+// So this reads the binding and the pair credential and makes the entry say the same thing, through
+// the MQTT integration's own reconfigure flow — the flow its "Reconfigure" button runs, which tests
+// the connection itself and saves nothing it could not connect with.
+//
+// **Only the connection, and only when it differs.** Broker, port, username, password. The protocol
+// version, client id, keepalive, TLS choices and discovery options the entry holds are sent back
+// exactly as Home Assistant pre-filled them. Whether the password already matches cannot be read
+// back (Home Assistant never shows a stored password), so the step keeps a digest of what it last
+// wrote: equal broker/port/username and an equal digest is "already as the mesh says".
+//
+// **Nothing loses its connection without someone seeing it.** Before Home Assistant is touched the
+// broker itself is asked whether it takes the delivered login (the provisioner creates it within
+// seconds of the grant): if not, nothing is written and the step fails saying why, and Home
+// Assistant keeps the login it has — the carried `luffy` on ace, which mosquitto keeps. If Home

+// Home Assistant's Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr integrations, pointed at the apps the mesh bound —
+// `sonarr-api`, `radarr-api`, `lidarr-api` (their providers: mesh-catalog #156).
+//
+// **What Home Assistant lets anyone change, and what it does not.** Each integration keeps a URL and
+// an API key in its config entry. None of the three has a reconfigure flow: Home Assistant changes
+// them only through the flow its UI runs —
+//   - a **user flow** makes a new entry (validated against the app);
+//   - a **reauth flow**, which Home Assistant starts by itself when the app refuses the key it holds,
+//     takes a new key (Sonarr) or a new URL and key (Radarr, Lidarr);
+//   - anything else — the URL of a working entry — only by removing the integration and adding it
+//     again, which throws away its entities' names, areas and history links. **This step never
+//     removes an entry.**
+// So, per app:
+//   1. The bound key is tried against the bound app first. Refused, nothing is written: until the
+//      operator accepts the app's own key for this pair, the mesh delivers a value it minted, which
+//      no Servarr app takes (novox/hq ADR 0092) — the failure names the `secret accept` that fixes it.
+//   2. No entry: one is made through the user flow.
+//   3. A reauth flow Home Assistant started for the entry: finished with the bound key (and URL,
+//      where the integration's reauth asks for one).
+//   4. An entry whose URL (read from the device the integration registered, `configuration_url`)
+//      is the bound one and which is loaded: already as the mesh says. The key needs no digest here:
+//      a Servarr app has one key, so an entry loaded against the app holds the key the app took.
+//   5. A working entry at a different URL that reaches **the same app** — the same process, by the
+//      app's own status (start time, data folder, version) — is left as it is and said: ace's entries
+//      say `127.0.0.1:<port>` and the binding says `ace.internal:<port>`, one Sonarr either way.
+//   6. Anything else is refused, loudly, with what the operator can do; nothing is removed.

+// What the `influxdb-api` provision means in InfluxDB: one v1-compatibility authorization per
+// consumer, in the org this module serves, under the username and password the mesh gave both ends,
+// allowed exactly the access the consumer contributed. The provisioner (provisioner/index.ts) is the
+// sdk harness calling these; they are here, apart from it, so they can be exercised against a fake
+// InfluxDB without a broker or a contributions file.
+//
+// **Why a v1 authorization and not a v2 API token.** The mesh mints the consumer's password and
+// hands it to both ends (novox/hq ADR 0048); the provider sets it, and never hands one back. An
+// InfluxDB 2.x API token is generated by the server — `POST /api/v2/authorizations` ignores a token
+// the caller sends — so a token could only ever be the operator's to accept, one per pair, by hand.
+// A v1 authorization is a username and a password the caller chooses (8–72 characters; the mesh
+// mints 40), stored hashed, and it reads and writes through InfluxQL (`/query`) and line protocol
+// (`/write`), which every bucket answers under its own name as a database (InfluxDB maps each
+// bucket to a database of the same name by itself). That is what grafana's InfluxDB data source
+// speaks, and what Node-RED's influxdb nodes speak in their 1.x mode — so the mesh can make every
+// consumer's credential, rotate it and withdraw it, with no person in the loop.
+//
+// **What a consumer contributes.** `access`: "read" (the default), "write" or "read-write".
+// `buckets`: the buckets it may use, by name. A reader that names none may read every bucket of the
+// org — a dashboard is pointed at data, it does not own it. A writer must name its buckets: writing
+// everywhere, the org's system buckets included, is never what a consumer means. A named bucket
+// that does not exist is created, keeping its data for ever; the mesh never deletes a bucket.
+//
+// **Only what the mesh made is touched.** An authorization this module creates is named with the
+// mesh's identity prefix and its description starts with MARK. One with the same username that
+// lacks the mark is somebody else's: it is refused, never adopted, never updated, never deleted.

+// What the `oidc-client` provision means in Keycloak: one confidential OpenID Connect client per
+// consumer, in the realm this module serves, under the name and secret the mesh gave both ends.
+// The provisioner (provisioner/index.ts) is the sdk harness calling these; they are here, apart from
+// it, so they can be exercised against a fake admin API without a broker or a contributions file.
+//
+// **The client id and the secret are the mesh's, not Keycloak's (novox/hq ADR 0048).** The mesh
+// derives the consumer's identity (`as`, e.g. `mesh_ace_grafana`) and hands it to both ends — the
+// consumer names it as its client id through `${bound:oidc-client:as}` — and mints the secret, which
+// this sets as the client's secret. Keycloak generates neither.
+//
+// **Where the consumer's browser comes back to is the consumer's to say.** Its contribution carries
+// `callback` (a path, e.g. `/login/generic_oauth`) and the `label`/`endpoint` of the endpoint it is
+// reached on; the mesh composes that endpoint's names into `name` (public) and `internal-name`
+// (private network) exactly as it does for a route (novox/hq ADR 0056, 0138), so the redirect URI
+// registered here is built from the same names the proxy serves the consumer under.
+//
+// **Only what the mesh made is touched.** A client this module creates carries the attribute

+
+Mail — Mailu, with its provisioner (the `smtp` provision) and tools, on the tool runtime.
+
+## Settings
+
+A definition names no mesh (novox/hq ADR 0112, ADR 0155), so the values that are this
+installation's are settings on the assignment, `settings set mailu <file>`:
+
+```json
+{"domain": "…", "sitename": "…", "website": "https://…", "proxy-address": "…"}
+```
+
+`domain` is the mail domain (also the provisioner's, for a consumer's address); `sitename` and
+`website` are shown by the web front; `proxy-address` is what `REAL_IP_FROM` trusts a real-IP
+header from — the address the proxy forwards with. The front's own hostname is the name of its
+`web` route, told to it by the mesh.

+# mesh-console
+
+The mesh's tools, on the machine a person sits at, served by a module the mesh assigned there
+(novox/hq [ADR 0152](https://git.novox.be/novox/hq), design 34).
+
+Assign it to a machine and an agent on that machine has the mesh's tools at
+`http://127.0.0.1:<port>/mcp` — MCP over HTTP, `initialize`, `tools/list`, `tools/call`. A person at
+a terminal reaches the same endpoint with `mesh tools --console http://127.0.0.1:<port>` and
+`mesh call <module>.<tool> --console …`, with no credential of their own: the console holds it.
+
+## What it is
+
+The tool runtime's own client, `mesh serve`, started by the mesh on the credential it sealed to the
+machine for `<node>.mesh-console`. The manifest says three things nothing else in the catalogue says
+together:
+
+- `invokes: ["*"]` — it calls every tool on the mesh, and the bus grants exactly that publish side;
+- a listener `from: machine` — loopback only, and the filter opens nothing for it;
+- no `emits`, no `consumes`, no `tools` — nothing on the bus can address it.
+
+**Loopback is the authority boundary.** Whoever can connect is on the machine, and whoever is on the
+machine is the account that owns the mesh there (ADR 0034, ADR 0144). There is no token and no login,
+and `mesh serve` refuses to bind anything but a loopback address.
+
+## What it lists
+
+What the running modules answer: every tool runtime serves a `tools` verb for its module, and the
+console asks the catalogue which modules the mesh holds and each module what it serves. A module that
+did not answer — not assigned, not up, or built before the runtime answered `tools` — is named in the
+list's `_meta.notAnswering` and can still be called by `<module>.<tool>`.
+
+The mesh's own verbs (`status`, `push`, `assign`) are the `mesh-controller` seat's tools under
+ADR 0132 and are not served on the bus yet; they appear here when they are.
+
+## Port
+
+The manifest declares port 4270 and the mesh assigns the machine port as it does for any listener;
+the console binds `127.0.0.1:${port:4270}`. `node show <machine>` says which port a machine was given.

+// Node-RED's MQTT broker config node, pointed at the broker the mesh bound — `mqtt-topic`.
+//
+// **Why a step.** Node-RED keeps a broker as a config node in its flows (`flows.json`) and the login
+// and password in its encrypted credentials file, both of them Node-RED's to write. So this reads the
+// binding and the pair credential and makes the broker node say the same thing through Node-RED's
+// admin API — `GET /flows`, then `POST /flows` with the changed node and its `credentials`, deployed
+// as "nodes" so only what changed restarts — with the module's own `api-token`.
+//
+// **Which broker nodes are the mesh's.** Never guessed: a flow may talk to a broker that has nothing
+// to do with this mesh. The step owns the node it creates itself (id `mesh-mqtt-topic`, "mesh:
+// mqtt-topic") and the ones an assignment names in settings (`mqtt.brokers`: node ids — how ace's
+// existing broker node, which every one of its MQTT flows uses, is handed over). With none named and
+// none made yet, it makes one, so a fresh Node-RED has a broker the flows can pick.
+//
+// **Only the connection, and only when it differs.** Host, port, TLS off (the broker serves plain
+// MQTT), login, password. Every other field of the node — client id, keepalive, birth/close/will
+// messages — is left as it is. Node-RED never hands a stored password back, so the step keeps a
+// digest of what it last wrote: equal host/port/login and an equal digest is "already as the mesh
+// says".
+//
+// **Nothing loses its connection without someone seeing it.** The broker is asked first whether it
+// takes the delivered login; if not, nothing is written and the step fails saying why.
+//
+// Pure logic over two seams (Node-RED, the broker), tested against fakes (test/mqtt.test.ts).
