The controller moves from a container to a process on the one machine
that runs it (novox/hq issue 213). Every orphan is removed before anything
is applied, so the container would go first and nothing would answer the
mesh's verbs while the process was fetched, unpacked and started — and
never again, if it did not start.
- a process may say what it `replaces`: resources the declaration no
longer declares. Such an orphan is kept through the up-front sweep and
removed right after the process applied and is up: active and running
at two looks ten seconds apart, the same main process, no restart in
between (stricter than ADR 0184's second look, which reads a unit
waiting to restart as running). If the process failed, was skipped
behind its module's step, or is not running, the orphan stays running
and recorded, reported kept, and the next apply hands it over.
Refused: naming something still declared, itself, an empty id, one
thing named by two processes, and `replaces` on a step or a schedule.
- a run-once process is run by a oneshot unit, so a step has its
process's user, working directory and environment and `./name` is its
own bundle's binary; it was run directly by the host, as root, with no
environment. It is not enabled.
- a run-once process that fails gates its module, as a run-once
container already did, so a version whose preparation failed is not
started.
- an unchanged run-once process is not run again, and an unchanged
scheduled one is kept up by its timer: both were "a daemon that had
stopped" and were started on every apply.
