Seats have been doing two jobs and neither is written down. The mechanism ADR 0009 introduced is enforced — a second holder is refused — but any well-formed name becomes a seat by being claimed, and nothing can say which seats a mesh has or who holds them: holdings are assembled while planning and discarded. The enumeration done while preparing this missed the control plane's own manifest, because core modules' manifests live in its repository rather than the catalogue. 0110 closes the set. Each seat has a name, a scope, what occupying it delivers, and the record that made it one; a claim outside the set is refused. A seat is held by a module assignment, and what the mesh knows about the holder is what it knows about that assignment — nothing is stored beside it. A seat may deliver a provision, and then its holder answers for it among several providers: pin, then the holder, then the only provider, then refused. That keeps 0009's "refused, never guessed": the seat is the choice made once, mesh-wide, instead of a pin per consumer node. The first set is the eleven seats already claimed plus 0109's npm-package-registry, so nothing in use is refused. Two concepts — seats for exclusion, a new word for consumable singulars — was rejected: both mean "this mesh's one X", and the overview a person wants is one list. 0111 gives the mesh a git seat and makes a build source one of two explicit forms: a repository on the seat's holder, recorded by its path and cloned from wherever the holder runs at build time; or an external URL, recorded and cloned exactly as given. Recognising self-hosted sources by matching URLs against the forge's address was rejected — it fails in the one case it exists for, after the forge moves. Credentials for private repositories are left undecided and said so. Design: new to-be 26 (the seats); 23 gains the seat step in resolution; 18's source entry names the two forms; the glossary's seat and provision entries say where they meet. 0109 is carried from its own branch so every link here resolves.
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.
