+Proven 2026-10-04 on the control machine: after the manifest change was merged and pushed, the host
+created the controller's account, ran its preparation step, started the controller as a process,
+found it up across both checks and removed the container. The controller now runs as its own account
+from its bundle, no controller container remains, its seat answered throughout, and the merge's own
+plan finished all three tiers under the new process.
+
+One fault on the way, fixed before it could leave two controllers or none: the host read the account
+not existing yet as a user database that did not answer — it matched the exit as text in a wording
+its own runner did not use — so the first apply stopped at the account and the container kept serving,
+which is the handover's safe failure (mesh-host#88).

+decided: genesis reads only the controller's process from the manifest, builds the controller's image
+from its repository, and pivots to a container of its own shape recorded under the id the process
+`replaces`; an older controller in the image form still builds as before. **How it is checked:** the
+installer's tests build the genesis form from the controller's real manifest, and apply the
+controller's first process declaration over the recorded container with the host's own apply — the
+process starts, the container is removed, one controller remains. A real install from nothing has not
+been run since; the handover it ends in was proven live on the running mesh (issue 213).
