The code that turns a repository into artifacts already existed and is deliberately
something a machine runs as an ordinary module rather than something the control
plane does. There was no module for it, so it could never be placed and never ran —
which is why nothing in the catalogue could be produced.
It asks for a container runtime because it builds images, requires the artifact
store because it publishes into it, and claims one per machine. Its credential
folder is mounted rather than the file, since a file mount keeps pointing at the
old contents after the mesh writes new ones.
The store is reached on the machine's own loopback: the address in a binding is
where a machine sits on the private network, and the store has to be co-located
anyway because runtimes refuse a plain-HTTP registry anywhere else.
