A floor every implementation needs and three capabilities independent of each other, so an SDK can implement the floor and events and be a real thing rather than an unfinished one. Written as a specification, which means it says what is required rather than how anything is arranged — and says plainly where it describes behaviour that is not yet true. Three places it does: x-causation-id and x-schema are specified and emitted by nothing; the Go side writes four headers and the TypeScript side declares six. A module may serve tools and may not call them, because a caller needs a reply queue its account may not declare. And the two implementations disagree about what a grant carries — in TypeScript consumer is the module, in Go it is the node and the module is From. One word, two meanings, in two halves of one mesh. Naming those in the specification rather than leaving them for conformance to discover, because a specification that only described what already works would have nothing to say about the things most likely to break.

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 ADR 0009 is superseded by ADR 0009: there is no domain module to group into, so there is no domain list to settle.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.
