jochen 68009b16fe Hear what providers retire, and let a person approve, reject and delete (hq ADR 0230)
A provider now waits for a person before retiring more than three consumers
or half of what it holds, and deletes only when asked. The controller is that
person's way in: it keeps waiting and rejected sets as conditions, answers them
with retire approve|reject, lists and deletes retired consumers through the
provider's own tools on its machine, records each act in the hand-act log, and
probes for anything retired longer than thirty days (D11).

// 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.
