jochen f8286c063d rotate: narrow a pair credential to one consuming module (hq issue 268)
A machine runs many consumers of one provision, each with its own
credential. When one module leaks its credential, `rotate <provision>
--consumer <machine>` was the narrowest act and replaced every module's
on that machine, restarting all of them. --module (and the verb's
module argument beside provision) rotates only that module's.

// Command mesh-controller is the control plane: everything that needs to know about more than one
// node (novox/hq ADR 0006).
//
// It runs as one process holding several contexts, each owning its own store. Today it holds one,
// `inventory`, and does one thing with it — brings its schema up to date, which is step 3 of the
// bootstrap in novox/hq 07-the-foundation and the step the first node cannot get past without.
