+      **The account**: a person is not a module and holds no seat, so their authority is a list of
+      tools (or `*` for an administrator) and nothing else. Held to four properties, each a way of
+      being wrong that would not announce itself: nothing but tools, so a person cannot claim a
+      module said something; no ack subject, because authority over a consumer that does not exist
+      is authority nobody audits; no ability to answer, because a person who can answer a request is
+      impersonating a module on a bus where anyone may serve a tool; and two people do not share an
+      inbox. Issued, listed and revoked by command; stating what somebody may call replaces what was
+      there, because a list that could only grow is a permission nobody can take back; and forgetting
+      somebody takes their credential with them, or it is not a revocation.
+
+      **The program**: two surfaces over one thing — a command line and an MCP server — both adapters
+      over the same three calls, because a second way of reaching a tool is a second thing to keep
+      correct. It uses the client a module's runtime uses, so what a person may do is answered by the
+      same permission list that answers it for a module and an audit has nothing separate to read.
+
+      Three decisions in it worth keeping. It lists what the **catalogue** has rather than what this
+      credential may call: somebody seeing only their own tools cannot tell "not installed" from "not
+      yours", and those need different people to fix them. A failed call says which of three things
+      happened — nobody serves it, this credential may not, or the tool was slow — because the
+      remedies are in three different places and without that they are one timeout and a stack trace.
+      And the MCP surface decides nothing: the names are the ones a person types, the schemas are the
+      modules' own, an answer is passed through unshaped, and a tool that fails comes back as a tool
+      error rather than a protocol error, because the request was well-formed and the mesh answered it.
+
+      Both surfaces are driven against a running bus, including a host's notification being answered
+      with nothing and an unknown method refused.

-      Still to build: the client program itself — the command line and the MCP surface over it.
-      It needs nothing from the consume side, so it is not blocked by step 3.
 - [~] 4.5 reports and catch-up: a node that was unreachable catches up rather than losing them —
       **the reports half is in and proved against a server** (3.4): held through the store's absence
       by the server rather than by the controller, superseded ones settled by the digest they carry.
