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.
Nineteen modules gain a broker-bound runtime container that serves the module's
tools under its own scoped account: bazarr, gitea, grafana, home-assistant,
icecast, influxdb, jackett, keycloak, mailu, nextcloud, nodered, nzbget, ombi,
photos, portainer, qbittorrent, searxng, tautulli, verdaccio.
Config is the assignment's, not the manifest's (ADR 0051): each client's fromEnv
overlays a settings-merged config file (MESH_<M>_CONFIG_FILE) over its env
fallbacks, so URL and credentials come from `settings set`, with the URL defaulting
to the server on the node. nextcloud and mailu also mount the docker socket for
their exec-based tools.
Proven in the mesh-lab: assigned-grafana green — settings deliver the URL and token,
the runtime reads the merged config and serves grafana's tools under the scoped
account, with nothing in the manifest. Two gaps this surfaced are filed as hq
issues 008 (a provider runtime's seal key) and 009 (a settings change does not
restart a container runtime).

home-assistant: states/call-service/config tools, emits state.changed bounded
to actuator/contact domains (not attribute ticks), overridable via a watch
allowlist. influxdb: health/buckets/flux-query tools — tools-only, since a
time-series DB has no lifecycle event to emit here. Typecheck; manifests parse.
