The module is one Go binary the runtime launches: the renderer (its
instruction file held byte for byte to the TypeScript one it replaces),
the credentials and identity files, the licence flow of ADR 0206 and the
MCP servers in state. Keeps the TypeScript module's key files, so a node
moving to it keeps its key. The npm package, its tests and its build go.
Both binaries were run together under the real runtime on a test bus with
postgres and a stub vendor: a login was adopted by one exchange, the node
bound and handed an access token, its file left with no refresh token, and
no token in either state.
claude-licence-manager holds the anthropic-licence-manager seat: it reads
every node's holdings state, adopts a login it does not hold by refreshing
it (newest first, once per account), keeps each grant alive under a lease,
publishes what each consumer should hold as its bindings state with a
generation, and answers current sealed to the consumer's key. Postgres
store prepared by a run-once step; grants encrypted with the vault's key.
claude-code reports what its node holds (fingerprints and account, never a
token), hands its grant over only when the manager asks, watches its
binding and fetches the token on a newer generation, and writes
access-token-only. Its ask now reads the runtime's answer as a value and
addresses seats as seats.
