The bundle raised the bus as mesh-broker on docker volumes; the catalogue's nats module keeps it as mesh-broker-nats on directories of the machine, so the broker step refused rather than raise a second bus, and genesis stopped at step 18 of 24. The bundle now raises mesh-broker-nats with its configuration and user list in /var/lib/nats-module/conf, its streams in /var/lib/mesh-broker-nats and its certificate in /var/lib/mesh-broker-tls, published on the node's bus port. The broker step holds that layout to the module's manifest field by field before registering anything, says the one restart onto the module's image, and waits until the bus runs that image and its monitor answers. The installer's bridge writes the composed users at the module's bus-users path and signals mesh-broker-nats. The bundle's bus configuration and user list are seeds, so a re-run after the adoption does not put the bundle's one user back over the module's.
