ADR 0121 carried through to working code. `Builders` is the asking side and
`BuildMachine` the taking side, each with an implementation per bus, and the builder
binary and the `build` command now go through them.
On the bus being built, one publish does what two did. The old bus answered the asker
through a reply queue and announced to an events exchange, because two audiences meant
two topologies. Here the outcome is the role's own event: the asker matches it by the
id its request carried, the controller records it, the catalogue places it in the graph.
So a build machine publishes once, needs a reply queue for nothing, and needs a grant
over nobody's inbox — which is what ruled out the alternatives.
The outcome carries the module name now. Only the manifest says what was built, and on
the old bus the separate announcement carried it; with one message for three readers it
belongs in the result. A failed build names none, because it produced no module version
and the catalogue would otherwise place something that was never made.
Checked against a real server: the whole round trip; a third party on the role's event
hearing the same outcome the asker did, which is the claim the decision rests on; work
leaving the queue once settled, so no second machine repeats it; work submitted with no
machine holding the role waiting instead of failing, and being done when one arrives;
and work a machine handed back coming round again.
One thing I got wrong twice now and have written down where it bit: binding to a
consumer must name that consumer's own filter subject, not the narrower subject the
caller cares about. The client compares the two and refuses anything that is not equal,
with "subject does not match consumer".
Implements novox/hq ADR 0110 and 0111.
The seat set lives in internal/catalogue/seats.go: fourteen seats, each with a scope, what occupying
it delivers, and the record that made it one. A test asserts the count and a decision per entry, so
changing the set means finding the argument, as the host's vocabulary test does. The first set is
every seat already claimed — including the-private-network, which the network module claims from a
manifest composed in this repository's code, not from any module.json — plus npm-package-registry
(ADR 0109) and git (ADR 0111). A test parses every catalogue manifest and this repository's own and
fails on any refused claim, so closing the set refuses nothing in use.
ParseManifest now refuses a claim on a seat the mesh does not define, a seat claimed at another
scope, and a delivering seat claimed by a module that does not provide what it delivers. A
malformed claim is refused once, for being malformed.
Resolution: among several providers of a mesh provision, a pin still wins; then the holder of the
seat that delivers it; then the only provider; otherwise refused as before. ADR 0009's "never
guessed" holds — the seat is the choice made once, mesh-wide, rather than a pin per consumer node.
A provider now carries the module it came from, because a provider is a (node, module) pair and the
pair is what tells a holder from a neighbour on the same machine.
The planner's second pass is now given the first pass's holdings. Without them, a node consuming a
seat-delivered provision was refused there, and a refused node's own claims dropped out of what the
mesh holds — letting a second holder of one of its seats pass unrefused.
`seats [--json]` lists every seat, what it delivers, and each holder, derived from assignments
every time and never stored. Unheld seats are listed. A stored claim outside the set — possible
for a manifest registered before the set closed, since stored manifests are not re-validated — is
shown rather than hidden.
`build --self <owner>/<repo>` builds from a repository on the git seat's holder. The clone URL is
composed at build time from the holder's node and what it serves for git; the recorded source is the
path and the seat (migration 0032), never an address, so a moved forge changes nothing recorded.
Nobody holding the seat refuses self-hosted builds and says so; external URLs are unchanged. An
address passed with --self is refused rather than recorded as a path.
Replaces three foundation tests that defended the builder's carried package binding. The catalogue
removed that binding when the builder began requiring the registry through a real grant, so the
tests were already failing on main; they now assert the builder requires what the npm seat delivers
and carries no copy of its own, and that the forge holds the npm and git seats.
Verified: go vet clean; the whole suite passes against a throwaway Postgres (make postgres), the new
inventory tests included; gofmt clean apart from cmd/mesh-builder/stdout_test.go, which fails on
main too.
Three readers did not follow a moved foundation port (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/102),
and each took the control-node down in its own way: the control plane's own
store and broker connections, sealed at genesis with the port inside; and every
build the mesh ever recorded, kept as `<registry>:<port>/<module>/<artifact>@…`.
The control plane cannot open its own sealed connections to move a port, and it
cannot bind the store as a consumer would — a binding mints a credential. So its
settings get a third twin, `NAME_PORT`, read on top of the sealed value by the
store, the broker, the management API and the bus connection, and filled into
its container by a placeholder that names a seat, `${seat:mesh-store:5432}`,
from the node's given or mesh-assigned ports — never the manifest's number, and
empty when the mesh has nothing to add, so what genesis wrote stands. A value
that is still a placeholder is nothing said, aloud: the manifest naming it lands
in the next commit, once every control plane that composes it knows it.
A build is now recorded by digest and path — `artifact-store://<module>/<artifact>@…`
— and the store's address is composed in where a reference is used: the
declaration, the trust file, the bases a build is handed, a replay to the
catalogue. Over the network as `<node>.internal:<port>`; on the store's own node
before any network exists — every genesis push before its "network" step — by
loopback. A reference recorded before this, with an address, is re-routed the
same way when the mesh built it. The trust file and every provider's address
come from one derivation: the node's given port, over the mesh's assignment,
over the manifest's number.
novox/hq 04-ISSUES/102
The broker credential handed to a module named the genesis MESH_BROKER_ADDRESS — the
broker's public endpoint. That is reachable from the control-node itself but not routed
to another node, whose firewall admits only the overlay (from:mesh); a consumer on a
joined node timed out fetching the broker's certificate and never connected.
brokerReachableAt returns the broker's address as the given node can reach it: a node on
the overlay gets the hub's `.internal` name (which every node resolves and the firewall
admits, the fingerprint pin making the host swap safe for TLS); a node not yet on the
overlay — at genesis, before any `overlay place`, when the builder's account is issued —
keeps the genesis address, so bring-up is unchanged. Both credential paths (module issue
and builder issue) use it. This is the reachability half of novox/hq issue 055.

One name per thing, per the HQ glossary: the module/container/image/binary/repo
becomes mesh-controller, the seat the-controller, and the store+broker pair the
foundation (embedded base bundles, default template and example lock renamed with
their go:embed directives). No behaviour change — a pure vocabulary rename.
