jochen 8d9d33ae85 Report a provider that keeps failing a consumer in status (hq ADR 0224)
The identity provider failed every consumer for a day and status called the
mesh well (hq issue 179). The controller now follows every provider's
provisioner.failing/recovered, keeps the newest failing word per provider,
machine and consumer (migration 0065), and status, its JSON and node show
name it until it recovers. Every module that receives contributions is
granted the two events, so no manifest can forget them.

// What a module may call an event, and what a consumer may ask for.
//
// A module names an event **locally**: `order.placed`, not a subject and not a routing key
// (design 29 §1). A consumer names the emitter and the event: `billing.order.placed`. The mesh
// derives the subject from those, so reorganising the subject space leaves every manifest correct.
//
// **Nothing checked this until every manifest in the catalogue was wrong the same way**
// (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/127). All thirty-seven kept the old bus's routing key —
// `module.<module>.<verb>` — which the derivation read as "a module called `module`", so every
// cross-module subscription in the mesh pointed at a namespace nobody publishes to. Nothing failed:
// the services started and none of them reacted. The documentation on these fields taught the old
// form too, which is why the drift was uniform rather than scattered.
// eventName is one name in a local event: lower-case, and no wildcard.
var eventName = regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$`)
// The wildcards a consumer may use, spelled the mesh's way and derived to whatever the transport
// spells them as.
//
// **A manifest holds no transport token**, which is the whole point of naming locally: the bus the
// mesh runs on today spells these `*` and `#`, and the one being built spells them `*` and `>`. A
// manifest that said either would be a manifest that stopped being true when the wire changed.
