`assign ace postgres` made the control plane's own store unresolvable: postgres's manifest claims mesh-store, nobody was ever recorded as its holder, and with two eligible assignments and nothing on record both claimed and both were refused — novox's included. ADR 0110 says the assignment holds, by a deliberate act; ADR 0131 gave the record its force but left a seat nobody handed over held by whichever assignment happened to be alone. Before acting on an assignment the controller now writes the derived answer down: every mesh-scoped seat the store knows, resolved to exactly one holder with nothing on record, gets that holder recorded — the same record `seat <name> --to <node>/<module>` makes by hand. The next assignment able to hold the seat then stands beside the holder, eligible and silent. A seat with two derived claimants is left for a person; a seat on record is never rewritten; seats the store does not list stay held by derivation as before. And the refusal, when it still happens, names the handover that records the holder. Verified: catalogue tests against the real catalogue; the cmd suite against a store (the only failure, TestConvergingPreviewsThenChanges…, fails identically on main).
