Review found a chain through the command verb: set the operator's key to one
the caller holds, rotate secrets so they are sealed to it too, read the sealed
copies, open them. Whoever may call a verb includes agents (hq ADR 0266), so
command now runs an allow list of reading forms, and operator, identity,
token, broker, api, licence and every secret command but rotate are refused
through any verb.
The generic command verb ran node account and node agent-account, so an agent
could name itself the operator account and have the next send grant it root
(hq ADR 0266 review). Refuse every node subcommand but list and show through
any verb; refuse the operator account as the agent account in both
directions and well-known service accounts as an agent account; and count a
verdict heard more than 15 minutes ago as not judged, so stopping the
node-engine cannot freeze a healthy one. Re-pin mesh-host to its review head.
On the control node every agent ran as the operator's account, which has
passwordless sudo, so an agent could become root without a person (hq ADR
0266). A node now names an agent account at the controller's terminal only;
the agent's module declares it never to become root, the node-engine judges
that, and the self-check (DA) raises agent-can-become-root while it does not
hold, so ADR 0259's router can rest on it.

Each verb ran as a process that dialled the bus, so hundreds of short
connections an hour, all named mesh-controller, hid any client reconnecting
in a loop (hq issue 327). D15 now says a user whose connections keep dropping.

A dead letter was let go as delivered even when its consumer did not filter
its again subject; seat asks needed a grant over every seat's queue and left
the original stuck; a notices bind failure stopped the controller (review).
Design 25 promised a dead-letter stream that did not exist: a message a
consumer gave up on stayed only in its source, which drops it after a week,
and its condition cleared when the advisories stopped (hq issue 330, ADR 0264).

An unplaceable line of a left-out module, such as an access nobody placed, failed the whole machine's
declaration. Say it among what could not be placed instead, never copy the definition's path past a
placement that does not read, and accept a removal only when the decoder is past it.

A machine sharing folders and a machine mounting them each need one holder
per machine, with verbs an agent calls instead of exportfs, fstab edits or
zfs set. Both seats deliver nothing: nfs-share is provided at the mesh's
scope. The two adopt verbs are dry runs unless confirmed.

A module left out for an unknown key inside an entry lost its whole manifest, so every consumer of what
it provides was refused and its data stopped being copied. Read past only the unknown key, keep its
backup lines, and say in the condition what stops.

disable cannot remove an enable link whose unit file is gone, so a
leftover unit stays wanted at every login with no verb to end it. Optional
until the systemd module serves it (ADR 0246 step 1).

A key dropped silently ran a module without what its manifest says, and a key inside a block still
failed the whole catalogue. Judge a key by what it is about, and narrow the listing to one machine.
One verb is the interface to every preference, so no module builds a settings tool of its own: each
key, its default and why, and every assigned machine's value with its source.
A strict read of the stored catalogue fails every plan and send once a manifest uses a field an older
controller lacks; registration stays strict. A node named default lost its layer to the name check.
Judge the operator's keys by whole words, and scan a default under any key.
Without a default, a running module could never gain a setting: the file asking for it
failed to compose until set, and the key was refused as stray until a file asked for it.
Defaults sit under the mesh's and the node's settings, never merge into a JSON file, are
refused for the operator's own values, and settings shows each value's source.

A failed unit whose file is gone stays raised until its record is reset,
and nothing could say which unit or enable link still asks for it. Both
verbs are optional until the systemd module serves them (ADR 0246 step 1).

The backlog is held after any failed walk, not only a release, and a check is a pull

Second review of #150: one key per machine and module let a newer failure
be cleared in the tick that raised it, pruning could orphan an open
condition, and a build no longer waited for read as never asked although it
may still run.

The release-held words said "release them, or leave them held" without the modules,
the machines or the mesh MCP server, so the operator could neither tell what waited
nor where to act (ADR 0258). The controller's restart needs missed the same suffix.
A test now holds every need that opens with a verb only the mesh MCP server performs
to name it, so a new kind cannot miss it.
Review of #150: a withdrawal could land between the look and the act, a
failed ask read as a build in flight, a request kept the wrong asker, a
build being registered read as not built, build "true" could ask a build
nothing waited on, and a status read changed state. Claim a row under the
machine's hold before making it, keep a request only once asked, settle on
the controller's own tick, raise an assignment not made as a condition
until it is answered, and tie each row to its machine.
A merge asks for a new module's build, and assign answered "no module of that
name" until the build registered it, which read as a module nobody registered
(hq issue 325). Keep every build request, tell a build in flight, a module
known and not built, and an unknown name apart, and make an assignment made
while the build runs when the build registers the module.

A derived read reached the whole bucket, and the power module could write every
machine's draw. A read granted for a block now reaches that block's key alone, by the
direct get of its subject and a consumer filtered to it, and state declared per-machine
is written and read at the machine's own key only.

Let go of alone after a build, an index's platforms stayed for ever under a record that
said collected, so no later collect could reach them (re-review of #144).
An unrecorded index or a copy in progress can name a platform the records do not see, so
only a person's collect, after its dry run, takes an index's platforms, and only once every
kept index of each repository it touches was read. A copy missing a platform is copied
again, and a copy a build holds again is no longer recorded as collected (review of #144).
A copied base was named only in what a build stood on, and nowhere when the build failed,
so the store's sweep could never let one go (hq issue 321). One repository per upstream
image stops each module asking the public registry for the same image again, and letting
an index go now takes its own platform manifests, which otherwise kept every byte. A
person can record the copies no record names through the new mirrors verb (hq ADR 0257).
The forge test fix is the same commit as on feat/plain-notifications: main fails without it.

Modules talk over the bus, and the power draw reached the bar through a file. A block
may now show state its contributor keeps, the contributor only its own; the holder on
the same machine is granted the read without naming the module, and the template sees
which machine it renders for.
