jschoubben 7232d6df4b A module may declare its own seats (novox/hq ADR 0118)
The manifest carries seats and uses; registration refuses a mesh-* name, a
duplicate declarer, an undeclared uses or claim, a seat with no protocol, a
scope mismatch, and a holder that does not answer what its seat promises.

The parser stops judging unknown claim names, because it cannot: another
module may declare that seat, and one manifest cannot tell. The test that
encoded the old rule is rewritten to assert the refusal at registration, and
a new one pins the case the parser could not have distinguished.

Tools are declared for the first time, under their own key — serves already
means a provision's facts.

// Seats a module declares of its own (novox/hq ADR 0118).
//
// The set of seats a mesh has is **derived**: the mesh's own, in seats.go, plus those declared by
// every module it has registered. Still closed — a seat named nowhere is refused — but computed
// from the catalogue rather than written in the controller, which is what ADR 0110 actually
// needed and a hand-maintained table could not keep. Its own evidence: the enumeration done by
// hand while that record was written reported eleven claims where there were thirteen.
//
// **What can be checked from one manifest and what cannot.** A declaration's shape, its scope,
// and the reserved prefix are facts about the manifest in front of you. Whether a seat anybody
// names actually exists, whether two modules declared the same one, and whether a holder
// satisfies the protocol are facts about the *catalogue* — so they are checked at registration,
// by CatalogueProblems, which is the last moment the mesh can still say no.
// meshSeatPrefix is reserved to the mesh. The prefix *is* the reservation rule: no list of
// reserved names to maintain, no way for the mesh's own namespace to be colonised by a manifest,
// and nothing to keep in step when a mesh seat is added.
