The builder's manifest with the one change that matters: it claims node-build-agent, a node seat, so it is assignable to every machine with a container runtime, and every holder pulls one build at a time from the role's one work queue (hq ADR 0190, design 18 "Where a build runs"). Same image recipe (compiled from the mesh-controller repository's main), same provisions, same workspace and credential.

Do not merge before the controller with ADR 0190's seat (node-build-agent, pull workers) has rolled — until then the catalogue check refuses an unknown seat. Then: register build-agent by building this path, assign it to every machine with a container runtime, unassign builder, and a follow-up PR removes modules/builder.

build-agent: the build machine as a node role every machine can hold (hq ADR 0190) 84403aec0c

The builder's manifest with one change that matters: it claims node-build-agent, a node seat, so it
is assignable to every machine with a container runtime, and every holder pulls one build at a time
from the role's one work queue. A tier of many images is then built by as many machines as hold the
seat and are online. The builder module stays until this is assigned where it was; then it goes.
