The operator found four gaps that would bite on first use: a lost phone
locked the mesh's only person out, an operator message had no addressee,
asks could not name the specifics they need, and the operator was a
holder's flag. Each is now a rule with its check and its build phase.
Research 028 graduates: the mesh needs to ask as well as tell, over
channels that are seats rather than code inside one notifier, and an
action a person must approve cannot rest on a desk click an agent can
forge. TOTP verified by the controller is the proof; a key stays optional.
Amends to-be 45 section 5 as ADR 0227 left it to.
The operator widened the direction: asks need not be about permission, the work context picks
the channel, and desktop buttons should serve at the desk. Make the conversation the core model
and keep authorisation as a layer on top, with proofs a desk click alone cannot give.
The operator asked to approve and reject through Telegram, for a generic shape in which a
channel holds a seat, for input triggers, and for capabilities that decide which actions travel
where. Widen 028 rather than open a new effort, since its Q1, Q7 and Q8 own the question.
Issue 258's seat rule, written for the resolver, re-bound a machine's database consumers to the store
holding the seat elsewhere, where each was made an empty database, and nothing said so. Record the
incident, limit 258's rule to provisions that keep nothing, and decide that a binding to data is
kept and moved only by a pin.
Two modules existed only to say one thing each: networking required mesh-wireguard and nothing else,
and public-acme pointed the one proxy at Let's Encrypt. dhcpcd and cloudflare-dns are assigned
nowhere. Retire all four, keeping every machine's network and every certificate as they are.
Five passes are 25 s, shorter than a real hiccup; and a TypeScript provider's
remove can destroy, so retiring never calls it. Every TypeScript provider is
mark-only until it gains a retire that disables.
The operator's decision replaces ADR 0229's hourly release: the mesh no longer
finishes alone what its bound exists to question. To-be 45 and the module
protocol amended; 0229 and 0224 point to where their mechanism moved.
Phase 3 of to-be 45 was built: the details its section 7 left open are
decided in the record and the design says them as built — where budgets are
counted, the settle, what a healer may send, H4 on D6's consumer-behind, the
report verb's shape, the mesh-wide brake and S15.
Phase 2 of to-be 45 met questions its paragraphs do not answer: a strict
node-engine refuses an unknown key, a lease bucket can be raised again from
nothing, a command at a shell sends declarations too, and the bus's grant
is composed by the controller that needs it. The answers, the wire contract
and the withdrawal brake go into to-be 45 with issue 270's Phase 1
decisions; issue 272 records that the SDK's provider loop says nothing on
the bus.
The controller read 0113 as refusing to replace any value given to it, so
two leaked secrets only their own modules read could not be rotated without
a person handling a new value. Amends to-be 13 and points 0113 at it.
The operator-channel's holder said three hours of cleared conditions as new
the moment its consumer was made; recorded so the class has a home, with
its fix in mesh-catalog #88 and the to-be 45 §5 amendment still owed.
Building Phase 1 of to-be 45 found four of its rows depend on later phases
and S9 hears only the controller's own connection; the decisions the build
made that the design does not state are recorded for an amendment.
Phase 0 is being built in mesh-controller and mesh-host. Granting the
controller its own buckets showed that its grant never covered the work
queues' cancelled sets, so every cancel times out.
The operator approved the conclusion: the core must say when it is wrong
instead of waiting to be looked at. Record the nine rules with their
checks, and specify the parts and the six phases a build can take.
Issue 263: one global 20-character bound held keyless provisions to an
object store's key, was found only when a provider composed, and then
refused the provider's whole machine. Take ADR 0049's option C, check
overflows before merge, and leave an overflowing consumer out of its
provider's grants instead of refusing the provider.
The operator's mandate: races, ignored commands and silence keep recurring.
Classifies 48 recent issues by class, proposes nine checkable principles and
a phased roadmap, for review before anything graduates.
The same empty schemas recurred for push, plan, assign, pin and settings;
for push the dropped machine became a push of the whole mesh. Record the
evidence, the cause in the console's address form, and the open fixes.
The identity provider's admin lost the mesh's password again when its database
moved, and 31,000 silent failures followed. Record the recurrence, the rule
that makes a failing provider visible in status, and the module's self-repair.
