jschoubben 37b46d5349 ADR 0153 and ADR 0154: the record is read by a module, and the mesh's verbs are its seat's tools
Design 33 in progress against ADR 0154 (the twelve verbs, the prerequisites built); design 35 for
the records module under ADR 0153, extending 0025; as-is 07 rewritten to a mesh that keeps no store;
as-is 12 and 13 updated; issue 006 built and waiting on its live check.

03-DESIGN / 00-as-is

The mesh as it stands. These documents describe what runs, including the parts nobody would choose again — an as-is layer that only records the good decisions is a brochure.

They are written from the implementation and from the operational record, not from intent. Where the two disagree, the implementation wins and the disagreement is stated.

Document Covers
00-overview.md The whole in one pass — what a node is, what a module is, how work reaches it
01-mesh-and-transport.md The mesh database, the broker, discovery, and how a call reaches another node
02-modules-and-manifests.md The module, the manifest, and features as the unit of work
03-provisioning.md Declared requirements, provisioners, credentials, and cross-node grants
04-delivery.md Push to running: the three silos, levels, and what a green pipeline proves
05-runtime-and-installation.md The node runtime, its modes, and how a node comes into being
06-configuration-and-secrets.md Managed files, value resolution, and where secrets live
07-knowledge.md The mesh keeps no store: what it knows is what modules answer, and the record is read by one
08-agents-and-work.md Agents as employees, tasks, workflows, and the meeting model
09-interfaces-and-observability.md How the mesh is reached and watched — tools, board, proxy, health, thoughts
10-module-catalogue.md The catalogue's shape, and what its shape says
11-the-lab.md The lab — the first piece of the new shape that exists, and what it does not yet do
12-the-seats.md The seats the mesh defines, who holds one, and where a seat changes resolution
13-the-console.md The mesh's tools on the machine a person sits at, served by a module the mesh assigned there

What these documents are not

They are not a runbook. Operational procedure — how to fix one occurrence of something — lives in the knowledge base, which is indexed on symptoms and is the right place to search when something is broken.

They are not exhaustive. A subsystem is described to the depth at which its design is visible; below that is code.
