ADR 0218: grants before code, one machine first, a newer merge takes over an
older plan (to-be 30 amended). Issues 250 (a merge announced twice), 251 (the
record's checkout owned by another account), 252 (a merge's changed modules
read wrong), 253 (the collector would delete every kept archive; to-be 18
amended, ADR 0189 corrected as a progressive insight), 254 (plans run over
each other); 249 located.
248, located: a consumer made with the server's default replays the whole
stream, and the controller's held every new merge and build behind a week of
old ones. 249, open: a module's new state reaches its bundle before the
grants that let it use it.
The nightly collector is back on the store (mesh-catalog#57). It was out for
a day because while-stopped named the module-local id and the host refuses a
declaration naming a container it does not have, whole; the namespacing was
fixed the same night and the composition was read before anything was sent
this time — plan's distribution.collect shows while-stopped as
distribution.store. novox applied it with no refusal and the registry was
untouched.
The store is 40G at 14:37, the filesystem 56% full; the collector first fires
at 03:30. Deleting a manifest frees no bytes until then, so that is the
number to read against.
244: mesh-controller.plan and .node publish an empty schema and then refuse
with 'needs node', including when node is passed — the console drops what
the schema does not declare. A tool that cannot be called is worse than one
that is absent, because it is listed. Worked around through the login shell,
which is the path the console exists to replace.
Graduates research 029 and amends design 36 (section 8): skills, subagents,
commands, hooks and output styles in one nox-mesh plugin; servers, settings
and instructions in the managed files; mesh, node and home scopes.
The operator scoped backups to mistakes, not disasters (issue 242). Issue 238: fix the failed logins
at their source instead of exempting the operator's address.
241: the SDK harness read a failed read as "no consumer" and withdrew all seven databases on the
control node; withdrawal destroyed data in seven providers. Fixed in mesh-sdk 0.1.10, mesh-catalog#44
and mesh-host#22; the recovery and what it lost are recorded. 242: nothing backs anything up.
Six of seven checks confirmed and autoMode from managed settings very likely;
the agent cannot undo its own managed settings, which a design must allow for.
The operator's direction: mesh, node and home. A plugin carries the first
two; the home scope places items the module owns path by path; instructions
follow the same layering.
Skills, subagents and hooks have no machine-wide place but a plugin, and
hand-copied homes have drifted and gone stale on every machine. Records the
evidence, what the vendor allows, and the options a decision must settle.
Rules for what the agent may do were set by hand per machine, invisible to
the mesh, and a session cannot loosen its own permissions; design 36 now
takes them as a module setting under the mesh's own keys.
