jochen aa5bf7d5ef fail2ban's tools are a bundle the node's runtime serves; its container goes (hq to-be 38 WP4)
The second holder follows the packet filter: the container, its base images, the Dockerfile,
and the bus credential and state directory only the container read are gone; the tools are a
TypeScript bundle node-tools loads. The daemon's socket answers only to root, so the client
runs through sudo without a prompt where the runtime's account is not root, naming sudo's
absence or refusal by how it failed; client and daemon are the one package the module declares.

// fail2ban's own code, in the module (novox/hq ADR 0039). The jails are composed by the mesh from
// the modules a machine runs (to-be 31) and written as declared resources; the daemon is kept
// running by one. This code exists only to read and steer the *live* state the daemon owns: who is
// banned now and until when, and the ban or release an operator asks for — the node-intrusion-
// prevention seat's four verbs (ADR 0179). The daemon's state is fail2ban's, not the mesh's: the
// mesh composes the jails and never writes the ban list.
//
// Spoken through fail2ban-client over the daemon's socket. Client and daemon come from the one
// package this module declares on the machine, and the socket is root's: root is the module's
// concern (ADR 0175 §4), and the runtime loading this bundle runs as the operator's account (to-be
// 38 WP4), so the client is run through sudo without a prompt where the account is not root.
