jschoubben ec7b6e0748 ADR 0086: a secret reaches a process as a file, and an exception is declared
Closes issue 041 by decision and by code on the same branch: the catalogue
engine refuses a secret in a container's env, and a secret-carrying env-file
unless the container declares its reason; the controller reads all six of
its credentials from files; design 13 states the rule and how it is checked.

jschoubben fc4ab370d6 Graduate issues 067 and 068 to decisions and to-be designs
ADR 0084 (extends 0027) — a provision is served by a node-scoped provider the
consumer selects, defaulting to co-location; a module may instead carry a private
embedded instance that is not a provision. Design: 01-to-be/23-choosing-a-provider.

ADR 0085 (extends 0031) — a secret is a provision and the vault is the module that
provides it; a module's own local secret becomes an ordinary pair credential that
rotates through the existing machinery, while the controller's provisioning-credential
mint (0048) is unchanged. Design: 01-to-be/24-the-secrets-vault; doc 13 amended to
cross-link the non-pair secret.

Issues 067/068 marked resolved with amended-design set. ADR index regenerated;
records and index checks pass.

jschoubben 1111bd84d7 Establish the repo for the completed Phase 0-3 build
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.

jschoubben 33a00d5656 Adopt the glossary's vocabulary in the mutable design docs
"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.

jschoubben 2baf22ac43 A pair is a module and a provider, not two machines
Amends the credentials page, which said "every pair has its own
credential" and meant two machines. Built that way, it was wrong in a
way that only shows on a real node: a machine running several services
against one database server had one credential between them, so the
provider refused to plan at all and the consuming node quietly gave the
first module a credential and the rest nothing.

The page already argues the case against itself — one credential with
many holders is the first of the three faults it was written to remove.
It just drew the boundary at the machine.

Two modules on one node are as separate as two on different nodes, and
one login opening both is what this page exists to prevent. It is also
what makes withdrawal possible: one role per machine cannot say that
this module has lost its login and the others still have theirs.

jschoubben 1b5308c9cc Review of the to-be layer: check what the documents claim against what runs
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.

jschoubben 0bc4b7774f Record what four more pieces of the mesh became
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.
