server is now the container the foundation raised — same name (mesh-store),
same env (POSTGRES_PASSWORD/PGDATA), ports (127.0.0.1:5432:5432), volume
(mesh-store-data) and the same pinned upstream postgres image the foundation
runs — so the applier adopts it in place rather than raising a second postgres.
The provisioner is host-networked to reach the loopback store at 127.0.0.1:5432.
The module's own network and bind-mounted data dir are gone; there is one
postgres now, holding the controller's contexts and every module's database.
Issue 051 (WBS 3.1).

Each named a digest produced inside a lab that no longer exists, so none of them
could be built anywhere else. They say which module they stand on now, and there
is deliberately no default — a build nobody told stops at the declaration rather
than at a reference that resolves to nothing.
A line in postgres's recipe and a one-line file in amqp-ping, both added to
move a commit and watch the mesh notice. The proofs worked; neither was meant
to stay. MESH_MODULE is set from the sealed credential at run time anyway, so
baking it in was dead weight as well as noise.
The base was a digest typed in by hand, for an image nothing in the mesh could
produce — so the graph held edges pointing at it with no version on the far end,
and the one change that reaches every module at once could never be noticed.
It is a module now, and these edges resolve.
Its provisioner container named an image nobody could produce — a zero digest
placeholder. It names an artifact instead, and the module says how to build it,
so the mesh can make the database provider the catalogue needs.
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.

Each provider's separate provisioner container becomes a runtime container that
serves the module's tools and runs its provisioner under the module's scoped broker
account: mesh-runtime-<module>, on the backend's own network (reaching the backend
by name and the broker by NAT), with MESH_BROKER_FILE + MESH_RECEIVES replacing
GRANTS. umami gains the broker own-secret it lacked. cloudflare-dns's adapter is
re-pointed at the ADR 0053 contract (a data provision, like umami — its record
return is the scoped-out concern).
Proven: provider-on-backend-network green — redis's runtime, on the private redis
network, binds the broker and provisions a consumer with the mesh's credential.

redis, postgres and minio adapters drop generatePassword + the returned credential:
each creates the resource under the login the mesh derived (`as`) with the password
the mesh minted (`p.password`). minio's client gains a secret-key argument so it sets
the mesh's secret rather than generating one. umami (analytics) is re-pointed at the
new contract too; its siteId return is a data-provision concern ADR 0053 scopes out.
Proven: mesh-lab provider-uses-mesh-credential green — redis creates the consumer's
login with the mesh's password, the consumer authenticates (PONG), no seal key set.

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.

redis provides redis-cache: a real admin client speaking RESP over a raw socket
(node:net, no deps); provisioner makes a keyspace-scoped ACL user per grant.
postgres provides postgres-database: admin client executing through psql (the
consistent shell-out port, like minio's mc), full DDL for create/drop database+
role, a CSV row parser, read-only query tool. Both emit
module.<x>.<thing>.provisioned/.deprovisioned from the provisioner. Both
typecheck; manifests parse.
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.
