The three parked questions are answered: 0114 accepted, 0068 superseded, 117 settled

**0114 accepted.** The separation it draws — a consumer's resource and a
credential that reaches it are different things — is a data-loss rule,
and a record naming one should not sit unresolved while the code that
could hit it is written. Not built, and accepting it schedules nothing;
accepted-and-not-built is where 0141 and 0142 already are.

**0068 superseded by 0149, the live mesh is the test bed.** Never built,
and contradicted by practice that was written down nowhere but a handoff
note. The faults that cost the most are faults of a mesh that already
exists — bound consumers, containers made against an older roster, an
adopted machine — and a bed is by construction a mesh that does not.
Issue 156 settles it: that change was verified honestly, on the only path
where it cannot fail. The lab is not retired; raising a mesh from bare is
now its whole job.

**117 answered by 0150.** A module's own code runs as supervised
processes under the module's one account. 0047's argument was for a
runtime per module, not for a container — a unit satisfies it and runs as
an account. The invariant is the account, not the process count: its
worry was a second identity to scope and seal, and processes sharing one
account create none. Designs 18 and 20 now cite it and 0047 carries a
dated pointer, which closes the third disagreement — that neither design
knew the record existed.

## Answered (2026-09-30)
[ADR 0150](../../02-DECISIONS/0150-a-modules-own-code-runs-as-supervised-processes-under-one-account.md)
settles all three disagreements, and the design documents win two of them:
1. **Container or unit — a supervised process.** ADR 0047's argument never required a container. It
argued for a runtime *per module*, because a node-wide one could not hold a per-module account and
per-module runtimes on one tool key would be handed calls for tools they do not have. A unit per
module satisfies that exactly, and a unit runs as an account. The container was the mechanism to
hand. [ADR 0142](../../02-DECISIONS/0142-the-mesh-delivers-its-own-components-as-binaries.md) had
already gone the same way for the mesh's own components, and a module is not a container.
2. **One process or several — several, under one account.** 0047's "one module, one process, one
account" carried its weight in the last clause; its stated worry was "not a second one to scope and
seal", which is about a second *identity*. Processes sharing the module's one account create none.
What a module may not have is two accounts.
3. **Whether the record was consulted — fixed rather than answered.** Designs 18 and 20 now name 0150
in `decisions:`, and 0047 carries a dated note saying where its hosting form was settled, so neither
door leads to the wrong answer any more.
**What this does not fix.** A module's code delivered as a binary is behind the same gap as the host's
own ([ADR 0141](../../02-DECISIONS/0141-the-host-delivers-its-own-successor.md), accepted and not
built): a container's code arrives by `docker pull` and this does not, so until delivery exists such a
module is one somebody places by hand. 0150 records that as the cost of the decision, unpaid.
