novox/hq ADR 0118: the prefix is the reservation rule, so a module declaring any mesh-* name is refused and there is no reserved-names list to drift. Ten seats renamed in the table, the manifests that claim them, the controller's own shipped manifests, and the tests. Not the migration 0118 expected: a holding is derived at resolution from manifests and never stored, so nothing recorded points at an old name. A kept rename table tells a manifest written against one what it became — kept rather than retired, because a module lives in its own repository and may be registered long after the catalogue stopped using it. **A seat is not the interface it delivers.** The git seat became mesh-git and the git provision did not; likewise the package registry. A blanket replace renamed both, and the failure read "the package registry is served on <nil>", which does not say "you renamed an interface". A test now pins every seat against what it delivers, and that neither name is also the other.
