jschoubben 10fa7c76d7 The substrate is a store and a broker
Third correction to one table today, found the same way as the other
two: by asking whether both halves of the test were answered, or only
the easy one.

0006 admits the registry because "it cannot grant itself a repository" —
true, and the second half. Nothing established that the control plane
needs one in order to run. Counted rather than argued: the bundle raises
twelve resources and no registry is among them. The registry arrives
afterwards as an ordinary module, which is exactly what the lab asserts.

0006 half-said this already, calling it "substrate by role and ordinary
by delivery, provisioned once there is a control plane to do it". A
member provisioned by the thing it supposedly precedes is not a member;
that phrase was carrying a contradiction rather than resolving one.

The registry is a closer call than the object store and the difference
is worth keeping: the control plane never touches an object store at
all, but it genuinely uses the registry. So the registry is a real
dependency of the mesh operating and not of the control plane starting —
and it is the second that the word means.

The substrate is now exactly what the bundle raises, which is the
strongest form the list can take: checkable by counting rather than by
reading an argument, and the two cannot drift.

The finding is not about substrates. A test with two conditions is a
test only when both are asked.
