Found in the lab, doing the ordinary thing: raise a first node, enrol it, send
it a declaration. Both declared resources applied correctly and every container
on the machine was removed -- the store, the broker, and the control plane that
had sent the message. The link died mid-sentence because the broker carrying it
had just been torn down by what it carried.
Nothing is behaving incorrectly. Apply removes what the store holds and the
declaration does not name, which is what reconciliation means. The fault is
that the carried bundle and mesh declarations share one store, so the host
cannot tell what this machine raised for itself before there was a mesh from
what the mesh told it to have.
It is invisible until those two meet, which happens exactly once per mesh: on
the first node, after enrolment, the moment the control plane first speaks.
The report says what is not the answer, including the tempting one -- having
the control plane send the substrate back. It cannot: it was never told what
the bundle contained, and the bundle exists precisely because there was no
control plane to ask.
