Extended after the first was proven. Every converged machine now holds
the anchor and verifies an internal name with a plain client; before,
the two unassigned ones answered 'unable to get local issuer
certificate' and held no entry for the mesh.
ace is excluded on purpose: it is adopted, so a module assigned there is
held rather than run, which is right and is not trust.
Both the resolution and 0147's insight said one machine of four, which
was true for about twenty minutes.
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.
