jochen b7912172af A seat says what it receives, and its holder places every module's contribution (hq ADR 0212)
Each contribution grain was a manifest field and a renderer of its own; a module now contributes
to any seat with a kind that seat receives, the holder places it with
${contribution:<seat>:<kind>}, and the contribution depends on the seat. node-hotkeys is the
first new seat to receive (triggers); the display session receives window-manager config.

// say that a module of the mesh holds the role and answers for it. So the dependency is derived from

// field would pass — and is met when some module assigned to the same node holds the seat.
