// disagreement would be invisible until somebody compared a composed file with a manifest.
//
// What cannot be derived is the password, and on the bus being built it has to outlive its own
// minting: the whole user list is one file, rewritten whenever any of it changes, so a person's
// access change would blank every module's password if the mesh kept nothing (design 25 §4, and the
// migration beside this).
