A module's containers ran as whatever their image chose and shared folders were
made writable by putting accounts in the folder's group (ADR 0312), which ADR 0325
supersedes. The engine now makes each declared module identity as a system account
with the controller's numbers, runs a container declaring `identity` as it, and keeps
each placed shared folder usable through one POSIX ACL entry per user, set through
the kernel's xattrs on descriptors it opened itself. A folder holding data is kept
only after the operator's warrant (the take act); a missing folder is made where its
data lives and waits where its disk is not; root's data is never kept. A watch and a
bounded sweep put back what an app narrows. The group grant is removed, and what it
put an account in is taken back.
Reuses the descriptor walks, the create act, the missing-path wait and the warrant-
backed act message from the paused issue 567 branch.
The tenth shape (novox/hq ADR 0051). Shared, pre-existing data — a media
library, a download spool several modules use — is the operator's, not
the mesh's. A `directory` resource is the host's own: it creates it,
chowns it, sets its mode and removes it when empty. An access is the
opposite on every axis.
Add the `access` type to the vocabulary. Its applier confirms the path is
present and changes nothing: it does not create, chown, reconcile or set
a mode. Absent is refused clearly — the operator must provide it — rather
than created, because a bind mount whose source is missing is made as
root by the container runtime with the wrong ownership (04-ISSUES/026).
Undeclaring an access forgets the record and never touches the path,
which is the data loss ADR 0030 prevents, on a directory the mesh never
made.
Full hosts speak it (it gates a bind mount, which needs the container
runtime); the vocabulary guard test records the decision that made it the
tenth shape. Unit tests cover present, absent-refused, and
undeclared-left-alone.
