Review round 3 (issue 1954): the node-engine of today writes ${secret:} as given and the new one fills only
provision keys, so the client fills secrets this release; plans exist only for modules with a want, so a
module without a seat plan is read from the controller's assignment and never leaves for want of one, and
the holder composes held modules at the build they run; the SDK's provider lets go only on "yes".
After a restart the forge-account provider returned a plain error, which the helper writes as failed
with its values cleared, so every consumer lost its forge entry until the keys loaded. provider.ErrNotReady
keeps the entry serving, in waits (issue 1954).
A provider declaring bound is judged by its entries, any other by its own have, and only once every provision it depends on, its secret-<provision> first, is provided. The credential is the vault's own provision. One integration test runs the holder on a real bus over mesh-sdk's in-memory mesh: a want composes the key, the outcomes provide it, leaving the node asks. Pins mesh-sdk 6b8c694.
Failed is failed with the have's words; anything else stays asked, saying what it waits for. Providers that make a credential per consumer keep their bound entries.
The seat holds provisions and plans alone (ADR 0570 §1-§3, §5): a node is composed at its wanted builds and its newest, so a key ahead of its want is never retiring; a key no build needs is retiring with one ask, and the warrant goes into the key for its provider. The registry's placement kinds name plans; needs is emptied at start. Pins mesh-sdk 66ff33d.

Every directory and archive resource carries `unknown`: move-out for a home folder whose program writes nothing there (the node-engine, delivered in mesh-host #117, moves the rest to ~/.local/state/mesh-moved/<module>/ with a list), module for ~/.ssh and ~/.claude, program elsewhere; `knows` keeps what a program or the operator relies on (powerlevel10k's compiled files, i3's scripts and the asus/g14 drop-ins, dunst's slack rule, betterbird's records, node-env's forge credential, issue 1033). Two shared folders are no longer declared. Each module's README says it. checks/owned holds every manifest to it; checks/sshdir stays while main's merge check runs it (issue 1035). Tests that pin a manifest follow the new key only. Reviewed in three rounds.
