Resolves 04-ISSUES/036: eight media modules each declared the shared library and download directories as their own resources, and the resolver's duplicate-owner refusal — right in general — would refuse the stack's only sensible assignment the first time two landed on one node. The decision, from the operator: shared, pre-existing data is operator-owned and external. The mesh does not create, chown, reconcile or remove it. A module declares it needs access to such a path (read or read-write); the host mounts it and owns nothing. Several modules accessing one path is normal — the duplicate-path refusal is about ownership, not use. An accessed path absent at apply is refused clearly, not created. Extends ADR 0030: the third case the host had no word for, what it neither made nor configured and must not touch. Point 036's fixed-by/amended-design at the record; mark it located in mesh-control, mesh-catalog and mesh-host. Regenerate the decision index.

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.
