// The deriving itself is pure and lives in the broker package; this is the reading, and it is kept
// apart for the reason that package keeps its own types: a permission must be a function of what a
// module declared, and a query that decided anything would be a second place authority came from.
// BusRecords is every fact the composer needs about who may reach the bus.

// **A module's authority comes from the manifest, not from the assignment.** The assignment says
// *where* it runs; what it may say is in what it declared, so the two are read together and the
