Three wordings disagree, and the confusion is the damage: the glossary defines artifact as an OCI image while the build vocabulary already names four kinds in use, two of which are not images; the image registry's seat is named after its job while ADR 0079 names foundation seats after their servers and ADR 0109 names package seats after their ecosystem; and prose that says 'the module's image' reads as though a module were an image. Records the question the naming hides: ADR 0075 keeps two provisions because packages and images are two protocols, and already allows the forge to provide the artifact store. The second implementation rests on a bootstrap argument, and the forge has the same upstream-server shape the store and broker have, which ADR 0078 raises as plumbing and adopts in place.
04-ISSUES
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.

Rules
- Anyone may open an issue. No localisation is required to report one.
- The full flow is playbook
00-META/process/03-issues.md. - Closed issues are never deleted — they are the mesh's symptom-to-component memory.
wontfixis legitimate and requires a sentence saying why.
