A push raises what a module hears, not only a start

A module's declaration and its consumer are derived from the same records, and only one of them
followed a push: the consumers were raised when the control plane started serving, so a module that
gained a `consumes` was sent a declaration it could act on and a consumer that never delivered the
event — with nothing anywhere saying the two disagreed. Found on review: the catalogue's own replay
subscription was recorded, granted and never delivered.

Everything the raise does is idempotent, so a push may do it.
