Keep a facts snapshot for merge checks, and say when it goes stale (hq to-be 45 Phase 5, S14)

Every check the mesh had was right about the world it was given and none was given
the mesh's: a real machine's name made an identity too long (263), the node-engine
refused what the catalogue check passed (236). The controller now composes what a
check needs - every machine under a pseudonym of its name's length, its roles,
system, builds, capabilities, assignments, pins, settings and how its declaration
composes; every seat, module and source; the bus, store and node-engine versions it
runs - with no secret, no address and no name, and keeps it in the artifact store
as facts:latest when it moved, or daily. The replaced snapshot's manifest is let go
of, so the nightly collector takes it. S14 raises facts-stale past two days.

// A document the mesh keeps under a name, read by whoever asks for that name (novox/hq to-be 45 §9).
//
// **The one thing the mesh names by tag.** Everything a machine runs is pinned by digest (ADR 0189), and
// holders are put untagged so the collector's own rule keeps them. The facts snapshot is the opposite
// case: what a reader wants is *the newest*, never a particular one, and a tag is the store's own word
// for that. So it is put as the smallest OCI manifest naming one layer, under a tag; putting the next
// moves the tag, and **the manifest it replaced is deleted by its digest**: the store's nightly collector
// keeps every manifest, tagged or not, and marks what each names — so a replaced snapshot left in place
// would be kept for ever, one more every day. Deleted, its layer is named by nothing and the next
// collection takes it: the store keeps the newest, and nothing grows.
// MaxTagged is the largest document put or read this way: a snapshot of a large mesh is a few
// megabytes, and a reader is never made to swallow an answer of any size.
