Issue 108: the artifact store has never collected anything. Fifty-three
repositories on the machine that serves everything else, and the only outcome
of leaving it is a full disk reported as somebody else's failure.
The mesh decides what may go — from its own build records, so it never names
a digest it did not put there — and the store reclaims the bytes in a nightly
window with its server held still. Deletion on the one door takes nothing a
push did not already have.
Designs 18 and 20 amended; issue 108 resolved.
Also issue 202, found running the controller's suite: a module whose required
setting nobody set is left out of the machine in silence, and dnsmasq became
that module this morning.
Two things were treated as one. The mesh's own artifact store holds the store seat and is internal by
design — reached by name over the overlay, no accounts, ADR 0082. Serving a registry publicly is a
service the mesh can host: a module with its own name, accounts and storage, like anything else it
runs for somebody. The conversion this report was written beside gave the seat holder a second public
door over the same filesystem, which is neither.
Keeps the original issue whole — no garbage collection, and the settings a routine needs are not
enabled — drops the two-door complication, and sharpens one thing: deletion on the only door is
deletion on a door with no accounts, which the predecessor kept behind its authenticated one.
