The conversion's detail is operational and names machines, so it lives in the mesh's knowledge base rather than in this repository: `migration/where-service-data-lives` for where every service's data actually sits, and `troubleshooting/db-password-frozen-at-first-init` for the lockout. This document says the rule; those say the specifics. The lockout is the finding worth carrying here, because it is worse than the one this plan was already guarding against and it is likelier. A database image consumes its password variable only when its data directory is empty. Everything keeps data on a persistent directory, so the role holds whatever password it was created with for ever; regenerate the variable and the application moves on while the database does not, permanently, because nothing reconciles it. Eight modules are in that state today and work only because nobody has regenerated their credential since their data directory was created. It was already documented in the knowledge base and my survey had missed it — found by searching, which is the argument for the knowledge base existing.
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.

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 ADR 0009 is superseded by ADR 0009: there is no domain module to group into, so there is no domain list to settle.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