The last of the host's link that still named a transport. `Asking` is one
enrolment conversation — a connection made with the token, a question asked, and
an answer waited for — and it is its own seam rather than part of `Link` because
almost nothing about it is the same: the credential is a one-time secret, there
is no declaration to hear, and a node that fails here is not in the mesh at all,
where a node that fails in `Link` has merely lost touch with one it belongs to.
`Enrol`'s thirteen arguments became an `Approach` — where, which certificate,
which bus — and the request it already had. The token says nothing about which
bus, and does not need to: every token names the one the mesh runs on today until
the rollout.
**The reply address is the whole of what changes on the new bus**, and it is
forced rather than preferred. Verified against a running server, both halves: the
answer reaches the node at the address its request carried in the payload, and
the transport's own reply field held something else entirely by the time the
consumer saw it — the consumer's ack address, exactly as design 25 §2 says. The
test asserts the field is *not* the node's inbox, so a future server that stopped
claiming it would fail this rather than let the reason quietly become folklore.
The inbox is under `_INBOX.enrol.<node>.`, which is exactly what the enrolling
user may subscribe and no wider, with a random tail per attempt: a reply left
over from an attempt that timed out is not the answer to this question, which is
what the correlation id does on the other transport. Subscribed before anything
is published, because a node that published first could miss an answer to a
question nobody was listening for.
