+// Command environment refuses a module's code reading a MESH_* word of its environment that nothing gives it: not its
+// manifest, and not the node-engine or the tool runner for every process (the lead's ruling on A3n, issue 1966).
+//
+// A MESH_* word is the mesh's contract with a module's process: the manifest sets it (an `env` of a build artifact or a
+// resource, an `environment`'s `variables`, a `NAME=` line of a file the module ships for an env-file), or the mesh gives
+// it to every process (Given). A word read and set by nothing is a contract nobody keeps: the program runs on its
+// default or on nothing, and says so to nobody (MESH_REGISTRY_REACH answered every published reference without its
+// registry; MESH_CONFIG_CALLERS held every window shut). Found here, it is refused: the code reads what the mesh gives
+// (a manifest word, a config value through its tools, a seat's name), or the manifest sets it.
+//
+// A read is `os.Getenv` or `os.LookupEnv` of a literal or of a constant of the same directory (Go), and `env.MESH_*` or
+// `env["MESH_*"]` (TypeScript, `process.env` included); tests, test directories, node_modules and dist are not read. The
+// modules still reading such a word are listed in the file `unset` beside this check, `<module> <WORD>` a line, until
+// each is fixed: a line no longer found is refused, so the list only shrinks.

+The sweep writes nothing to the store's door (CAT-AS1, ADR 0617 §2): it asks the registry seats the store's holder

+removed for `retention` on its seat (`release`, `remove`). It reads a reference in both forms, `artifact-store://<path>`

+call a seat refuses stops the sweep and writes the finding `sweep-refused` in the module's findings; the next sweep no

-// the mesh keeps of an image survives. An archive was not: the builder put it in the store as a
-// bare blob — upload, then `PUT ?digest=` — and nothing in the store names it. To the collector a

-// **So each archive gets a holder**: the smallest OCI image manifest that names it — the empty
-// config, one layer, nothing else — put in the archive's own repository, by digest, untagged. The
-// collector marks it and so keeps the archive; the sweep lets go of an archive by deleting its
-// holder first, which is what lets the bytes go at the next collection.
-//
-// **Nothing a machine reads changes.** The recorded reference stays
-// `artifact-store://<module>/<artifact>/blobs/sha256:…`, and machines fetch the blob exactly as
-// before. The holder is the store's bookkeeping, not a second way to reach anything.
-//
-// **Deterministic, so it never needs recording.** The holder is composed from the archive's digest
-// and size alone, in a fixed field order with no timestamps or annotations, so the sweep can
