Every module named its events the way the old bus spelled a routing key —
`module.<module>.<verb>`. Design 29 says a module names an event locally and the
mesh works out where it lands, so all 37 were stale against a rule already
decided. On the new bus that derives into a namespace belonging to a module
called "module", so no cross-module subscription in the mesh matched anything:
nothing failed, nothing reacted (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/127).
36 manifests converted, and 43 files of module code with them. The code mattered
as much as the manifests: the runtime builds the subject from what `emit()` is
handed, so a converted manifest with unconverted code would have had the
permission and the subject disagree.
Three things the new check found on the way:
- `photos` emitted an event its manifest never declared, which the new bus refuses
outright. Declared.
- `showcase` waited for an event nothing emits, so its demo could never be
triggered — only `showcase` may publish under its own name. It emits both halves
now.
- `distribution` declared an event named after a different module. It emits
`image.pushed` under its own name. An event about a *role* belongs on the seat,
where the name outlives whoever holds it, but the sdk has no way to publish on a
seat yet, so that stays recorded rather than declared.
The audit logger's "everything" pattern is `**` rather than the old bus's `#`.
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.
Piece A + B of ADR 0056, completing the internal-CA work in ff01ada.
Selectable issuer. acme-ca is now a role two providers can satisfy: step-ca
(internal CA) or the new public-acme (a fact-only module, no container/listen)
that serves Let's Encrypt production. A mesh assigns one or the other to satisfy
route-proxy's `requires: acme-ca`.
One directory shape for both. A provider serves the ACME directory's parts the
way the mesh already models any reachable service -- an address (`at`), a `port`
and a `path` -- and route-proxy composes `https://<at>:<port><path>`. step-ca
lets the mesh fill `at` (its node) and `port` (its single listen) and serves only
`path`; public-acme, not being a mesh service, serves all three (overriding `at`
with the public host). Same composition either way.
Empty root means the system trust store. Both providers serve `root`: step-ca
the operator root PEM (settled per mesh), public-acme an empty string. route-proxy
writes it to the CA bundle file unconditionally; the binary now reads an empty
bundle as "the root is already trusted by the OS" and falls back to system roots
(examples/route-proxy/main.go, committed on the mesh-control ADR-0056 branch).
step-ca inits from the operator's root. The operator's root cert, root key and
root-key password are mounted at the smallstep entrypoint's default init paths
(/run/secrets/root_ca.crt, root_ca_key, root_ca_key_password) with the matching
DOCKER_STEPCA_INIT_*_FILE vars, so `step ca init` adopts the operator's root
instead of self-generating one -- the CA that signs is the CA route-proxy trusts.
Route names are labels, not FQDNs. Every routed module now contributes a `label`
(the leftmost subdomain) instead of a full public hostname; the node's public
domain composes the name. Apex (novox.be) is left as a full name -- composeName
has no empty-label/apex convention yet (mesh-control follow-up).

Add a `route` contribution (requires/contributes/binds) to every web app so
each gets a Host-routed public name via route-proxy, mirroring the
de-spiegel/only-office pattern:
- novox: gitea, keycloak, nextcloud, umami, invoicing, verdaccio, registry,
and mailu (single mail.novox.be -> 7080; admin/webmail/api ride that port).
- ace: grafana, sonarr, radarr, lidarr, bazarr, ombi, tautulli, jackett,
nodered, searxng, home-assistant, bookshelf, baserow.
Split photos so its three sites each get a name: photos keeps server +
admin-client (photos.novox.be), and new photos-eef (eef.novox.be) and
photos-filip (filip.novox.be) modules carry the client sites.
The production FQDN stays the literal default; a per-node .incus name is a
settings override applied where the mesh runs, not a manifest hardcoding.

The radarr/sonarr/lidarr/bookshelf events entrypoints built their client
with XClient.fromEnv() at import time, which throws when no API key/URL is
available yet — crash-looping the runtime container. The tools already
guard this; the events entrypoint did not.
Mirror the tools' guard: build the client in a try/catch, and only start
the poll loop when it succeeds. When it fails, log one line and stay idle
until a key is available. Behaviour when configured is unchanged.

04-ISSUES/036: eight media modules each declared the shared library and
download directories under /services/media/* as their own `directory`
resources. Six of them owning one path is the collision the resolver
refuses — so the stack's only sensible assignment, all on one machine
sharing one filesystem, would be refused the first time two landed
together.
The media library is the operator's, owned by no module (novox/hq
ADR 0051). Move every /services/media/* path from an owned `directory`
resource to an `accesses` entry: the mesh mounts it and owns nothing —
does not create, chown, reconcile or remove it — and several modules may
access one path with no conflict. Each module's own config and mesh-state
directories stay owned resources.
Modes are least-privilege: plex reads the libraries it streams; the
managers and download clients get read-write on what they import and
write; bazarr writes subtitles into the libraries (read-write) and only
reads the download spool. The container volume mounts are unchanged.

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).
