The controller ended by its unassignment, so its lease key is absent for good and mesh-sdk reads that as not handed away: mesh-enrolment's issue stayed off and the watchman never took DEAD_LETTER_NOTICES, whose notices age out after a week. Both now act without reading the lease; the watchman still waits, and says so, while the controller's consumer on the notices stands. Neither manifest reads the lease any more.
