Let the controller ask an issued credential's tool in its own name, and seal it again over a remade pair (hq issue 526, ADR 0305)
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller, route-proxy → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it…
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery delivered
mesh/delivery-group group feat/526-a-provider-delivers-what-its-software-issued delivered: every member is delivered

The bus left the controller out of the caller-named grants, so issued could never reach plex's tool; the
controller is now granted exactly the tools of offers whose software issues the credential, composed from
the records, so the installer's first user list is unchanged. A pair remade on a key change or accepted by
hand kept the issued stamp and was never sealed again; those writes now clear it.
