The bundles refactor took 0188 on main while this waited in a pull request,
and the mesh's own code cites that one, so this record moves. Only the number
moved; the decision is the one taken on 2026-10-02, and the record says so.
Issue 202 re-checked against the refactored main: the fault stands, and the
test that surfaced it now fails one step earlier on issue 203's new credential
guard. Proven again past both — mint the credential, compose twice, and all
eight of dnsmasq's resources appear only with the setting set. ADR 0164 is
noted as the decision that answers half of it, and is not built.
The front door for "something is wrong" at the level of the mesh's design or governance.
Diagnosis happens here, where the whole mesh is in view; the fix lands in the owning code
repository.
What belongs here
Belongs here
Belongs in the knowledge base
The design permits a failure to be silent
How to fix one occurrence of it
A documented rule is enforced by nothing
A command that works around it
A stated invariant is false in practice
A node-specific quirk
The owner is unknown and finding it needs the whole mesh in view
Symptom → fix, once the answer is known
The knowledge base already holds the operational record and is indexed on symptoms. This
folder is not a second copy of it. An issue here is a question HQ must answer; an entry
there is an incident someone must clear. An issue whose answer is a general lesson belongs in
both.
