The review of 2026-10-09: an unknown account and sudo that could not be asked were answered not root, and
only NOPASSWD on ALL counted, though NOPASSWD on systemctl, tee, bash or pacman reaches root as surely,
and a password the person typed is kept by sudo for minutes. Any rule now counts, as the node-engine's
own judge of an agent account does (ADR 0266); what cannot be judged fails the answer. The bundle built
in the module's directory is removed and ignored.
Three modules' tools act through `sudo -n` and nothing declared that the
account may; each machine said so in a hand-set line in /etc/sudoers. The
module owns the package and /etc/sudoers.d/10-mesh-operator (0440), checked
by visudo in its manifest test, and serves sudo_rules, sudo_check and
sudo_drop_ins from a Go bundle. lab stops declaring the sudo package, which
would collide with this module on the node that runs both (hq ADR 0207,
to-be 42 Phase 1).
