The records send the operator to "the controller's terminal", and nothing reached it (hq issue 343). The serving controller now answers each node's mesh.control.<node>.cli, where only that node's engine may publish, with the account the engine read from the kernel. A line from the control-node's operator account runs as the terminal: a fresh process of this binary with no MESH_VERB, whatever the serving process carries. The same account on any other node, where agents may run as it, is an ordinary call: the generic command verb's refusals (one function now, so the two routes cannot drift) and MESH_VERB=mesh-cli, so a terminal-only change is refused with its reason. Any other account, root included, runs nothing. Servers are never run, and an answer over one bus message is cut and says so. The terminal-only refusals and the usage now name mesh-cli on the control-node as the way to the terminal.
