Raise genesis's store as the postgres module's server, so the store step adopts it as it runs (hq issue 609, ADR 0338)
The bundle raised the store as mesh-store, on upstream postgres, in a docker volume; the postgres
module keeps it as postgres, on its pgvector image, in /var/lib/mesh-store owned 999:70, reading its
superuser password from a file. The store step refused, and genesis stopped at step 17 of 24.

The bundle now raises the store with the module's name, image, data directory and password file, and
every step of the bundle and the installer reaches it by that name. The refusal to raise a store over
data it cannot open looks for a cluster in the store's directory, no longer for the old volume.

// foundation-first-node.lock — what a machine must be before a mesh exists: the one genesis bundle
// (novox/hq ADR 0331 §2), on the bus the mesh runs on (ADR 0106, ADR 0131, design 25).
//
// The whole bootstrap (novox/hq 03-DESIGN/01-to-be/07-the-foundation.md): a container runtime, a
// filter, a store, a database per context, those contexts' schemas, the bus with its certificate
// and its first user list, and the control plane running on top of them.
//
// **The mesh writes its own user list, and at genesis there is no mesh yet to write it.** So this
// carries the first one — the controller's own account — and the control plane's address names the
// same account. Both say `bootstrap`, and both are placeholders: the installer makes the account's
// password, puts it in the address and its hash in the list (mesh-host internal/bootstrap
// rootsecrets.go), and refuses a bundle whose bus connection it does not recognise. Until the first
// node has enrolled the installer places the list the controller composes; from the bus's adoption
// as the `nats` module on, the module receives it like any module (ADR 0331 §1, §5).
//
// The accounts file is its own file beside the server's configuration, because the server's own
// settings belong to whoever raises it and the users belong to the mesh (design 25 §4). Both live in
// one directory, of necessity: an include path is resolved relative to the including file's own
// directory, so a server given an absolute one looks for it underneath that directory and refuses to
// start.
//
// No `verify` on the TLS block, deliberately — that setting makes the server demand a *client*
// certificate, and nothing in the mesh presents one: a host pins this server's exact certificate and
// authenticates with a password (ADR 0004, design 25 §4). The control plane pins it too, through
// MESH_BROKER_CERTIFICATE, and dials the bus on the machine's own loopback.
//
// PINNED BY DIGEST, and the digest is not decoration: a tag can be made to point at a different
// image, and this file is applied on a machine with no mesh to ask about anything (ADR 0006). The
// registry prefix is the lab's; the digests are upstream's.
//
// **The store is raised where the `postgres` module keeps it** (novox/hq ADR 0338): the container
// `postgres`, on the module's pgvector image, its data in the directory /var/lib/mesh-store owned by
// the image's postgres user, its superuser password read from the module's own-secret file — so the
// store step adopts it as it runs. Pinned upstream by the module's own digest, not through the lab's
// registry prefix, because the two must be the same reference (mesh-host internal/bootstrap holds
// them to each other against the module's manifest).

// **A filter before anything listens** (novox/hq issue 054, ADR 0088). The store and the
// broker are adopted as modules later and so bind to every interface from the moment they
// start; the packet filter that governs who may reach them is a module too, installed a
// dozen steps later. Between the two, a control-node facing the network had its store and
// its bus open to anyone who could reach the machine. So the foundation carries a filter of
// its own — the same table the filter module will replace wholesale once it can derive one:
// drop by default, keep loopback, replies, ssh and the mesh's own ports (the bus a node
// enrols over, the registry a node pulls from), and let the container runtime's own
// networks through the forward chain so containers keep working. A published container port
// is forwarded, never input (issue 047), which is why the forward chain is where the store's
// and broker's ports are refused from outside — and a container on this machine dialling a
// port this machine publishes reaches it through the runtime's proxy, which IS input, which
// is why the bus and the registry are opened in both chains, exactly as the derived ruleset
// does.
