The controller refused the manifest: config.operators declared type "array" (not one of the controller's
five types, novox/hq ADR 0348 §4 — the word is "list"), and the bundle's env word MESH_MAIL_WEB_LISTEN said
${port:web} (a bundle's word takes the port NUMBER a listens entry gives, novox/hq ADR 0192; mesh-controller
internal/catalogue/port_into.go portsFilledInto matches it against listens[].Port, never an endpoint's
label). Fixed to type "list" and ${port:8099} (the listens entry's own port). main.go and the integration
harness already read/write a plain port number, so neither needed a change. manifest_test.go now asserts
both: config.operators.Type == "list", and the listen word equals ${port:<the listens entry's port>};
confirmed each independently fails against the old values before this fix.
