Settles the design repository now that the self-upgrade build is on main: - Records the two decisions that shipped without a record — ADR 0077 (the controller/foundation/node vocabulary) and ADR 0078 (the store and broker are ordinary modules); accepts ADR 0075 and 0076, which shipped work rests on. - Fills issue 051's amended-design and wires ADR 0078 into 07-the-foundation. - Sweeps the repo rename (mesh-control -> mesh-controller) into the mutable docs now that the forge repo is renamed; updates the glossary note and repos.md. - Fixes the six broken links from the design-doc renames, indexes the glossary, regenerates the decisions reading order. Both checks (records.py, index.py) are green. Statuses stay honest: the build is on main and lab-proven but not deployed as the production mesh, so the to-be docs remain in-progress and the as-is layer (the hal mesh) is unchanged — graduation to implemented + as-is belongs to deployment, not merge. https://claude.ai/code/session_01D6qtiYU3P9jk3pnAXyAFyx
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.
