jochen 751e39186c Heal what is known, under a brake, and say every repair (hq to-be 45 Phase 3)
Research 031 counted the repairs people made by hand: a push to unstick a
plan waiting on a report, a controller restarted to make an object again, a
plan closed, a consumer re-made from now. Each was the ordinary path taken
again by someone who noticed. The healer registry makes each a registered
response to one condition kind, with a budget, a settle and its event:

- H1 sent-not-reported: ask the machine's node-engine to report again
  (mesh.node.<n>.ask.report); if it does not report what it was sent, send
  it again, never moving a build a policy or a plan holds back
- H2 stalled: close a plan whose wait is superseded or finished
- H3 holder-silent / consumer-lost: the send's own assertion of the bus's
  objects (issue 208's note)
- H4 consumer-behind: consumer-reset, only for a consumer the stream table
  marks resettable (the controller's own events consumer)
- H5 is the identity provider's own repair (ADR 0224 §5), registered only

Success is the observation clearing the condition, never the healer; a spent
budget hands the condition to the operator, urgent, with what was tried, and
no healer touches it again. Every act is begun in the store before it is made
(migration 0070), kept in the condition's tried as "healer Hn" and said as
the seat event healer-acted; a heal is never a hand act. More than twelve acts
in an hour stop every healer until an hour after the last, said urgently.
Only the lease holder heals.

S15 is live: a cause repaired by hand twice in a fortnight raises
healer-wanted, naming the healer that was not enough where one exists. D6's
far-behind finding has its own kind, consumer-behind. Nodes are granted the
question; the controller's grant gains healer-acted (genesis lock in
mesh-host). `healers` lists the registry, the acts and the brake; status
counts the week's heals.

jochen 2eb9a22c24 Act under a lease, keep accounts by order, one writer at composition (hq to-be 45 Phase 2)
Two controllers could both act (issue 204), a reconcile's report could
overtake the apply after it and the digest decided (issue 267), and a grant
could make a second writer of a machine's report.

- The lease (internal/lease, ADR 0229): mesh-controller_lease key `holder`,
  15 s age, renewed every 5 s by compare-and-set; the epoch is the revision
  it was taken at. The gate is the clock (stops 3 s before expiry); a refused
  renewal is a loss and the process exits; a holder that stops gives it back.
  serve takes it before asserting the bus. Epochs kept in the store
  (migration 0068 controller_epoch) as a floor: a bucket raised from nothing
  is compacted past it. Unleased (no epoch, S12 urgent) only when nobody
  holds it and the bus will not let it be written. A shell command acts
  under the holder's epoch, or its own lease when none.
- Declarations carry `epoch` inside the signed envelope, only to a machine
  whose latest account carried a report_sequence (mesh-host #35); would-send
  is composed with the epoch last sent. Allot and the send both pass the gate.
- Reports: contract in internal/link/order.go (epoch, sequence,
  report_sequence, older_than, refused_older). Accounts kept by epoch, then
  sequence, then report sequence; older refused, counted; unordered reports
  keep the digest rule. Plans by compare-and-set on a revision, with epoch.
  Conditions and calls carry the epoch and are not written off the lease.
- S12 and S13 (naming the writer by epoch) watched, D5 run; reset of the
  bucket said. Writers table compiled in and enforced in PermissionsFor; the
  controller no longer publishes mesh.control.>. A contract per consumed
  kind, and the empty-on-error lint over the repository.
- mesh-host pinned to its main with the epoch in the validator (D1 validates
  the envelope as sent).

Needs mesh-host's genesis lock with the lease grant (mesh-host PR) for
TestTheInstallersFirstUserListIsWhatTheControllerWouldCompose.

jochen bb1607e424 Say when the mesh is wrong: conditions, watchdogs, the bus's advisories, doctor (hq to-be 45 Phase 1)
Every one of the 48 core failures of research 031 was found by a person
looking; the mesh's answers carried the fact for whoever asked and told
nobody.

- The condition store (to-be 45 §2): mesh-controller_conditions, one key
  per open condition, written by compare-and-set so a person's silence
  and the watchdogs never lose each other's word; every transition kept
  ninety days in mesh-controller_condition-history and said as the
  seat's events condition-raised / condition-changed / condition-cleared
  (the condition at the top level, with event, at, change, why, show),
  offered again while the bus is away. Raised and cleared by observation
  only; a clearing reopened within ten minutes is the same condition with
  its count up, its silence kept. Verbs: conditions, conditions show,
  conditions silence (a hand act, at most a week), conditions history.
- ADR 0224's provider standing is the first kind, provider-failing, held
  by the provider's events; the provider_standing table is no longer read
  or written (left in place: dropping it is the operator's word).
- status leads with the open conditions, urgent first, and says all well
  only with none open; conditions it cannot read are said and not well.
- The signals table compiled in, one watchdog loop over it every 30s: S1
  heartbeat (3 intervals, asleep machines excepted, control node urgent
  after 30 min), S2 report after a send, S3 plan tier, S4 event loop deaf,
  S5 merge not acted, S6 ask lost, S7 call hung, S8 provider silent, S9
  advisories, S10 self-check silent, S11 node tools silent, S13 stale
  refusals; S12, S14, S15 deferred with their reasons. A row that cannot
  see raises probe-failed and clears nothing. A test generated from the
  table suppresses each signal inside and past its bound.
- The bus's advisories (maximum deliveries, a mesh consumer deleted) and
  the controller's own slow consumer and refused subjects, said in the
  mesh's words.
- doctor: the probe registry D1-D10 (D5 deferred) and DW, every five
  minutes, each in thirty seconds; a probe that cannot run is never a
  pass. D1 validates with mesh-host's own validator. Every run ends with
  the doctor-heartbeat event mesh-watcher listens for.
- The controller is granted its new buckets, events, the two advisories
  and $SRV.INFO; the node tools their tools-alive heartbeat. The streams
  and consumers the controller asserts and the ones D6/D7 expect are one
  derivation.
