jschoubben 5d13f9c83d Issue 050 — the catalogue knows nothing built before it started
A mesh raised from bare metal built six modules and its catalogue reported three:
exactly those built after it began running. Missing were the shared base, the
store, and the catalogue itself.

The hole is never random. On a fresh mesh the modules built before the catalogue
are by necessity the ones it needed in order to exist, so the foundation is
always what is absent, on every mesh, at the moment the graph is first populated.

It breaks the question the catalogue is for: build edges hang off the base, so a
catalogue with no record of it answers 'what must be rebuilt' confidently and
wrongly. And nothing reports the gap, because a catalogue cannot know what it was
never told — this was found by comparing its answer against what the mesh had
just been watched doing.
