jochen 4b5793144d ADR 0272: §4 as built after the confirmation review, ADR 0266 linked now it is merged
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/merge-gate pass: the change touches no module of the mesh's graph
mesh/delivery delivered
An ordinary line meets the generic verb's reading forms and never a
terminal-only command (node account and node agent-account by ADR 0266,
token, operator, a secret's export); a terminal line drops ADR 0266's
served mark, so it reads as the terminal. How it is checked says the
withholding tests search base64 too and fail when what they guard goes,
and the control-node refusal is tested through the acts.

jochen bac7feca77 ADR 0272: the review's answers — every line a call, the socket grants nothing, the terminal does not follow assign, each claim and how it is checked

- §3: the node-engine vouches and decides nothing; deadline first, other
  namespaces refused, each account bounded and answered busy; the subject
  is the machine's own in the writers table.
- §4: phase 1 refuses the agent account (phase 2 answers it); an ordinary
  settings line takes the settings verb's path; the controller's module is
  assigned at the terminal only, so the terminal does not follow assign;
  'no wider than today' holds only while its two measured facts hold.
- §5: every line is a call, followed to its answer; 'nothing ran' only of
  a line nobody took, otherwise 'not known' with the call; the answer is
  its asker's alone.
- §7: after the four merge, the operator assigns mesh-cli to every node.
- How it is checked: each claim with its test or measurement, the
  MESH_VERB refusal in mesh-cli named a courtesy, and the sudo and
  agent-account facts read on the control-node today.

The records send the operator to "the controller's terminal", and on the
control-node `mesh-controller` is not a command: the controller is a mesh
process with its own account and environment, and nothing puts anything on
PATH. The record proposes mesh-cli, a module on every node whose program
asks the node-engine over a local socket; the node-engine vouches for the
account from the kernel and asks the controller on its node's own subject;
the controller runs the line as the terminal only for the operator's account
where no agent can be that account. The glossary gains mesh-cli, nox (its
zsh alias) and the controller's terminal.
