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.
ADR 0069 had already placed the controller's manifest in its own repository, and the
raising design called the catalogue copy a thing to remove. The installer's step 3 was
handed that manifest by the build and step 9 read a second copy anyway.
The end-to-end design held 'the run rebuilds what it tests' for binaries and images
and not for manifests. The beds' inline copies fell into three kinds; only the first
is a stale copy. The other two are named: a mesh test wearing a catalogue module's
name (074) and a stocked runtime image the run never rebuilds (075).
A seeded file is created once (0087); the foundation filters before anything
listens (0088); a machine becomes the last thing it was told (design 05).
Each says how it is checked.
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.
An audit of the six code repositories found eleven open issues fixed on main
with commits and beds to show (025, 027, 033, 036, 037, 040, 045, 047, 050,
052, 053), three partly (007, 026, 035), nine not (020, 031, 041, 046, 049,
054, 064, 065, 066) and one whose fix would live outside those repos (006).
Resolved ones name their evidence; partly ones say what remains; 041 records
that the exposure has widened since it was reported.
The installer half of the amended ADR 0085 is built and proven by the
genesis bed's root-secrets step; the foundation design closes its open item
and the installation design says what the installer does and what it still
cannot check.
A bed run from .work/<slug>/mesh-lab derives mesh-tools and mesh-sdk by
sibling path and fails at once when the directory holds only the touched
repos. Detached worktrees on main, never symlinks.
Recorded on the record, dated, before anything shipped against the sentences
that change. The vault is installed at genesis like the store and broker, one
per mesh, and holds every secret a module has for itself sealed a second time
to an operator key whose private half never enters the mesh — the break-glass
path the first version left open, without a key one place holds.
Design 24 says how; 07 and 21 say what genesis does not yet do; issue 071
names the fixed credentials the foundation is raised with today.
Design 24 flips to in-progress with mesh-catalog as its owner (playbook 04).
Starting the build surfaced two gaps the decision did not settle: a module
requiring `secret` receives exactly one value (069), and no command can
accept an operator's value into a consumer↔vault pair (070). Both opened as
issues rather than improvised around.
Also fills fixed-by on 067 and 068, which the cycle check refused as resolved
with no reference.
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.

Store and broker seats were made ordinary modules; secret-minting is still a
privileged property of the controller that no module owns. Propose the vault
become a module that provides a secret provision (generate/hold/rotate/backup/
audit), node-scoped like every other provider (issue 067), subsuming the three
secret paths and giving local-secret rotation a home.

Naming which provider is only half of how a module gets a database. The other
half: a module may carry its own version/fork-pinned instance, module-network
only, no published port, not a provision — and the model has no word for it.
Add it as a second axis with its own open questions.

The mesh models provisions as mesh-scoped (one provider of a kind, a single
mesh-store). But node-specific services delivered to the mesh was the plan from
the start: both nodes already run their own postgres, SQL server, redis and
object store, and identity — currently single — already serves apps on a second
node. The model cannot express which provider serves a consumer, so it collapses
a deliberately per-node fleet to one. Provider scoping is a whole-mesh decision
across postgres/s3-bucket/oidc, not an SSO patch.

Surfaced while reviewing the host apply loop for the controller/host
split discussion. 065: a permanently-failing resource retries for ever
with no escalation — reported, but never raises its hand as stuck.
066: a partly-applied declaration leaves a mixed state with no rollback,
which is harmless for independent resources and unexamined for pairs
that are only correct together. Both are questions HQ must answer, not
incidents — status open, no fix proposed.
The P1-sweep PR left both at 'located'; the fixes have since merged
(mesh-controller #31, mesh-tools #10) and the bed proves them. Flip to
resolved with their fixed-by.
060: 44 of 70 modules now mesh-buildable (was 8) — the mechanical
majority, proven by direct builds and the bed. The structural
remainders: external-dependency fetch (new issue 064) and route-proxy's
cross-repo build context. 064 records the build environment's isolation
from public npm and Docker Hub.
The broker's port was accepted on input but not forwarded, so a joined
node reached a DNAT'd broker only until it restarted. Fixed in
mesh-controller (25e42b3), proven by the built-store-cross-node bed
adopting the foundation's broker (which restarts it) and the joined
node still receiving declarations.
One push leaves the mesh consistent (the 057 decision, proposed for
acceptance); the shared runtime waits for its broker (058). Fixes on
mesh-control fix/one-push-is-enough and mesh-tools
fix/the-runtime-waits-for-its-broker; the built-store-cross-node bed
enforces both.
Fixed by mesh-controller PR 30 (79a9e17), rebased onto the merged
registry-reach train and proven by a green fresh run of the no-fake
two-node bed built from that commit.
One green fresh run of the no-fake two-node bed is the proof: node2's
consumers open the store and broker the mesh built and adopted, over
the overlay. Fixed by mesh-controller PR 29, mesh-catalog PR 26, gated
by mesh-lab PR 34.
061: the broker module's provisioner never ran; its runtime container
named no command and the image default is the tool host. 062: a failed
artifact-store lookup composed the network without the registry trust,
turning a transient error into permanent silent state. Both located,
fixes on the 042/048 train branches.
