The controller ended by its unassignment, so a node that falls back to the
compositions in its bucket follows what nobody writes (issue 1126, A7). The
node agent now always runs its own composer: without a placement key it
composes nothing and keeps what runs, a placement it cannot watch stops the
agent and is said, and a candidate taking its placement away is refused
instead of answered as a return to the controller. The start-time placement
read, the end-when-placed watchers and the returning answer go, with their
tests and the three integration tests of the controller-composed path.

jschoubben 5cfc4ff4a7 Trust the vault's key alone and write the grants part's user list alone
The controller ended by its unassignment and its lease is never handed, so
the engine's lease gate kept trusting the controller's key and the bus node
kept the controller's list as a fallback nobody writes (issue 1126, A6).
The engine now trusts no controller signature, its hand-over line names the
node seat's hand-over, and the user-list follower writes only the grants
part's list: a key unreadable or deleted keeps the list loaded, and with no
key heard nothing is written. Compositions in the node's bucket name the
file's place alone. The guard no longer asks for the controller's user.
