jochen 15b2e6b86e The licence manager, in Go, and claude-code's half of ADR 0206
claude-licence-manager holds the anthropic-licence-manager seat: it reads
every node's holdings state, adopts a login it does not hold by refreshing
it (newest first, once per account), keeps each grant alive under a lease,
publishes what each consumer should hold as its bindings state with a
generation, and answers current sealed to the consumer's key. Postgres
store prepared by a run-once step; grants encrypted with the vault's key.

claude-code reports what its node holds (fingerprints and account, never a
token), hands its grant over only when the manager asks, watches its
binding and fetches the token on a newer generation, and writes
access-token-only. Its ask now reads the runtime's answer as a value and
addresses seats as seats.

// What claude-code does on a node, written against two things it is handed — a way to ask a tool on the
// bus and a way to emit an event — so every path is tested without a bus (novox/hq design 36 §4–§5,
// ADR 0183, ADR 0198).
//
// **Over NATS** (design 32 §10, ADR 0201, ADR 0206): what is *current* is state, a secret only ever
// travels on a request, sealed to its one recipient, and nothing is an event any more:
// - **what this node holds** is the module's `holdings` state, one key per node: the account, the kind,
// fingerprints and expiries — never a token. Written at start and on every change of the credentials
// file, so the licence manager learns a login, or a node already logged in, from the state alone;
// - **the grant itself** leaves only when the manager asks `claude_code_grant`, sealed to the key it
// gives — the manager adopts a licence by refreshing it, and from then on is its only refresher;
// - **what this node should hold** is the manager's `bindings` state; a newer generation for this node
// is fetched with the seat's `current` verb, sealed to this module's key, and written access-token-only,
// so the agent here never refreshes and a refresh token appearing later is a person's login;
// - an MCP server registered through this module is a key in its `servers` state — `all.<server>` for
// every node, `<node>.<server>` for one — which every node watches.
