Issue 153 resolved: an assignment places a module's directories and its accesses

 | `directory` | a directory with a mode and an owner, **placed by the mesh** under the node's root: `place: "."` is the assignment's own root, `place: "mesh"` the mesh's directory for the module, a pathless one sits beneath the root by its id; a stated path is the placement for data that must stay where it is, and may itself sit beneath a placed one (`${dir:<id>}/…`). Everything else names it as `${dir:<id>}` ([issue 119](../../04-ISSUES/119-a-module-definition-decides-where-its-files-live/00-report.md), [174](../../04-ISSUES/174-the-meshs-own-files-for-a-module-are-placed-by-the-definition/00-report.md)) | ✅ |
