holds() for postgres, mssql, mongodb, minio, lavinmq, mosquitto, mailu
and gitea, so the harness makes again a login the backend lost (hq issue
120). Each checks the mesh's password as the consumer presents it, or
compares it read-only, and returns false only when the backend says the
credential is absent or wrong; an unreachable backend throws.
The 21 media/home modules, the SaaS tool modules (cloudflare-dns,
confluence, gitlab, jira), model-usage, and the model-access trio get
the same Dockerfile + build section as batch 1. Scheduled-only modules
(anthropic-consumer, anthropic-manager, openai-consumer) deliberately
declare no MESH_TOOL_MODULES — every container of theirs names its
command. mosquitto's run-once bootstrap container builds from the same
artifact. Modules with third-party deps (model-usage: pg;
anthropic-manager: tweetnacl) install them beside their compiled code.
Also fixes cloudflare-dns's package.json, unparseable since its
description lost a closing quote.
Deliberately still without build sections: builder and mesh-controller
(the foundation builds them by its own path), distribution (provides
the artifact store — building it through itself is refused by design),
route-proxy (cross-repo build context, deferred), and the
upstream-image-only modules, which have no code to build.
An identity is `mesh_<node>_<slug-or-name>` and a backend keeps 20 characters
(an S3 access key). Overflow makes a module unresolvable, and this catalogue
was finding it one module at a time, on a raise: route-proxy on novox is 22,
home-assistant on ace is 23. Two found by hand where a sweep would have found
eighteen.
So the whole catalogue was swept instead, against the longest node name the
mesh actually has (`shanks`, six characters) rather than against the node each
module happens to sit on today — a module is assigned somewhere, and where is
not a property of the manifest. That leaves eight characters for the identity
source, and eighteen modules were over it.
Slugs added, chosen to stay greppable in a provider's user list:
anthropic-consumer claude openai-consumer openai
anthropic-manager anthmgr portainer portain
audit-logger audit public-acme pubacme

cloudflare-dns cfdns resolv-conf resolv
confluence confl resolved-split-dns splitdns

A slug changes the login the mesh mints, so a module already provisioned under
its full name is re-minted under the slug and its old login withdrawn — which
is the provisioner's ordinary business, but it is a change, not a no-op.
Checked with the real parser: every one of the 66 manifests through
`catalogue.ParseManifest`, and every module's `CheckIdentity` against all four
node names. 0 problems, where the same check over the parent commit reports 44.
mosquitto_ctrl's dynsec subcommands exit 0 even when they fail — a
"Client not found", an "already exists", a "Connection error: Not
authorized", an "Unable to connect" all return status 0 and report the
failure only as a line of text (verified live against 2.0.11). ctl()
trusted the exit code, so clientExists()'s getClient probe never threw
and always returned true; createScopedClient therefore took the
setClientPassword branch, never ran createClient, and the consumer's
client never landed in the dynsec store — while the provisioner logged
it as provisioned. That is the assigned-catalogue-mqtt failure.
ctl() now scans the combined stdout/stderr for the tool's error markers
and raises a match as the failure it is. Surfacing those errors exposed
two calls that only "worked" by being swallowed: addRoleACL re-run
reports "already exists" (now ignored like createRole), and addClientRole
re-run reports a bare "Internal error" that cannot be told from a real
fault — so the binding is checked with clientHasRole and only added when
absent. Fresh provision, idempotent re-provision, password rotation, bad
admin auth and unreachable broker all verified against a live broker.

The Dynamic Security plugin refuses to start the broker unless
dynamic-security.json already holds an admin client, and no reconcile loop
seeds it (novox/hq ADR 0052). Add a run-once init container, declared before
the server container, that runs mosquitto's own bootstrap entrypoint in the
runtime image: it seeds the store offline via mosquitto_ctrl and exits, and
the host gates the broker on its completion.
The bootstrap hands the seeded file to the broker's user (uid 1883, chown +
0600): the broker must read the seed at startup AND persist to it as clients
come and go, but the init container runs as root and would otherwise leave a
file the broker can neither read nor rewrite. This is the ownership question
ADR 0052 left for the lab to settle. It seeds only when the file is absent, so
what the running plugin grows is never clobbered (issue 035).

Mirrors the proven catalog patterns field-for-field:
- lidarr -> the Servarr twin of radarr/sonarr (API v1, artist content); no
provisioner (it is a consumer app).
- mongodb -> postgres shape: mongodb-database provider, provisioner mints a
per-consumer db+user (ADR 0053), client shells to mongosh (no npm driver,
the psql convention).
- mssql -> postgres shape: mssql-database provider, sqlcmd client.
- mosquitto -> redis shape: mqtt-topic provider via the Dynamic Security
plugin, deliberately avoiding hal's password_file (that file is nox issue
011 exactly); provisioner mints a per-consumer MQTT client+role.
All four typecheck (strict, NodeNext) against the built @novox/mesh-sdk, and
their service images are digest-pinned to resolved registry digests. The
mesh-runtime-<mod> images keep the all-zeros placeholder the pipeline pins,
as postgres/redis do, and must bundle each module's CLI (mongosh/sqlcmd/
mosquitto_ctrl) as mesh-runtime-postgres bundles psql.
Not yet lab-verified: each module lists in-code what an integration test must
prove (auth model, provisioner reconcile, mosquitto dynsec bootstrap ordering).
