resolve.go had grown to 796 lines doing four jobs: working out what a machine should run, applying settings, collecting contributions, and placing credentials. They answer different questions — the first is "what", the rest are "what does that look like as resources" — and one file doing both is how a thing starts becoming the kernel everything imports. Prompted by looking at why HAL's shared library became unmaintainable. Measured while here, and the shape is the inverse of that one: the large packages import nothing internal, and only inventory and link compose. A change to module resolution cannot reach connectivity, because connectivity does not import it.
