mesh/merge-gate pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without …
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
Name the paths a seat's holder owns, and refuse a claim or a declaration without the seat (issue 412)
Which module owns /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf on a machine was answered only by reading every
manifest, and a module not holding node-hostname could declare /etc/hosts where nobody held it.
hq ADR 0287 makes the paths part of the seat's definition: node-hostname names /etc/hosts and
/etc/hostname, node-uplink names /etc/resolv.conf stepping back for node-resolver, node-resolver
names /etc/resolv.conf.

CanHold refuses a holder that does not declare every path (registration and handover), registration
refuses a module declaring a seat's path while claiming none of the seats naming it, a module's own
seat names paths under the same rules (node only, literal, not named by another seat), composition
refuses a generated resource on a seat's path, the uplink's step-back is read from the seat instead
of a special case, and `seats` shows each seat's paths and who owns each on each machine.

// The paths a seat's holder owns (novox/hq ADR 0287).
//
// **Who owns a machine-wide file is the role's question, answered once.** Until this, which module owned
// /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf was decided record by record (ADRs 0199, 0222, 0223, 0241) and enforced
// only after the fact, by checkResources finding two modules on one machine declaring the same path: a
// module that did not hold node-hostname could declare /etc/hosts on a machine where nobody held it, and
// nothing refused it. Now a seat's definition names the paths the role owns on any machine, and three
// refusals follow from it, each where the mesh can still say no:
//
// - a claim whose module does not declare every path its seat names, by CanHold, at registration and at
// handover;
// - a module declaring a path a seat names while claiming none of the seats that name it, at
// registration (CatalogueProblems), and what the controller generates for a machine, at composition;
// - a module's own seat naming a path another seat already names, at registration — the second loses.
//
// Reading a seat's path is access, never a resource, so it stays allowed.
