Adding "not running what the mesh would send it" to `status` and not to the
board would have left two answers to one question with a person in front of
each — which is the single thing this page's design forbids, introduced by the
change that was supposed to make the question answerable.
The published JSON carries it as well, so the page, the command and anything
built against either say the same thing from the same read. Additive, because
that shape is hard to change once anything is built against it.
Never told stays separate from out of date on the page as it is everywhere
else: same remedy, and nobody has ever asked that machine to be anything.
A board reads through interfaces and holds nothing. Everything it needs
is already answered — as text, for people, which is not something a page
can read.
`--json` rather than a serving API, because nothing needs one yet:
whatever serves a board runs the command, and the constraint holds either
way — the board never touches a context's store. An API is the larger
thing and should wait until something asks for it.
Both forms are gathered from the same reads before either says anything,
so they answer the same questions rather than being two implementations
that can drift. That was not true of the first version: the JSON printed
after the text, because the branch was too late.
Four properties, each asserted and each confirmed to fail when removed:
- refused and failed stay distinct all the way out. They are fixed in
different places, so one word for both sends half a page's readers to
the wrong one — and how much DID apply is carried, since "three of
eight" and "none of eight" are different machines
- a machine that never spoke carries no time at all, rather than a zero
one that any page would format as a date in 1970
- nothing is null. A page distinguishing "no machines are wrong" from
"this field is missing" has to handle both, and null is the one that
gets forgotten
- no field is named like a secret. Everything here comes from records
that hold no readable one, but a shape a page is built against is
exactly where one would eventually be added for convenience
