CAT-N1: the bus module's keeper, its own events stream, state and the seat's reading verbs in the manifest

The keeper is a process of the tools bundle on its own account (own secret
broker-keeper, ADR 0436 §1): it hears the indexer's manifest-accepted, keeps
what it heard in its old state asked and the persons' requests in requests
(ADR 0595 §10), and says its nine events on its own stream broker-events,
30 days at 256 MiB (design 25 § 12.3, ADR 0620 §2). mesh-broker serves its
four reading verbs; its acting verbs are the keeper's own work. The server
gains a tcp check, which the keeper's tool check stands beside.
