Without them, a machine running the next holder of a seat beside the current one
resolves as two holders, is refused, and drops out of the map — and with it the
address every other machine composes for what it offers. Found live: the control
node vanished from the private network the moment the new bus was assigned beside
the old one, and nothing on any machine could be composed.
Carries MTU from the reported tunnel (mesh-host#28) through inventory,
the overlay graph's TakeOver, into the generated config's [Interface].
A tuned path keeps its MTU across the takeover instead of regressing to
1420 and hanging transfers no ping would reveal. Two emit tests; a
tunnel with no MTU writes no line.
A home node behind NAT (no Endpoint → not Reachable) that took over a
tunnel must still listen on that tunnel's port: its LAN peers dial it
there. ListenPort was gated on Reachable, which conflated 'a peer dials
me here' with 'the hub can dial me' — so the takeover guard refused
overlay-up, and the guard's suggested remedy (re-place with an
endpoint) breaks a NAT'd node's path: it stops keepalive and hands the
hub a private LAN address to dial. TakeOver now carries the found
tunnel's port (already known to the controller), and the interface
listens on it when the node is not otherwise reachable. Two tests;
Endpoint-reachable nodes keep the old path unchanged.
The tunnel the hub took over routes to machines the predecessor knows
by name and the mesh knew only by address — taking the resolver in that
state silences three machines at once. Now the operator states which
machine a carried address is (overlay name <address> <name>), the
statement rides tunnel_peer.named, and namesInTheMesh answers for named
not-yet-enrolled peers — one reading, so the hosts fact, a container's
hosts and the resolver cannot disagree. Enrolment verifies the word:
a machine enrolling under a named peer's key with a different name is
refused where the operator can read it, the stated name keeps the
carried address, and an enrolled peer's name is the node's — naming it
again refuses. The issue's rule holds: a name the predecessor answers
for keeps resolving until the machine behind it is a node.
Review of the ADR 0105 build (hq ADR 0105). Four things it got wrong and one
path it lacked:
- A predecessor spoke's tunnel names one peer, the hub, routed the whole
range; recording refused it and the whole enrolment failed. Range-routed
peers are skipped now — only the hub's peers are ever carried.
- The range and the carried peers were conditions on the node being adopted,
so converging the hub would have renumbered the mesh and dropped the peers
still reaching it. They are facts of the tunnel record now, mode aside; the
takeover alone is declared to an adopted node. Converging the hub is refused
while a carried peer has not enrolled, naming it.
- A push composed a takeover for a hub whose address or endpoint disagreed
with the tunnel, which would have the host stop the found interface and
raise the mesh's where no peer listens. The graph refuses to compose it,
naming both and the placement that fixes it.
- The host's account said taken or not; "found down and the mesh's not up"
read as not taken. Three states now, and an account on every takeover.
- A hub that enrolled before this feature holds a key of its own, and
re-enrolling would rotate every key the mesh sealed credentials to. A node
now rekeys in a report, signed with its identity key over the key it
leaves, the key it takes and the tunnel; the mesh verifies against the live
key, refuses a stale or foreign proof, records key and tunnel, and moves a
hub to the tunnel's address. `overlay show` names the path for a hub that
found no tunnel.
Also: a carried IPv6 peer is routed /128, and identity.ForTest exists so the
link can be tested against a real identity store.
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
On an adopted hub the private network takes over the tunnel it finds rather
than running beside it (hq ADR 0105): two tunnels leave the mesh's unreachable
through the provider's filter, so no machine can ever join.
The node presents the found tunnel when it enrols, under the key it took as
its own; the inventory records it (node.tunnel, tunnel_peer — migration 0031)
and the mesh composes from it: the overlay's range is the adopted tunnel's,
the hub is placed at the tunnel's address on the tunnel's port, and every
peer the tunnel had is carried in the hub's peer list as a peer of the
tunnel, not a node of the mesh, until a node enrols with that key — which
then keeps the address the tunnel had for it. A fresh node never gets an
address the tunnel holds. The hub's declaration tells the host which unit to
take over; the host's account of carrying it is recorded and shown.
Every reader of the range follows the setting; nothing stores it. A found
tunnel under another key is recorded and not adopted, so ADR 0100's
non-overlap rule keeps applying where a tunnel is left running beside the
mesh's. A lab bed and test skeleton for "How it is checked" are under lab/.
An adversarial review of the 055 fix found it encoded the wrong invariants, latent while
every mesh keeps its broker on the hub. Now: the address is the overlay name of the node
ASSIGNED a module claiming the mesh-broker seat (the hub stands in only while nothing holds
the seat — genesis); "on the overlay" is what whereEveryoneIs answers (resolved the
networking module), not "has an address"; a portless genesis address defaults to 5671
instead of silently disabling the path; a second `overlay place --hub` is refused rather
than last-write-wins; and `overlay place` says that earlier credentials keep their old
address. A test now binds the controller's own module.json to its seat, so deleting the
claim fails the suite.

artifactStoreOnNetwork collapsed a failed inventory read into 'no
store', so a hiccup composed a declaration without the registry trust,
delivered by a push that reported success — and nothing recomposed the
machine until the next push. Seen once in three fresh runs of the
built-store-cross-node bed (run 11). Refused loudly instead: 'no store'
now only ever means the mesh has none.
Being on the private network is what grants a machine the right to pull from the mesh's
artifact store, so the module that puts a machine on the network writes the runtime's
trust — a merged /etc/docker/daemon.json naming the store's internal name under
insecure-registries, and a docker.service restart when that fact first lands. The registry
speaks plain HTTP because every path to it is already inside the overlay's encryption; the
provider is found, not configured — whichever module serves artifact-store, on whichever
machine holds it — and with no store on the network nothing is written, which is genesis.

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.
