Both containers go with the Dockerfile, build bases, bus credential and state directory. apply needs no bus and runs every five minutes as a process on the machine at the host paths the container mounted. usage emitted by spawning the runtime image's own emit command with the module's credential, which exists nowhere now, so it is loaded by the node's runtime instead: it emits through the SDK as this module and reads on the cadence the schedule gave it, once at start and every five minutes. That is the one code change.
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).
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.
An identity is `mesh_<node>_<slug-or-name>` and a backend keeps 20 characters
(an S3 access key). Overflow makes a module unresolvable, and this catalogue
was finding it one module at a time, on a raise: route-proxy on novox is 22,
home-assistant on ace is 23. Two found by hand where a sweep would have found
eighteen.
So the whole catalogue was swept instead, against the longest node name the
mesh actually has (`shanks`, six characters) rather than against the node each
module happens to sit on today — a module is assigned somewhere, and where is
not a property of the manifest. That leaves eight characters for the identity
source, and eighteen modules were over it.
Slugs added, chosen to stay greppable in a provider's user list:
anthropic-consumer claude openai-consumer openai
anthropic-manager anthmgr portainer portain
audit-logger audit public-acme pubacme
bookshelf books qbittorrent qbt
cloudflare-dns cfdns resolv-conf resolv
confluence confl resolved-split-dns splitdns
home-assistant hass route-proxy rproxy
invoicing invoice verdaccio verdacc
mosquitto mosq
nextcloud ncloud
A slug changes the login the mesh mints, so a module already provisioned under
its full name is re-minted under the slug and its old login withdrawn — which
is the provisioner's ordinary business, but it is a change, not a no-op.
Checked with the real parser: every one of the 66 manifests through
`catalogue.ParseManifest`, and every module's `CheckIdentity` against all four
node names. 0 problems, where the same check over the parent commit reports 44.
The home ADR 0050 left open for a usage reading. mesh-control is a CLI and
cannot consume events, so the store that keeps the current usage picture is a
MODULE — the audit-logger's sibling: it consumes `module.*.usage.*` and upserts
each reading into its own provisioned postgres store, latest per
(licence, consumer, period, metric), in the clear. One vendor-neutral table
holds BOTH grains; they differ only in `consumer` (the holding module for the
licence grain, the session for the finer one). The consumer creates its table
on startup and, as a restart-until-ready service, self-heals rather than
gating the apply on a run-once that must reach a provider over the overlay.
The vendor->row normalisation moves into the adapter, as ADR 0054 requires:
anthropic-manager (licence grain, utilization%) and anthropic-consumer (session
grain, token/cost) now emit already-normalised { rows: UsageRow[], raw } on
their existing keys, so the store stays vendor-blind.
Proven end to end by the mesh-lab model-usage bed (green): a usage event
emitted into the mesh is upserted at both grains, latest-per-key, in the clear.

Phase C of vendor-agnostic model-access (ADR 0050/0054). Two TypeScript
runtime modules:
- anthropic-manager: the refresh token is sealed at rest to the manager
node's own key (atrest.ts, envelope encryption over X25519) and opened
ONLY on the manager node. adopt seals the first envelope; refresh opens
it, calls the Anthropic OAuth token endpoint, re-seals a rotated refresh
token, and hands the control plane only the access token plus the opaque
envelope. Also polls licence-grain usage (ADR 0054).
- anthropic-consumer: writes the delivered access token to
~/.claude/.credentials.json, access-token-only, atomically (the refresh
token is never delivered); reports session-grain usage from the CLI
transcripts; a fail-closed identity guard (expected-uuid plumbing is a
flagged TODO).
Both run as scheduled containers (ADR 0053). Pure logic covered by
node --test fixtures (at-rest round-trip, credential strip, transcript
sum, refresh merge).
