Graduate 005; record what 0058 answered in 008

Continuing the sweep. Both were answered by records that did not cite them,
which is the same pattern 003 showed -- an effort stays active because the
decision that resolved it was reached from another direction.

005 graduates. Three of its four questions are answered: provider modules do
not group (0044), the ~50 modules that co-change with nothing stay as they are,
and 'group or leave' was never the right pair -- 0054 reframes it as authority
versus package. Worth noting the debt runs the other way too: this effort's
measurement, that reachability is the ONLY place modules genuinely co-change,
is what 0054 rests on and why connectivity is a context while nothing else
needed one.

Its fourth question moves rather than closes. Whether applications leave the
monorepo before or after they group is a sequencing question, so it belongs to
009-migration.

008 stays active, with its central question marked answered: the coordinator
converges nodes on a declaration rather than dispatching stages (0058). The
three-silo split survives with the third redefined. What 0058 explicitly does
NOT answer is how a change becomes a pipeline reliably -- detection is upstream
of everything it changed and remains the fragile input.

## Answered since
**Does the coordinator dispatch stages, or converge nodes on a declaration?** — *Converge.*
[ADR 0058](../../02-DECISIONS/0058-delivery-ends-in-a-declaration.md): a pipeline ends when the
declaration is updated, and deploy stops being once-per-node. The host applies it and reads back,
so the reporter is the applier — which is what this effort was circling when it asked what a
*deployed state* is.
**Does the three-silo split survive?** — *Yes, with the third redefined.* Build and publish are
unchanged; deploy becomes one write rather than a fan-out.
**What is a deployed state?** — *Partly.* "The declaration is updated, and here is which nodes
have applied it" is the answer 0058 gives, and it makes *outstanding* a first-class result rather
than a stall. What it does not answer is what a node reports and how, which waits on the link.
**Explicitly NOT answered, and 0058 says so:** *how a change becomes a pipeline, reliably.*
Detection remains the fragile input — *a merge that created no pipeline, and nothing said so* is
upstream of everything 0058 changed and is untouched by it.
