The six modules that run a mesh-<mod> tool-runtime sidecar read an app
credential from an env var the manifest never provided, so the sidecar
crash-looped in the whole-mesh dry-run (e.g. "no Plex token — set
MESH_PLEX_TOKEN"). These are operator-set app secrets, so deliver them the
same way cloudflare-dns delivers its API token: an own-secret file mounted
read-only, with a MESH_<APP>_*_FILE env pointing at the mount, and the
runtime code preferring that file (falling back to the existing env so
nothing regresses).
- plex: own-secret token -> /run/secrets/token, MESH_PLEX_TOKEN_FILE
- bazarr: own-secret api-key -> /run/secrets/api-key, MESH_BAZARR_API_KEY_FILE
- ombi: own-secret api-key -> /run/secrets/api-key, MESH_OMBI_API_KEY_FILE
- home-assistant: own-secret token -> /run/secrets/token, MESH_HOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN_FILE
- nzbget: own-secret password -> /run/secrets/password, MESH_NZBGET_PASSWORD_FILE (URL stays plain env)
- qbittorrent: own-secret password -> /run/secrets/password, MESH_QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD_FILE (URL stays plain env)
The operator now completes each with `secret accept <node> <module> <name> --from <file>`.
tsc passes for all six.
04-ISSUES/036: eight media modules each declared the shared library and
download directories under /services/media/* as their own `directory`
resources. Six of them owning one path is the collision the resolver
refuses — so the stack's only sensible assignment, all on one machine
sharing one filesystem, would be refused the first time two landed
together.
The media library is the operator's, owned by no module (novox/hq
ADR 0051). Move every /services/media/* path from an owned `directory`
resource to an `accesses` entry: the mesh mounts it and owns nothing —
does not create, chown, reconcile or remove it — and several modules may
access one path with no conflict. Each module's own config and mesh-state
directories stay owned resources.
Modes are least-privilege: plex reads the libraries it streams; the
managers and download clients get read-write on what they import and
write; bazarr writes subtitles into the libraries (read-write) and only
reads the download spool. The container volume mounts are unchanged.

plex gains a broker-bound tools/events runtime container (mesh-runtime-plex)
alongside its server, and a never-throwing plex_reachable health probe. redis and
postgres subscribe to their own lifecycle events in index.ts but declared no
consumes — so the substrate never made the queue the runtime binds and it crashed
on start (404). Declare the consume, as ADR 0046 requires. Proven end-to-end in the
mesh-lab: assigned-plex and assigned-redis both green.

The review found broker own-secret paths drifting: mostly /var/lib/<module>/
broker, but grafana/redis/icecast/nextcloud carried a '-module' suffix to dodge
a collision with the service's own /var/lib/<name> data, and photos sat under
/etc. Normalized to one collision-free namespace a service never owns:
/var/lib/mesh/<module>/broker, with a mesh-state directory resource for the
parent, across 24 modules. audit-logger is grandfathered (lab-proven, referenced
by the assigned test, and it has no service to collide with). All 33 manifests
parse; no client hardcoded a path, so nothing in code moved.

Moves plex's API client and tools out of the shared hal sdk into the module,
so a Plex API change rebuilds only plex. Tools: status, search, sessions,
recently-added, refresh. And a real event design: it emits playback
started/stopped and item.added by watching the server, and consumes
module.*.download.completed to rescan so a downloader's fetch becomes a
visible item. Typechecks against the sdk; manifest parses with its emits/
consumes and broker own-secret.

Each module becomes modules/<name>/ holding module.json, with room for
the rest of what a module is — its tools, health checks, provisioning,
lifecycle — which the conversion from hal still has to bring across.
The flat <name>.json was only the resource-declaration half.
