A provision names its engine; the substrate supplies only the control plane
**0027 — provisions.** A module written against PostgreSQL could be matched to a provider of SQL Server, resolve as satisfied, and fail on its first query. The name said the role, so nothing distinguished engines. Refusing on ambiguity could not help: with one provider of each name nothing is ambiguous. Enforced at parse rather than documented, because the old naming was the documentation. **0028 — the substrate.** 0006 admits an object store on the grounds that it cannot grant itself a bucket. That answers the second half of the test and assumes the first: the control plane does not need one. Verified — no S3 client in mesh-control, and internal/builder/registry.go records the deliberate choice to put artifacts in the OCI registry as content-addressed blobs. The row was inherited from the system being replaced, where an object store distributed module tarballs, and was never re-tested against the definition above it. So an object store is an ordinary module, and a mesh with nothing needing one runs none. Migrating it is module work, not substrate work. 0028 also states what 0006 left unsaid: a substrate service and a module of the same product are different instances. The substrate is raised from the bundle before any mesh exists, so it is not in the module graph — a workload depending on it would depend on something the graph cannot see, cannot rotate a credential for, and cannot move, and would put workload data in the store the control plane keeps its own state in. Both records were found by reading code against design rather than design against itself, which is the review that should have happened sooner.
