The graph had no owner: what modules are, what they require, what they claim and what they are built against all sat in the control plane because that is where it was written first. The control plane's own test says otherwise — anything a single machine could answer alone is not its work, and what a module needs requires no knowledge of any node. So the catalogue becomes a core module beside the control plane and the builder, owning the graph and serving tools over it. The control plane consumes it, which is the opposite of what the tiers suggest and is therefore stated rather than inferred. That makes the catalogue a fourth thing that cannot arrive through the ordinary path, so the claim written this morning that the list was closed at three is corrected. All four are answered by one mechanism instead: the installer carries an init builder and the core modules are built on the machine, so what is carried is a builder rather than a result and nothing is left without a route. Two things are open and named rather than assumed: where the init builder clones from, given the forge normally runs on the mesh it would be rebuilding, and what it publishes into, given the registry is installed later in the order today.

03-DESIGN / 01-to-be
The mesh being built toward. Every statement here traces to a record in
02-DECISIONS/; nothing arrives by drafting.
A document here describes an intention. What currently runs is in
00-as-is/, and the two are never merged — when something ships, the as-is
document is written and this one's status becomes implemented.

Not yet written
- The remaining six contexts.
ADR 0006
settles the list at seven;
connectivityis the first written in full (08) and the other six do not exist yet. The work breakdown says in what order they are needed. Domain grouping outside the core.Not needed. ADR 0009 is superseded by ADR 0009: there is no domain module to group into, so there is no domain list to settle. Relationships are edges, and grouping is a tag and a query.
