jschoubben 7ecf7ba356 Ask a refused subscription again on a new link and announce the node seat as discovery reads it, so node-engine.root-free is answered again (issue 774)
Every engine's node-seat subscriptions were refused at 12:10 by a user list composed without them. nats
asks a refused subscription again only on a new connection, and a user-list reload makes none, so the
seat answered nobody all afternoon and the messenger held every Telegram ask. The endpoints also lacked
the kind and scope discovery reads, so the console said nothing in the mesh is called node-engine.

Quick fix: restart the engines. Thorough fix (chosen, the second time a stale user list left an engine
deaf): a refused subscription of any kind is said and the link is opened again after a pause (1 min,
doubling to 30 min), so every subscription the engine makes is asked again; the seat's endpoints carry
kind, seat, scope, module, description and schema like every tool runner's.
