48 definitions stop naming /var/lib/mesh/<module>: the directory says `place: "mesh"`, the two
subdirectories beneath it (gitea's runtime state, anthropic-manager's output) state their path
beneath it, and every credential, binding, merged file and mount names it as ${dir:mesh-state}.
Resolved on the default root, every definition names exactly the paths it named before —
TestPlacedDirectoriesKeepTheirPaths in mesh-controller, run over both checkouts. Needs the
controller that knows the word (mesh-controller, same branch) one release ahead.
Twenty-eight modules' data directories are placed: the root as place ".", a sub-directory named by
its id, and every host-side reference — binds, secrets, own secrets, grants, receives, file paths,
mounts, env-files — as ${dir:<id>}. Resolved on the default root every path is the one the manifest
named before, which the controller's TestPlacedDirectoriesKeepTheirPaths proves over both checkouts;
so no data moves and no machine sees a change. Five directories whose id is not their last segment
keep their path as a placement (novox/hq issue 119, ADR 0112, design 27).
A module keeping a checkout of a repository of decisions, designs and issues from the git seat,
current on every announced merge and on a timer, answering records_search / records_read /
records_list / records_status / records_sync at the commit it read (novox/hq ADR 0025, ADR 0153).
The repository is a setting; it names no mesh.
