to-be 08 §2: the uplink's holder writes resolv.conf (why not NM global DNS / dhcpcd static), one-writer rule incl. rendered facts, the node-engine's whole-file handover, node-hostname with /etc/hostname from a setting with no default and effective at next boot; how each is checked. Code list updated.
to-be 26: node-hostname row (formerly node-hosts-file, alias), node-resolver-config row retired; migrations 0063/0064 in code.
ADR 0223: dated progressive insight — the managers' own DNS mechanisms cannot write the mesh's file, so each module declares it; the decision stands. (If you read that as a judgement rather than a fact, it wants a superseding record instead.)

Checks: records.py, index.py, cycle.py pass. Implementation PRs: mesh-host files-forget-when-held, mesh-catalog/mesh-controller resolv-conf-to-uplink, retire-resolv-conf, hostname-module.

Design: resolv.conf is the uplink's holder's, a machine's names are node-hostname's (ADR 0223 parts 2 and 3) 9b7fac3084

The build of both parts is in review; the designs now say how they work and
are checked, and ADR 0223 records that the managers' own DNS mechanisms could
not write the mesh's file.

Delivery novox/hq@fd4df96c21e7 — held since 2026-10-06T23:05:28Z

Held for a person: merged without a passing check: only a person decides that it goes on — mesh-delivery.release with why lets it go on.

Delivery plan — builds nothing: the change touches no module of the mesh's graph
