// Node-RED's MQTT broker config node, pointed at the broker the mesh bound — `mqtt-topic`.
//
// **Why a step.** Node-RED keeps a broker as a config node in its flows (`flows.json`) and the login
// and password in its encrypted credentials file, both of them Node-RED's to write. So this reads the
// binding and the pair credential and makes the broker node say the same thing through Node-RED's
// admin API — `GET /flows`, then `POST /flows` with the changed node and its `credentials`, deployed
// as "nodes" so only what changed restarts — with the module's own `api-token`.
//
// **Which broker nodes are the mesh's.** Never guessed: a flow may talk to a broker that has nothing
// to do with this mesh. The step owns the node it creates itself (id `mesh-mqtt-topic`, "mesh:
// mqtt-topic") and the ones an assignment names in settings (`mqtt.brokers`: node ids — how ace's
// existing broker node, which every one of its MQTT flows uses, is handed over). With none named and
// none made yet, it makes one, so a fresh Node-RED has a broker the flows can pick.
//
// **Only the connection, and only when it differs.** Host, port, TLS off (the broker serves plain
// MQTT), login, password. Every other field of the node — client id, keepalive, birth/close/will
// messages — is left as it is. Node-RED never hands a stored password back, so the step keeps a
// digest of what it last wrote: equal host/port/login and an equal digest is "already as the mesh
// says".
//
// **Nothing loses its connection without someone seeing it.** The broker is asked first whether it
// takes the delivered login; if not, nothing is written and the step fails saying why.
//
// Pure logic over two seams (Node-RED, the broker), tested against fakes (test/mqtt.test.ts).
