Settles the design repository now that the self-upgrade build is on main:
- Records the two decisions that shipped without a record — ADR 0077 (the
controller/foundation/node vocabulary) and ADR 0078 (the store and broker are
ordinary modules); accepts ADR 0075 and 0076, which shipped work rests on.
- Fills issue 051's amended-design and wires ADR 0078 into 07-the-foundation.
- Sweeps the repo rename (mesh-control -> mesh-controller) into the mutable docs
now that the forge repo is renamed; updates the glossary note and repos.md.
- Fixes the six broken links from the design-doc renames, indexes the glossary,
regenerates the decisions reading order.
Both checks (records.py, index.py) are green. Statuses stay honest: the build is
on main and lab-proven but not deployed as the production mesh, so the to-be docs
remain in-progress and the as-is layer (the hal mesh) is unchanged — graduation
to implemented + as-is belongs to deployment, not merge.

"control plane" -> controller and "substrate" -> foundation throughout
03-DESIGN, 00-META and the README, with 06-the-control-plane.md and
07-the-substrate.md renamed to 06-the-controller.md and 07-the-foundation.md.
The immutable 02-DECISIONS records keep their original wording (and links to
them are unchanged) — a term retired here may still appear there, which the
glossary explains how to read.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01D6qtiYU3P9jk3pnAXyAFyx
Turn the completed vendor-agnostic analysis into HQ design. The model-access
provision stays one vendor-blind interface (extends 0024/0027); the
vendor-specific lifecycle moves into a per-vendor adapter keyed by the licence's
`vendor` field, mirroring registrar-scoped public-dns providers (0044), named at
the consumer's real coupling per 0040.
The crux is the sealing-vs-central-rotation carve-out: for refreshable-grant
vendors only, the manager node holds the refresh token encrypted at rest (a
bounded, declared exception), access tokens sealed per holder, refresh stripped
on delivery. Static-key vendors keep full sealing.
Amend 03-DESIGN/01-to-be/14-model-access.md with the adapter generalisation as a
proposed section (prose + diagram, no code); regenerate the decision index.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LrgweAeERJYBg88c5cKDzF
A session as a licence consumer needed no change either: the two
sessions are two modules, so the existing (node, module) binding already
names them apart. 14-model-access.md's "a step toward it and not it" is
true of a worker and not of a session, and the difference is that there
is one session per node rather than many per machine.
Records what stays open: the worker half of that gap is real and
unaffected, and belongs with 0003, which is unbuilt.
Two tasks in a row that were already possible. Both were written from
the design rather than from the code — the review's own finding arriving
in the plan it produced. The remaining Phase 1 items should be checked
against the code before being started rather than after.
First pass of a design review, done by reading documents against code
and against a raised mesh rather than against each other. Every error
below was invisible to a proofread.
**Statuses were stale, and nothing checked them.** Ten to-be documents
said `designed` while naming working, lab-proven code — several with a
*What was built* or *Raised, and observed* section. Added a
`status-vs-code` check: naming a file is a claim that the file
implements this, so a document that points at one has stopped being
merely designed. It failed on all ten before it passed, per the rule
this folder sets for its own checks.
**The bundle carries three images, not two.** 07 reasoned about which
substrate services go in and overlooked that the control plane is in
there too — it is what the substrate exists to start, and there is
nothing to fetch it with yet. Counted, not deduced.
**The bootstrap uses four shapes, not six.** It listed `file` and
`directory`, which substrate-first-node.lock never asks for. The claim
that mattered — nothing is blocked on the host — was true either way,
which is why the wrong count survived.
**The eight capabilities were documented nowhere.** Implemented in
internal/profile/detectors.go and enumerated in no document, including
the one about the host that detects them. A vocabulary modules write
against, readable only by reading the code. Now written down, with the
seat/graphical-session distinction that is wrong in both directions if
collapsed.
**MinIO swept out of the to-be layer** per 0028.
The gate now fails on one thing left deliberately: ADR 0024 is
`proposed` while two documents rest on it and the feature it decides is
built and lab-proven. Accepting a decision is not mine to do.
A session for the mesh itself, addressed as the mesh, differing from a
node's in exactly three things: the context it starts in, its engram,
and its licence binding. Not a new kind of agent — the same mechanism
pointed at a different root. Two implementations of one mechanism drift,
and the vocabulary collision 0001 exists to undo began exactly that way.
It runs on the control-plane node, and the reasoning is easy to get
backwards: not "the important agent on the important machine", but that
this node is already the one place excepted from "compromise of a node
is compromise of that node". Placed anywhere else it would create a
second such place.
It is an addition to per-node messaging and never a replacement. 0001
holds that losing the control plane costs change, not operation — and a
mesh whose only conversational surface lived there would lose the
ability to ask anything while every machine kept running perfectly.
Writing it up exposed that the node session's setup was never designed
at all. 0004 gives behaviour and stops: nothing said how a session
starts, where its context lives, or how a broker message becomes a
prompt. That gap was invisible until something had to be built *like* a
node session. 15-the-agent-session.md covers both as one mechanism.
It also makes "a consumer that is not a machine" undeferrable. The
control-plane node now hosts two sessions that must hold different
licences, and a per-machine binding cannot express that at all. Noted in
14-model-access.md against the gap it was already recorded as.
Also completes the to-be index, which stopped at 10 and omitted four
documents. Pre-existing broken ADR references in the older rows are left
alone rather than guessed at.
Rotation and the provisioner contract; model access as a provision answered by
a record, with ADR 0024's other two gaps left as gaps; exposure, which closes
the open question about revoking a route; and the delivery loop, which closes
the gap ADR 0010 left when it replaced a pipeline with a comparison.
