The forward chain blocked everything passing through the machine and then allowed
the machine's own containers back by naming their address ranges: 172.16.0.0/12 and
192.168.128.0/17 fixed here, the rest recorded per machine by 0043. Every way of
keeping that list correct fails — a constant describes one machine, a recorded range
goes stale in silence and cannot tell a network the mesh made from one a predecessor
left behind, and generating it from the modules would put half the rule set on the
machine.
The mesh has no position on a container reaching outward: that is not a port opened
to anybody. So both chains are written around the links traffic arrives on. What did
not arrive from outside is accepted in one line; what did meets the declared rules.
The tunnel is named beside the outward links rather than treated as inside, or a port
nothing declares would be reachable from every machine in the mesh.
A machine that has not reported an outward link is sent no filter and keeps the one
it has, refused where a person reads it rather than as a rule set that will not load.
Removes the two constants, `node networks`, and the column behind it. novox/hq ADR
0140, superseding 0137 and 0139.
