jochen 179fd7f83f To-be 38: building the operator's machine as work packages; ADR 0175 collision renumbered to 0180
The runtime work of design 37 broken down the way design 28 broke down the
bus: what exists measured (the host needs no change — a process and an
archive are what the runtime and a bundle are; the runtime does the job for
one module and must do it for a list), the order the dependencies allow, and
eight packages each ending at a proof on the live mesh — the lab skipped by
the operator's decision, ADR 0149 cited. WP1 the runtime serves many modules;
WP2 the controller composes one per node (a node principal, bundle archives,
the runtime's process, the gate); WP3 the runtime is a module and the console
its serving mode; WP4 the packet filter moves first; WP5 the shell on a
server; WP6 the service manager on a workstation; WP7–8 named and not broken
down.

Main carried two records numbered 0175 and cycle.py refused it: the one that
landed last (the found front end is uninstalled) takes 0180, the next free
across main and the open changes, with a dated note; design 08's citation
follows it; the index is regenerated.

jochen bf39baf104 Research 018 graduates: ADRs 0173–0177 and to-be 37, the operator's machine
Every configurable thing on a node is a module, the home included, and a
module is whatever it declares (0173, extending 0040). A node varies a module
only through a setting rendered into the file or a kept region, never an edit
(0174, extending 0011; issue 168 first). One tool runtime per node serves every
module's tools on the host side, never in a container; the console is its
serving mode, renamed node-tools (0175, extending 0150; 0047/0150/0152 carry
dated notes). The login shell is a node seat held by one shell module with
`execute` as its contract (0176). A unit may be user-scoped and the service
manager is a node seat held by systemd (0177).

To-be 37 is handed off in-progress to mesh-host, mesh-controller, mesh-tools
and mesh-catalog, with the build in order: the account on every node, the
runtime, zsh, systemd, then the graphical stack. To-be 29 keeps ~/.ssh and
points at 37; 33 §6 and 34 are amended; the glossary gains node tools, bundle,
kept region, installed/holding, and retires flavor.

jochen 7fb59bde98 Research 018: the operator's machine as modules
The predecessor is retired on every node and what it still owned on the two
workstations — some thirty modules of dotfiles, user units and /etc files — is
owned by nothing. To-be 29 covers one directory under the home; the operator
wants the whole machine, system folders and home alike, as modules: one
default configuration each, varied per node by settings or a kept region,
never an edit; roles the machine has once as node-scoped seats with tool
contracts; the graphical stack gated by a capability so the same catalogue
serves the servers.

Four documents: the intended behaviour in the mesh's words; the predecessor's
desktop measured (34 modules, one with 88 files, 4 flavors and ~90 theme
variables) against what the records already give and what is missing (the
account is empty on every node, no user-scoped units, settings leak, tools run
in a container per module per node); the direction the operator set for where
tools run — one executor per node, host-side, module-agnostic, the console
renamed and moved out of its container, superseding 0047/0150 for tools; and
the candidate seats of the environment with first verbs, the shell first.

covered issue folders only; it covers decision records now, and would have
refused this.

Designs 33 and 08 revised. The first node-scoped seat with verbs: rules,
reload, remove; the nftables module holds it from a runtime with NET_ADMIN,
the first container to declare a capability.

jschoubben 331cb94c6e ADR 0169 (proposed): a machine joins through the tunnel, and the bus is never public
The bus was public only so a new machine could enrol before it had a
tunnel. The machine now makes its tunnel key first, the token is issued
for it and makes it a peer of the hub, and enrolment happens over the
tunnel.

record names the predecessor's chain.

jschoubben df667eb710 ADR 0167: a membership carries what its module receives, and who the mesh is
Issue 191's route proxy needs to know who the mesh is to serve an
internal name correctly, and the first fix had it work that out alone.
The membership on the bus now carries it, from the same list the filter
uses. ADR 0138 gains an insight that the proxy is where internal reach
is kept; designs 08 and 25 say how.

jschoubben db5ff5a5ee Issue 195: every assigned module is counted as a bus user without a credential
The status warning names 49 users; 48 are modules that never speak on the

generated value, looked the same as the rest.

jschoubben 780c2b6e58 Issue 194: the host's own former archive stops every machine applying anything
Rule 5 of ADR 0163 (a former target is removed) met issue 162 (an archive
has no removal) in the host's own archive, the first time a host carrying
former targets replaced itself; every machine applied nothing from then on.

The record gets its built note; designs 05 and 09 the revisions; 086, 098,
099, 100 and 101 stay located because every machine is converged and the
record's live row — a take read on an adopted machine — has not been run;
090 is built in part, its network difference left for the take to say.
