mesh-catalog/modules/route-adapter/adapter.ts

// The route adapter: it provides `route` by writing route files for the predecessor's proxy.
//
// **Migration scaffolding, and it says so** (novox/hq ADR 0104). The mesh has one provider of
// `route`, its own proxy, and that proxy binds the two public ports on the machine's own network.
// On a node being adopted (ADR 0100) the predecessor's proxy holds those ports and serves every
// public name there, so the two cannot run at once — and until one of them does, no module that
// must be reachable by name can be taken at all.
//
// So this module answers the same provision by writing into the predecessor's own configuration
// instead of proxying itself. It receives exactly what the proxy receives — the contributions file
// at `receives.route` — and turns each contribution into one route file where the predecessor's
// file provider reads. The predecessor keeps every name it already serves and keeps renewing its
// certificates; a name whose module has migrated is served by the same proxy, pointing at the
// mesh's container instead of the predecessor's.
//
// Two rules hold the whole thing safe, and both are tested:
//
//   - **one file per contribution**, named so the mesh can recognise its own, and
//   - **it never touches a file it did not write** — not a file of the predecessor's, and not even
//     a `mesh-…` file that carries no marker of this module's.
//
// It is removed when the predecessor's proxy retires, at which point the mesh's own proxy takes
// the ports and already knows every route.
