// became a seat by being claimed, so nothing could say which seats a mesh has or who fills them:
// `the-showcase` and `the-build-machine` were each invented by the module claiming it. The set is
// what a person reads to learn what a mesh can have, so an entry nobody argued for is an entry
// nobody can explain — the same reason every shape in the host's vocabulary names its decision.
//
// A seat is held by a module assignment. What the mesh knows about a holder is what it knows about
// that assignment; nothing about holders is kept here or anywhere else.

// Seat is one role the mesh defines.
