-
-The rootless image builder as a module (novox/hq ADR 0487, issue 1702).
-
-- **The only module that declares the package `buildah`** (`checks/toolchains`), and the only one that provides
-  `rootless-image-build` (`checks/imagebuild`; docker never does).
-- **Provides `rootless-image-build` with the machine's reach**: mesh-build-image requires it, so it composes only on a
-  machine where this module is assigned, and a node without it is refused at resolution naming `buildah`.
-- **No account and no subordinate-id word.** The node-engine makes every `user` account with `useradd`, which
-  allocates the account 65536 subordinate uids and gids; mesh-build-image's own account gets its ranges that way and
-  its health proves them (it reads /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid).
-- The helpers (an OCI runtime, passt, containers-common) come as buildah's package dependencies.
-- Holds no long-running resource, so it adds nothing to `health-undeclared`.

-// to the session that last called for it, with that call's time, so the same name's waits are found again
-// across a /clear once the new session has adopted it.
-//
-// The waits file a hook reads is kept per session id, not per name, and holds the waits of whichever name is
-// currently bound to that id (empty for an id nothing is bound to): written whole, atomically, on every

-| | a kernel-copying hook | a hook in `/etc/pacman.d/hooks` that the mesh did not write, triggered by kernel images and copying to one fixed file name in `/boot`, would put the fallback kernel in the default kernel's place: it is moved into `${dir:state}/taken-over/` and named in the unit's journal. Each kernel is then placed under its own package's name by the distribution's hooks |
-| file | `/etc/systemd/system/mesh-kernel-boot-entries.service` | oneshot, sandboxed: the file system read-only but for `/boot`, `/etc/pacman.d/hooks` and the module's state; no home, no network |
-| file | `/etc/pacman.d/hooks/90-mesh-kernel-boot-entries.hook` | runs the script after a kernel image is installed, upgraded or removed |
-| packages | `linux-lts`, `linux-lts-headers` | declared after the service and the hook |

 ## Tools
 
 | tool | | answers |
 |---|---|---|
-| `kernel_boot` | r | the loader (`systemd-boot`, `grub` or `none`), the menu's entries, the kernels in `/boot`, the entry booted (systemd-boot) or the kernel image booted (GRUB), whether the fallback kernel is on the menu with its kernel in `/boot`, and the room free on `/boot` in KiB |
 | `kernel_huge_pages` | r | the mode, defrag and shared-memory mode; each per-size control and what `inherit` resolves to; huge pages by kind from `/proc/meminfo` (MiB); the units holding the most file pages in huge folios (`memory.stat` `file_thp`) with their dirty and writeback bytes, khugepaged's collapses and the bytes their cgroup wrote (`io.stat`, the most any one device saw: a mirror and its members each count the same write) |
 
 ## Tests
 
 `go test ./...`: the tool over a stand-in tree holding the control node's own files of 2026-10-14; the
-manifest's shape (the default, the order, the unit and its sandbox, reload, restart and health); the boot-entries script run with `sh` over stand-in roots (a systemd-boot entries directory, a GRUB menu, a hook that copies kernels to one fixed name): the entry from the booted command line, a menu generated again only when the kernels changed, no loader, no room, the taken-over hook; `kernel_boot` over the same roots; and the huge-pages script as the mesh
+manifest's shape (the default, the order, the unit and its sandbox, reload, restart and health); and the script as the mesh
 writes it, run with `sh` against a stand-in directory: it sets and reads back, keeps what it found once,
 rotates the journal once and not for `always` nor while the machine starts, goes straight to a new value on a
 reload without rewriting what it found, gives back what it found and then keeps nothing, refuses a value the kernel
