jschoubben fc4ab370d6 Graduate issues 067 and 068 to decisions and to-be designs
ADR 0084 (extends 0027) — a provision is served by a node-scoped provider the
consumer selects, defaulting to co-location; a module may instead carry a private
embedded instance that is not a provision. Design: 01-to-be/23-choosing-a-provider.

ADR 0085 (extends 0031) — a secret is a provision and the vault is the module that
provides it; a module's own local secret becomes an ordinary pair credential that
rotates through the existing machinery, while the controller's provisioning-credential
mint (0048) is unchanged. Design: 01-to-be/24-the-secrets-vault; doc 13 amended to
cross-link the non-pair secret.

Issues 067/068 marked resolved with amended-design set. ADR index regenerated;
records and index checks pass.

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.

Structure

NNN-short-name/
  00-report.md      the symptom as observed, with the evidence; status in frontmatter
  01-diagnosis.md   the investigation trail, dated, including what was ruled out

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.
  • wontfix is legitimate and requires a sentence saying why.
