jschoubben a8921fe737 ADR 0122: a seat is data the controller owns; a rename is a database update
Reviews 0110/0121 after a session where renaming seats cost three freezes, a
builder deadlock, and hand-resolved manifests. The seat rules were right; the
set being a compiled Go slice referenced by name-string everywhere was the
mistake. Seats become a table keyed by a stable id; claims/held/production code
reference the id; a rename is one UPDATE, no rebuild, no re-registration, no
freeze. The build machine reads the set from the mesh instead of embedding it,
removing the controller/builder seat coupling. Closed set and scope naming
unchanged; only storage and reference change. Outstanding renames (registry
seats, private-network scope) wait for this — as data each is a write.
