A password typed into an entry by mistake, in another scheme or split by a
space or a comma, was quoted back in the problem and so reached the status
and the health answer. An entry is now named by its source's name or its
position only; a user with a control character or a second @ is refused
(review of mesh-catalog#190, issue 386).
The live module check refused smb-users: a key naming a user is the
operator's value and may have no default, and a setting without one would
refuse to compose mounts on every node until set. The username now goes in
the source's URL (smb://<user>@<host>/<share>), percent-decoded; a
password there is refused unsaid, and a source without a user waits for
sources (hq ADR 0283, issue 386).
mesh/merge-gate fail: builds mounts → shanks; no bus step; a manifest the change touches fails the module check: modules/mounts/module.json: this manifest …
A configuration without the passwords directory would have read a path
relative to the process's working directory; it is now refused as a fault.

The one INI secret smb-credentials could not be given through the desk
prompt, which takes one hidden line, and a missing login was said as a
fault: the first-node gate put the build back and the operator was told
nothing was theirs to do. The username is now the setting smb-users and
each password the one-line secret smb-password-<source>; a source missing
either answers waits through mesh-sdk's health answer (hq ADR 0283,
issue 386, issue 379).
The secret smb-credentials was an INI file alone, which the desk's one-line
prompt (secret ask, hq ADR 0277) cannot type: on the desktop the Pi's source
said "line 1 is not key=value inside a [section]". A login is now also one line,
`[recalbox] username=root password=…`, password last and to the end of the
line so it may hold spaces and `=`; the file form still reads, and a file may
mix both. A line the module cannot read is refused with the form it expected,
never with what was typed, and a login without a username is not answered. The
source's "login is not given" says the desk verb and the line to type.
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds new: modules/mounts, modules/nfs-server, sent nowhere; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (…
A machine mounts what its assignment names: a node's share from the
provision nfs-share, whose path it reads from nfs-server's state on the
bus, and occasional sources (an SMB device, a disk) whose absence is a
state, not a fault. apply writes and arms the unit pairs as root; watch
tries each source and judges the health; the operator's fstab lines are
taken over only through adopt, on their word, once the replacement is
armed. SMB logins are an outside party's secret, given with secret accept.
