jschoubben 6eeb10f066 A command opens each store once, not once per machine
Working out what a machine should be reaches the identity context for its
certificate and the licence context for its model access. Both were opened —
and waited on — inside functions called for every node in a push. Two machines
hid it. Fifty would be fifty connect-and-wait cycles for data that does not
change while the push runs.

So a command holds what it has open, and passes it. Each context is opened on
first use rather than up front, because most commands need one and paying to
reach three would be the same waste from the other side.

The contexts stay separate, which is the point: this is one struct holding
three connections to three databases, not one connection to a shared one. No
context reaches another's store, and each still holds only its own credential
(novox/hq ADR 0008).

A pure move again — the gate is green before and after, and no test changed.

jschoubben 005b928d36 Test the licence store, and name an unknown licence rather than a constraint
Its own store, its own test database, the same shape every other context has.
Five properties: a key with nobody to seal it to is refused rather than kept
readably; a key is sealed once per holder and the blobs differ because they are
sealed to different machines; a holder recorded afterwards has none and the
existing ones keep theirs; releasing a consumer takes its key; and a licence
nobody recorded is refused by name.

The last was the only one whose message mattered and whose message was not
checked — the database's own foreign-key error is true and mentions a
constraint, which sends somebody to read a schema instead of typing the name
they meant.

Partial sealing now says how far it got. The person holding the key is the only
one who can finish, and running it again knowing what it will do is different
from running it hoping.

jschoubben 87c6a56b81 Model access is a provision answered by a record, not a machine
novox/hq ADR 0024, gaps 1 and 2. The user's stated requirement, and the first
thing here that no machine can answer: a hosted model is on nobody's node and
is reached over the public internet, so the rule that refuses two ends sharing
no private network must not apply to it.

A licence is a named thing and the name is the operator's — *the personal
account*, *the organisation's* — because the whole point is saying which one a
given consumer uses, and an anonymous credential hanging off a provider cannot
be said. Many to many, so deliberately not a claim: two machines sharing an
account is ordinary rather than a collision.

Gap 2 is the missing verb, *accept*: take a value somebody supplied, seal it to
each holder, discard the plaintext. With the consequence stated rather than
hidden — a holder recorded after the key was supplied has no key and the mesh
cannot make one, so it is refused by name with the remedy, not silently handed
an empty file.

Refusal is felt, as the record warns: a mesh holding three ways to reach a
model refuses every consumer that has not chosen. So the refusal names the
candidates and the exact command. Being right is not the same as being usable.

Gaps 3 and 4 — a consumer that is not a machine, and switching as a reaction
rather than a declaration — remain gaps. Half-building them would put a
conditional in the declaration language, which is what ADR 0024 says plainly to
avoid.

Its own context, with its own store and its own credential: a licence is a
different aggregate from anything inventory owns, and it refers to nodes by
name because that is what crossing a context boundary may carry.
