0113 — the plaintext claim was false under its own mechanism: handing a provider's answer to the controller puts every secret on the broker and in the controller in the clear. The provider now seals each secret field itself, to the consumer node's public key the mesh hands it, and the controller carries sealed fields it cannot open. That is stricter than today, where the controller holds every minted credential in the clear. Option 3 (plaintext to the controller) is recorded and rejected. The foundation exception now covers root-secret rotation (0085) and forms like the broker admin's hash, so no phase claims to remove the broker's bootstrap step. To-be 24 and 13 are named among what it amends. 27 — resolution is consistent with 0110: co-location and the only provider apply only where no seat delivers the provision, so an unheld seat is refused even with one provider. The secret-field rule now matches 0086 exactly (a declared env-file, never a container environment value). The seat placeholder is the controller's, and the one module reading it moves to a host port. Contracts are held by the controller and written down in phase 1, so they can be checked; every rule has a check. An operator's secret is still the operator's, with the vault as custodian. Which seats a module holds is listed as not settled. 0110 — the unheld-seat-with-one-provider case and the one-answer-for-everyone rule have checks; the claim about moved manifests is corrected. 26 — the table governs and the code catches up, not the reverse; scope and capacity agree with the glossary; moving a seat is described as it really is today. 0112 — aligned with 27, and lists 0049 and 26 among what it changes. Issue 118 is renumbered 119: another branch took 118 first. 'Control-plane' is gone from 0110 and 0111.
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.
