Installation sets up the builder, so a raised mesh can produce
Genesis ended with a mesh that runs and cannot make anything: every module in the catalogue names artifacts and nothing had built them, so the first thing anybody had to do was install a builder by hand. The installer already carries one — it is what built the control plane — so this is the same two acts the control plane goes through, in the same order: publish it, so the mesh names it by a digest its own registry assigned rather than a local identity nothing else can fetch, then install it as an ordinary module pinned to that. And then the part only it needs, a broker account, issued before the push so it arrives with the declaration rather than after it. Verified on a bare machine: the install ends with a builder running, and that mesh then built the shared base images and a module on top of them with nobody helping it.
