The service manager's package was declared by the networking module, so the
module that is systemd could not own it and had to leave it out. networkd is a
component of systemd: its module configures it. Removing the package resource
from systemd-networkd uninstalls nothing — the host never removes a package
that is not declared absent.
The node tools runtime runs as the operator account, not root, and gives its bundles no
session words (novox/hq ADR 0175, 0188, 0193). So, per hq to-be 41 WP4:
- system-scope start/stop/restart/enable/disable go through sudo -n when not root, as the
packet filter and intrusion prevention do, and a refusal is named by how it failed;
- user scope is plain --user with XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and the session bus of /run/user/<uid>;
the dead --machine branches are gone;
- a failed systemctl or journalctl is an error, and an unreachable user manager is said
even when systemctl exits 0; systemd_failed reports it beside the other manager's answer
instead of claiming nothing failed;
- status says whether the mesh declares the unit: its loaded unit file begins with the
header the host writes for a module's process. Only such a unit carries the restore note;
- the package resource goes: the service manager is always present, and it collided with
systemd-networkd's identical declaration;
- calls are bounded below the runtime's call limit, a unit name is never an option, and
the runner is injected so the tests use a fake one.
