jochen e579512d95 Register a module only from the repository the catalogue builds it from
An agent could make a repository of its own, or fork one the mesh builds
from, commit a module.json naming sudo or mesh-host, and ask the build verb
for it: the outcome was registered under that name, and the next push made
whoever wrote it root on every node (novox/hq ADR 0266 §7, the review of
2026-10-09). The trunk rule checked the trunk of the repository built, which
was the agent's.

The take-in, which every outcome reaches whichever verb asked it, now
registers a module only from its registered repository, and a new module only
from a repository the catalogue already builds from (a merge adding one);
anything else only when the build request was kept as asked at the
controller's terminal (migration 0084). Through a verb, a build of a
repository the catalogue builds nothing from is not asked at all.

// Where a build may register a module from (novox/hq ADR 0266).
//
// A build's outcome registers its module, and a registered module is what the next push sends. Before this,
// an outcome registered whatever its manifest named, from whichever repository it was built from: an agent
// that made a repository of its own, committed `modules/sudo/module.json` granting itself a rule without a
// password, and asked the `build` verb for it had its repository registered as the module `sudo` — whose next
// push made the agent root on every node. A fork of the node-engine did the same everywhere. The trunk rule
// (ADR 0238) did not stop it: the trunk it checked was the trunk of the repository built, which was the
// agent's own.
//
// So **an outcome registers a module only from the repository the catalogue already builds that module
// from**; and a module new to the catalogue only from a repository the catalogue already builds another
// module from — whose trunk takes a reviewed, approved merge, which is how a merge adds a module (novox/hq
// issue 300). Anything else — a module moved to another repository, a module from a repository the
// catalogue has never built — is the operator's, at the controller's terminal: allowed only when the build
// request was kept as asked there. Judged at the take-in, which every outcome reaches whoever hears it and
// whichever verb asked it (`build`, `rebuild`, `replay --register`, `assign` with build), and before the ask
// for a call through a verb, so an agent cannot have a build node run a repository the catalogue does not
// build from at all.
