Vault: take and hash a process's own bus account (broker-<process id>) as a covered account, so take-over is not held by every process user

The controller hands each process account of a core or moved module with origin issued (ADR 0436 §2); the vault took
only broker and provisioner-broker, refused these and never hashed them. Owed hashes are now said once per pass, and
account_hash says who asked when it refuses too (review round 1).

-The controller backs up the data of the modules a delivery moves before it asks or sends anything (ADR 0404). When its
-walk's record, in `plan-moved`, names a backup that failed or stayed silent and nothing of the plan was sent, the
-delivery goes from delivering to held (the observed row `backup failed`); the held reason names the machine, the
-module and the backup's words, and the pull request's comment shows it. The hold does not lift by itself. `release`
-of such a delivery asks the controller (`delivery-backups-again`) to take the backups again and the delivery goes on
-delivering; a record from before the controller cleared the failure does not hold it again. A held delivery already
-ends as covered or delivered when a later merge covers it.
+The gate keeps the merge's states: proposed, ready, rejected, merged, held (a merge that reached the trunk without a passing
+check) and closed. It asks the operator's Approve and merges once, moving `source.main`. It asks the controller nothing, follows
+no plan event and derives nothing after the merge: whether a merged change reached the machines is the view's, from
+`source.main`, the wants and the haves. The seat `mesh-delivery` keeps the verbs `deliveries`, `show`, `groups`, `checks`,
+`table`, `stalled` (for a merge or a check past its bound), `recheck` and `close`; `times`, `what-if`, `release`, `stop` and
+`retire-history` went with the plans, so the gate stays a bundle serving the seat. A delivery an earlier owner kept in a state that
+is gone is read as the state it came to (merged, closed or proposed) when the gate starts.

+listed no more; its bucket `conditions` keeps which it raised. (The controller's self-check that raised them went in

-## Taking the seat over from today's module
+## The seat's hand-over
 
-The gate claims the seat `mesh-delivery` and took it over from the module `mesh-delivery`, which the catalogue no longer holds.
-The controller refuses a merge that removes a module that is assigned, so today's module stayed in the catalogue until it was
-unassigned, and went by a handover of verbs after the merge, never by hand on a machine (novox/hq ADR 0449 §4, ADR 0450 §6, ADR 0454):
-
-1. assign `mesh-delivery-gate` to the machine that holds the seat (`mesh-controller.assign`);
-2. check that `mesh-controller.seats` still names `mesh-delivery`, held by the running module;
-3. unassign `mesh-delivery` from that machine (`mesh-controller.unassign`) and push it (`mesh-controller.push`);
-4. the seat passes: the gate reads the controller's assignments and the node-engine's have keys, finds the module on no machine,
-   carries its deliveries, groups and pull keys over once (the key `carried` in its `deliveries` says it did), reads the controller's
-   walks and the forge's open pull requests, and acts.
-
-Until then the gate is silent: it takes no event, writes no key, asks nothing and answers no verb but `delivery_status`, which
-says why (`holds-the-seat`, `seat-waits`).
-
-The removal of `modules/mesh-delivery` followed the handover as a pull request of its own, merged by the gate (ADR 0454); the
-catalogue has one claimant of the seat, and no manifest but the gate's and the issue tracker's names the old module but the names
-the handover needed: the three buckets the gate carries over, and the event the issue tracker and the tool runner hear

+The gate took the seat `mesh-delivery` over from the module `mesh-delivery` (ADR 0449 §4, ADR 0450 §6, ADR 0454) and carried its
+deliveries, groups and pull keys once; the carry, and the reading of the controller's assignments and the node-engine's have keys
+that waited for it, went with release 6. `catalogue_test.go` keeps the catalogue to one claimant of the seat.
