# Knowledge
|
|
|
|
**The mesh keeps no knowledge store.** What it knows is what its modules answer, and the way a person
|
|
or an agent asks is the console's tool list on the machine they sit at
|
|
([13 — The console](13-the-console.md)). This document used to describe two stores; it is rewritten
|
|
because neither exists from the mesh's side, and an as-is document that describes what is gone is a
|
|
brochure.
|
|
|
|
## What was here, and where it went
|
|
|
|
Until the cut-over of 2026-09-28 the predecessor ran two stores: an operational memory of notes
|
|
indexed on symptoms, and a structured archive of governed documents with a librarian approving
|
|
promotion. Both were reached through the predecessor's tool server over the bus the mesh removed
|
|
([issue 147](../../04-ISSUES/147-the-operators-tools-still-dial-the-bus-that-was-removed/00-report.md)).
|
|
Nothing in the mesh reaches them now, and nothing in the mesh has replaced them: there is no note
|
|
store, no archive, no librarian, and the lessons of the last days were written into this repository by
|
|
hand. That is a gap, and it is stated here rather than papered over. What replaces a symptom-indexed
|
|
memory, if anything does, is undecided.
|
|
|
|
## The record
|
|
|
|
**The design record is read where it is written.** Since 2026-09-30 a module, `records`, keeps a
|
|
checkout of this repository from the forge — cloned from the `git` seat, reset to the origin on every
|
|
merge the forge announces and every ten minutes — and answers over the bus: where a phrase appears as
|
|
written, one document whole, what a folder holds, and where the checkout stands, each naming the
|
|
commit it read. Which repository it reads is a setting on its assignment; the module names no mesh.
|
|
|
|
It is listed by the console beside every other tool, with a description that says to search the
|
|
literal words of a symptom before forming a hypothesis. That is what
|
|
[ADR 0025](../../02-DECISIONS/0025-the-design-record-is-read-not-copied.md) meant by *beside
|
|
everything else*, in a mesh with no store to be beside
|
|
([ADR 0153](../../02-DECISIONS/0153-the-record-is-read-by-a-module-and-the-console-lists-it.md)).
|
|
|
|
Nothing is copied. A checkout lags the source by seconds after an announced merge and by minutes
|
|
otherwise, and says so.
|
|
|
|
## The constitution
|
|
|
|
[`00-META/how-we-build.md`](../../00-META/how-we-build.md) is the source of the mesh constitution
|
|
([ADR 0021](../../02-DECISIONS/0021-hq-is-the-source-of-the-constitution.md)). The page it used to be
|
|
synchronised into lived in the predecessor's archive and is unreachable; the constitution today is
|
|
read from this repository, through the same module, and playbook 05's sync has nothing to write to.
|
|
|
|
## Where this repository sits
|
|
|
|
A third thing beside two that are gone, which makes it the first: the one governed record the mesh
|
|
has, public, read by a module the mesh assigns, and edited nowhere else.
|
