216 — A tools bundle nothing says to load is built, recorded, and never delivered

What was observed

2026-10-03, seven modules moved their tools from a container to a bundle. Each built, each build was recorded, and the machines that run them reported current — with none of the bundles on them. The composer delivers a bundle only when the runtime loads something from it, and that is derived from the module's tools list when the artifact names no loads; these modules had neither.

Why it matters beyond this instance

Every step reported success: the build, the registration, the push, the machine's apply. The tools were simply absent, and the old container was gone. A rule the composer applies silently is a rule nobody learns until the tools are missing.

Diagnosis

Owner mesh-controller (the catalogue's registration check). Fix direction: a bundle that nothing loads, runs or unpacks — no loads, no tools list on its module, no resource naming it — is refused at registration, naming the field that would deliver it. A test: such a manifest is refused; adding loads admits it.
