/etc/hosts is the machine's: the distribution's localhost lines, the operator's own entries, and marked blocks other tools maintain there. Writing node-names whole replaced all of it the moment the private network was taken, and every later write by those tools was lost at the next machine joining. The node-names fact is now emitted with into: "block", so the host owns only its marked region and keeps the rest byte for byte. The region holds only the mesh's names: no header claiming the file, no localhost, no 127.0.1.1 line — the floor was never the mesh's to write. How a fact is written is a property of the fact in the closed table; node-zones stays a whole file the mesh owns. Sequencing: a host older than the block mode refuses the whole declaration on an unknown into, so every host must be upgraded before this controller is rolled out.
