// The node's tool runtime, as the catalogue knows it (novox/hq ADR 0175, to-be 38).
//
// **One module is the runtime.** Where it is assigned, one process per machine serves every assigned
// module's tools and every held seat's verbs, on the host side, from the bundles each module's build
// produced — and no module needs a container to reach the bus with its tools. The name is a constant
// rather than a manifest field because a rule turns on it: the composer places the runtime's process
// where this module is, and registration refuses the old pattern once this module exists.

// RuntimeModule is the module that is the node's tool runtime. Mirrored in the broker package,
// which composes a principal of its own for it; the agreement test there holds the two to one string.

// BundleRoot is where a machine keeps the tools bundles the mesh delivers to it: under the mesh's
// own directory, beside the daemons the host unpacks there, and never where a package manager also
// writes. One directory per module, one per bundle beneath it, at a path that does not move with
// the version — so the runtime's process names each entrypoint once and is restarted, not
// recomposed, when a bundle changes.

// runtimeHere says whether this node's set includes the runtime module, which is what decides
// whether anything about tools changes on the machine (to-be 38 WP2): until the runtime is assigned,

// nothing from is run rather than loaded: a daemon, a step, the runtime itself — delivered by the
