mesh-grants: own the bus's composer, so a change to who may say what rebuilds only the grants part

ADR 0593 §1: buscompose's engine moves from mesh-sdk into mesh-grants/internal/buscompose, its golden
user lists unchanged; the controller's raise and assert code is left behind, and the merged switch
test runs inside the part's whole integration test.

// both subscriptions acted on every message twice — a joining machine was enrolled twice from one
// request, and the second enrolment minted a credential that replaced the one the machine had just
// been handed. Every report and every followed event doubled the same way, silently: nothing is
// redelivered, no count is wrong, the work simply happens twice.
//

// with "subjects overlap with an existing stream" (verified against nats-server 2.10). The check
// still earns its place, for a different reason: the server's refusal arrives when the controller
// is applying, naming one stream, at a moment when the mesh is half-configured. This one arrives
// where the set is written, names both, and cannot reach a running mesh.
//
// It also decides a design question. Because overlap is refused rather than merged, a shared
// EVENTS stream and a per-module stream cannot coexist — the module's would be refused — so
// "one stream for most, its own for a module that wants different retention" is not an option
// the server allows. It is all of one or all of the other.
