jschoubben 1f6793cf0c The example images build from the Go the manifest pins
Four example Dockerfiles named golang:1.25 while go.mod requires 1.26;
the control plane's image takes GO_BASE from the manifest and these did
not, so a build that could not fetch a newer toolchain failed at go mod
download (found running the lab through the mesh).

Things that run, kept here because a contract is easier to read as working code than as prose.

Nothing here is part of the control plane. The control plane decides and never touches a machine (README); everything in this directory runs on a machine and touches it. These are reference implementations of contracts the control plane defines, and a real one ships with the module that ships the software it configures.

postgres-provisioner the last step of a credential: reads what the mesh delivered and makes PostgreSQL accept it

Running the provisioner

--watch reconciles now and again whenever what the mesh delivered changes. That is what lets it be a module: an ordinary long-running service the host supervises, rather than something that has to be invoked after every declaration by a timer or a unit wired to a file.

It polls rather than watching the filesystem, because the host writes atomically — the file is replaced, so a watch on the path stops seeing anything after the first replacement. A watcher that silently stops working is worse than a poll.

Credentials are compared by digest and never by content. This runs for as long as the machine is up, and a secret does not belong in a long-lived variable when a hash answers the same question.
