A module's data section says what it keeps and how precious it is; the backup holder's lines,
binding stickiness, retirement on unassign and D13's conditions follow from it, so issue 273's
empty replacement is said and an unassigned module's data is remembered, not forgotten.
The one global 20-character bound made every consumer pay an object
store's key length, even for provisions that keep no name, and a single
overflow refused the provider's whole declaration. An offer now states
its own bound (identity: {max, in} or false); unsaid, a provider told its
consumers keeps 20 and one told nothing keeps none. module check judges
every identity on the longest machine name before merge, and a provider
leaves an overflowing consumer out of its grants and composes, with the
consumer named by push, plan and status (ADR 0225).
ADR 0214 / to-be 43: a node seat whose holder keeps nightly restore points of what every module on
the machine declares. A contribution of kind backup may name its module's own directories, filled
per module when placed. The catalogue check refuses a store provider that contributes no backup;
parsing does not, so the providers already running stay readable.
A check that only ran when somebody remembered a variable was a check nobody ran (novox/hq issue
134). MESH_CATALOGUE still overrides; the checks skip only when no catalogue can be found.
InstallationProblems judges every value the mesh acts on for a name under a public top-level domain
or a public address, with prose, the world's registries, resolvers and certificate authorities
exempt, and a name a resource means on purpose declared with its reason (names-on-purpose). Run by
module check and a catalogue-wide test, not yet at registration, while the declared list shrinks.
${setting:<key>} fills a file from the assignment's settings and is refused when nothing set it.
A build context may live on the git seat; the request carries the seat's clone base (novox/hq ADR
0112, ADR 0155, issues 122 and 134).
A test that reads every manifest in a catalogue checkout and parses it with the
control plane's own parser, rather than asserting against a fixture: whether the
manifests as written are accepted is the question, and a copy of one proves nothing
about the other seventy-one.
Skipped unless MESH_CATALOGUE names a checkout, so it costs nothing in ordinary
runs and is there when the catalogue changes shape. It also refuses to pass if no
endpoint is named, because a run that validated nothing would otherwise read as
success.
