Issues 192 and 193: the console reaches a person only by hand; the store's read-only query is not #272

192: a session had no mesh tools because the console's registration was made by hand and scoped to one project. Three gaps:
- the console provides no endpoint;
- its port was chosen by its definition: no assignment exists, because a host-network port without a mapping is never assigned (ADR 0038 gap);
- nothing owns a person's agent configuration since the predecessor left.
The sketched fix is a mesh-tools provision and a coding-agent module writing system-wide managed settings (managedMcpServers, not the exclusive managed file).
193: the store seat's query wraps the caller's text in BEGIN TRANSACTION READ ONLY; …; ROLLBACK;. A leading commit escapes it, with the holder's administrative role. This is read from code and not tried live. The same wrapping is why rows come back keyed by BEGIN.

Checks: records, index, cycle pass.

- **192**: a session had no mesh tools because the console's registration was made by hand and scoped to one project. Three gaps: - the console provides no endpoint; - its port was chosen by its definition: no assignment exists, because a host-network port without a mapping is never assigned (ADR 0038 gap); - nothing owns a person's agent configuration since the predecessor left. The sketched fix is a `mesh-tools` provision and a coding-agent module writing system-wide managed settings (`managedMcpServers`, not the exclusive managed file). - **193**: the store seat's `query` wraps the caller's text in `BEGIN TRANSACTION READ ONLY; …; ROLLBACK;`. A leading commit escapes it, with the holder's administrative role. This is read from code and not tried live. The same wrapping is why rows come back keyed by `BEGIN`. Checks: records, index, cycle pass.

192: no provision says where the console is, its port was never assigned, and nothing
owns a person's agent configuration since the predecessor left. 193: the query verb wraps
the caller's text in a read-only transaction the text can end, and its rows come back
keyed by BEGIN.
