The playbook, the README and the status skill knew five statuses; the cycle check
knew a sixth, 'fixed', and not 'wontfix'. Eleven issues sat in the sixth for weeks
with their fixes shipped, one step short of closed. They are resolved; the check
refuses the word from now on and accepts the one the playbook allows.
Composing a declaration signed the machine's certificate anew each
time, and a signing carries a fresh random serial — so what the mesh
would send differed from what it had sent by one byte, for ever, and
every machine carrying a certificate stood eternally waiting.
Third find of the same rule: issued once and kept. The port had it, the
secret had it, the certificate composed fresh on every asking — and the
keeping column had existed since the serving-key migration, written by
nothing, the same shape ReleasePorts was found in.
Found by keeping the scenario standing and diffing two plans seconds
apart: one line, where four theories had none.
