+/**
+ * **Nothing a machine sends while the store restarts is lost** (novox/hq issues 082, 083).
+ *
+ * The foundation's store is recreated when it is adopted, and for those seconds the control plane
+ * cannot write. This bed takes the store away on the control-node, has a second machine enrol into
+ * the gap, and brings the store back after the control plane has had to say "not now":
+ *
+ *   - the enrolment completes on its own, with the keys it started with — the host asked again
+ *     while the mesh said it could not answer, and the token was not spent until it could;
+ *   - the control plane really did say "not now", so the gap was hit, not missed;
+ *   - the machine then applies what it is pushed and is heard from.
+ *
+ * It needs a host binary and the foundation bundle:
+ *
+ *   MESH_LAB_HOST_BINARY=.../mesh-host
+ *   MESH_LAB_BUNDLE=.../examples/foundation-first-node.lock
