Every directory and archive resource carries `unknown`: move-out for a home folder whose program writes nothing there (the node-engine, delivered in mesh-host #117, moves the rest to ~/.local/state/mesh-moved/<module>/ with a list), module for ~/.ssh and ~/.claude, program elsewhere; `knows` keeps what a program or the operator relies on (powerlevel10k's compiled files, i3's scripts and the asus/g14 drop-ins, dunst's slack rule, betterbird's records, node-env's forge credential, issue 1033). Two shared folders are no longer declared. Each module's README says it. checks/owned holds every manifest to it; checks/sshdir stays while main's merge check runs it (issue 1035). Tests that pin a manifest follow the new key only. Reviewed in three rounds.
None declares a tools list, so the composer had nothing saying the runtime loads from the bundle,
and delivered it nowhere: built, recorded, never sent. loads names tools/index.js.
baserow, confluence, gitlab, jira, letta, searxng and unifi: each runtime container's
environment becomes its tools bundle's env, mount targets folded back into the host paths they
came from; baserow and letta reach their service on the published port rather than a container
network name. The container, base images, Dockerfile and the module's own bus credential go,
and the state directory where only that credential lived. Tool code is unchanged: every client
is built from the environment the contributor is handed.
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).
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.
Port the HAL gitlab module (whose tools lived in @hal/sdk) into a
self-contained mesh-catalog module modelled on cloudflare-dns: the GitLab
API client and all its tools live in the module (ADR 0039), served through
mesh-sdk's registerModuleTools harness.
Tools-only, outbound-only external-SaaS shape: a runtime-only container on
network:host, no service, no listener, no provisioner. The token is an
own-secret; GITLAB_URL is a public setting in a merge:json config file.
The client is built lazily and never throws at registration, so the runtime
comes up and serves all 23 tools even with no valid token (the Servarr
lesson) — it only fails when a tool is actually invoked unconfigured.
Ported 23 tools: projects (list, get), merge requests (list, get, create,
approve, add note), pipelines (list, get, retry, cancel, list jobs, job log),
and project + group CI/CD variables (list, get, create, update, delete each).
