// The mesh runs the broker, so there is no chicken-and-egg in a node needing an account before it
// can connect: the account is created when the token is issued, and the one-time secret in that
// token IS the password. A node's first connection is already authenticated, and enrolment is
// what happens over it.
//
// novox/hq ADR 0004's *a node holds its own identity and nothing else* is why the account is per
// node rather than shared. A shared enrolment account would let any node consume another's queue,
// which is the shared-credential fault that record exists to remove, reappearing at the transport.

// constrained here rather than escaped later, because an escape that is forgotten once is a node
