mesh-sdk #136 (42988a7) keeps the node-engine's manifest out of every placed user in buscompose: where a
placement names it, no user, no process and nothing the tool runner carries; the node's account alone
writes the engine's state, and a second writer has the writers table refuse the whole list (met twice on
2026-10-30: mesh-host_acts, then mesh-host_health). The controller still composes the bus's users with
its own copy (internal/broker Users), which lacked the guard. The same two predicates, Composed and
CarriedByRunner, now guard it.
Read on the bus at 18:30: the bus follows the grants part's list (mesh-grants_user-list.sealed), so the
controller's copy is not what the bus loads; it still composes the bus module's files and the controller's
own grants, where a refusal would stop that composition.
Quick fix: the same guard here. Thorough fix: delete the controller's copy of the bus composer and use
buscompose (about 18,000 lines of internal/broker with its tests, its genesis list and its golden file).
Chose quick: the controller is being deprecated and the grants part already holds the list; the copy goes
with the controller's composition of the bus module, not in a sweep.
Research 072 piece: 03-domains, mesh-grants (membership and grants leave the controller): until the copy is
removed, it composes as the SDK does.
