// InstallRegistry gives this mesh somewhere to put images.
//
// **Its image is upstream and it is never built.** novox/hq 04-ISSUES/029 is the whole reason this
// step exists in this position: a module that provides the artifact store cannot be delivered
// through the artifact store, so the registry is the one module whose image is pulled from the
// internet like the store and the broker before it. A manifest carrying the catalogue's
// placeholder digest here would mean somebody had made it buildable, which is the cycle again —
// so it is refused rather than pulled.
//
// **No credentials, and that is deliberate.** The registry is reached over the mesh's own private
// network, which is already the encrypted and authenticated thing; a second layer inside it would
// be certificates to issue and rotate for no property the first does not have (mesh-control's
// `internal/builder`, which pushes to it the same way). So there is nothing here to configure and
// nothing to seal — which is also why step 8 can push without the mesh having issued anything.
//
// **It is verified by asking it, not by looking at it.** A container that is up is not a registry
// that serves: `/v2/` is the registry API's own "yes, I am one and I am ready", and it is the
// question step 8 depends on the answer to.
