ADR 0086. mesh-controller mounts its six own secrets and names them with
_FILE twins, so no credential of its own reaches its environment. The 35
containers that still read a secret through an env-file carry
secrets-in-environment with the reason; converting each where its software
accepts a path is the per-module work of issue 041.
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.
Piece A + B of ADR 0056, completing the internal-CA work in ff01ada.
Selectable issuer. acme-ca is now a role two providers can satisfy: step-ca
(internal CA) or the new public-acme (a fact-only module, no container/listen)
that serves Let's Encrypt production. A mesh assigns one or the other to satisfy
route-proxy's `requires: acme-ca`.
One directory shape for both. A provider serves the ACME directory's parts the
way the mesh already models any reachable service -- an address (`at`), a `port`
and a `path` -- and route-proxy composes `https://<at>:<port><path>`. step-ca
lets the mesh fill `at` (its node) and `port` (its single listen) and serves only
`path`; public-acme, not being a mesh service, serves all three (overriding `at`
with the public host). Same composition either way.
Empty root means the system trust store. Both providers serve `root`: step-ca
the operator root PEM (settled per mesh), public-acme an empty string. route-proxy
writes it to the CA bundle file unconditionally; the binary now reads an empty
bundle as "the root is already trusted by the OS" and falls back to system roots
(examples/route-proxy/main.go, committed on the mesh-control ADR-0056 branch).
step-ca inits from the operator's root. The operator's root cert, root key and
root-key password are mounted at the smallstep entrypoint's default init paths
(/run/secrets/root_ca.crt, root_ca_key, root_ca_key_password) with the matching
DOCKER_STEPCA_INIT_*_FILE vars, so `step ca init` adopts the operator's root
instead of self-generating one -- the CA that signs is the CA route-proxy trusts.
Route names are labels, not FQDNs. Every routed module now contributes a `label`
(the leftmost subdomain) instead of a full public hostname; the node's public
domain composes the name. Apex (novox.be) is left as a full name -- composeName
has no empty-label/apex convention yet (mesh-control follow-up).

Add a `route` contribution (requires/contributes/binds) to every web app so
each gets a Host-routed public name via route-proxy, mirroring the
de-spiegel/only-office pattern:
- novox: gitea, keycloak, nextcloud, umami, invoicing, verdaccio, registry,
and mailu (single mail.novox.be -> 7080; admin/webmail/api ride that port).
- ace: grafana, sonarr, radarr, lidarr, bazarr, ombi, tautulli, jackett,
nodered, searxng, home-assistant, bookshelf, baserow.
Split photos so its three sites each get a name: photos keeps server +
admin-client (photos.novox.be), and new photos-eef (eef.novox.be) and
photos-filip (filip.novox.be) modules carry the client sites.
The production FQDN stays the literal default; a per-node .incus name is a
settings override applied where the mesh runs, not a manifest hardcoding.

The postgres provisioner creates each consumer a database named after the login the mesh
minted (mesh_<node>_<module>), per ADR 0048 -- 'a same-named database under exactly that
login'. But baserow, letta, umami, gitea, keycloak and nextcloud each hardcoded their app db
name (DATABASE_NAME=baserow, /letta, /umami, NAME=gitea, /keycloak, POSTGRES_DB=nextcloud),
so the service connected to a database that does not exist ('database letta does not exist').
Each now uses ${bound:postgres-database:as} as the db name -- the login, which is also the db
name -- matching the working meshboard pattern and the provisioner's actual behaviour.
Found by the two-node DB-consumer lab install (mesh-lab assigned-two-node-db); baserow is
proven connecting and running there. The S3 bucket name is the same class of assumption and is
a separate follow-up (s3 identity has its own length bound).

The breadth install (catalogue-broad) surfaced two latent resolution bugs that
single-module compile checks never caught (compile != resolve):
1. postgres/redis/mongodb/minio served no "port", yet seven consumers
(baserow, letta, invoicing, gitea, umami, keycloak, nextcloud) reference
${bound:<provision>:port}. A binding auto-carries at/from/as; the port is the
provider's half of the answer and must be declared in `serves` (manifest.go:
"Serves is what a consumer needs to know ... a port, a path, a realm"). Added
port to each: postgres 5432, redis 6379, mongodb 27017, minio 9000. Without it
no DB consumer could resolve, let alone deploy.
2. baserow declared an empty contribution `contributes: {"redis-cache": {}}`.
redis's serves spec for the cache is empty (a cache takes no per-consumer
payload), so a consumer only `requires` it; an empty contribution is refused.
Dropped it (requires/binds/secrets unchanged).
Found by mesh-lab catalogue-broad; the same fixes are mirrored in that bed.

Mirror the postgres-consumer shape (keycloak/nextcloud): requires the
backing service(s), binds/secrets for the delivered credential, and a
server container that reads it from an interpolated env file.
- baserow: consumes postgres-database + redis-cache; tooled (dormant
until an account is configured, like gitea's token).
- letta: consumes postgres-database; tooled, live via a mesh-minted
server-password injected into both server and runtime.
- invoicing: consumes mongodb-database + s3-bucket; plain two-container
service (app + api), no tools.
Digests pinned for baserow and letta; invoicing keeps private-registry
tags (DIGEST-UNRESOLVED). redis-cache and mongodb-database consumer
shapes are inferred (no prior consumer in the catalog).
