Subject: [PATCH] The artifact store requires nothing, because at genesis there
 is nothing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A route-label migration gave the registry a public name, and with it a
requirement. But the registry is the first module a new mesh installs: at that
moment nothing provides a route, so the push is refused and a mesh cannot get
its own image store — the cycle 04-ISSUES/029 closed, re-entered through a
different door.

The same rule that record states applies: a module providing the artifact store
cannot depend on what the store is needed to deliver. A public name for it is an
ordinary want and belongs to a module beside it, installed once there is a mesh
to install things.
