The instructions in every bed named the bundle that raises the predecessor's
broker, so a first attempt ends in a control plane crash-looping on a missing
MESH_BUS_NATS — which reads like a broken lab. They name the bundle that works
now, and the README says the host binary needs SYSTEM=arch, because one built
without it refuses everything with an empty system name.
And the three habits that each cost a run before they were adopted:
MESH_LAB_KEEP to leave the machine standing, MESH_LAB_WARM while iterating,
and rebuilding all three repositories the bed places rather than the one that
changed.
novox/hq 04-ISSUES/146. The bed now does what raising a first node actually
takes: the private network so the authority can certify the address it holds,
and the composed user list placed beside the bus at the two moments an account
comes into existence — when the token is issued, and when the machine enrols.
Neither can arrive in a declaration, because a machine that has not enrolled
gets none.
MESH_LAB_KEEP leaves the machine standing, which is where every answer in this
sequence came from. No 'module issue' for the authority: that delivers a bus
account and it declares none.
The bed still fails, at the machine being enrolled twice from one attempt.
novox/hq ADR 0147. The bed dials the authority itself — step-ca serves its
own API with a leaf it issued — so a plain client verifying that handshake is
verifying one thing: the mesh's root is in this machine's trust store. The
negative half runs twice, before the module is assigned and after it is
unassigned; an anchor bed that only checks the success would pass on a machine
that trusted everything.
foundationBundle learns the new bundle's bus reference, the way it already
knows the store's and the previous broker's. The bed does not run yet: raising
a foundation fails before any module is reached (novox/hq issue 146).
step-ca beside the proxy, the proxy fetching the authority's root through its gate,
hello-web routed under the node's public domain by its label (ADR 0066). The last
declared mesh test but one reads the catalogue (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/074, 076).
Every request through the proxy was refused by the backend, which read as the
certificate never arriving and hid behind the authority's refusal — until the second
authority issued one and the request behind the handshake still failed.
A config file, a run-once gate that validates it, and a service that reads it once at
start. The second push changes the file and makes the gate refuse it: the file is
applied, the gate fails, the service stays — v2 on disk, v1 served, the push
reported failed. Evidence for the decision 066 asks for, not a rule enforced.
Issue 020 could not tell a Pebble interop detail from a fault of the proxy's. The
bed now raises step-ca as the catalogue pins it and orders again through the same
proxy and the same challenge path (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/020).
The four sidecar beds (grafana, plex, sonarr, redis) proved a sidecar comes up and
serves tools with the module's server cut away; the catalogue beds and the whole-mesh
beds prove the modules whole. The minio and postgres grant beds proved a grant
mechanism with a second store beside the foundation's; the grant bed and the vault bed
prove it against the catalogue. Ten conversions become six deletions (novox/hq
04-ISSUES/074).
Two files with two values, two holders in the vault's ledger — the identity with the
local name after it — and one rotate moves both (novox/hq ADR 0094).
A module's name is its tool namespace and its broker scope, so a fixture running
the module's runtime cannot carry another name (novox/hq ADR 0093). The grant and
backend-network beds now read the catalogue's redis and install mesh-vault, which
provides the secret it requires; the redis-node scenario stocks the vault's runtime.
The remaining declared copies say why they stand (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/074).
A per-module bed stocks mesh-runtime-<module>:development from the workstation's
image store, built by hand by a script the suite never called; six were two weeks
older than the manifests they served. For the beds named, every runtime their
scenarios stock is compared against the module's source and the tool runtime and
SDK it is built on, and rebuilt where older, missing or uncommitted; a failed
build stops the suite (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/075).
The control plane's manifest comes out of the build the installer runs (novox/hq ADR
0069, 04-ISSUES/072); the catalogue no longer holds a copy, and a bed that demanded
one would stop a genesis that is about to succeed.
Review findings: a sibling-path fallback read a catalogue the receipt never claimed;
a manifest literal naming its version first slipped the fence; the shared loader
thirteen beds install through had no test short of a lab run.
