One name per thing, per the HQ glossary: the module/container/image/binary/repo
becomes mesh-controller, the seat the-controller, and the store+broker pair the
foundation (embedded base bundles, default template and example lock renamed with
their go:embed directives). No behaviour change — a pure vocabulary rename.

Suggested by Jochen, and it paid for itself on its first run.
A suite that takes forty minutes is a suite you hear from once a day.
Every fault found today would have shown up in the first three minutes
of it — a module pinned to an image that does not exist, a consumer
given a password and no name to present with it, a credential file
nothing could read, a search for a password that read the password as an
option. The other thirty-seven minutes proved things that were already
working.
So this runs first, on one machine, with the three images the mesh needs
for itself. It walks one path: a mesh comes up, a module lands, and a
consumer gets a credential it can actually use — the name to present,
the address, the port, and a password only the host could put there.
Deliberately not a smaller copy of the full suite: that path is where
everything went wrong, and a canary checking many things shallowly is a
canary whose failure nobody can read.
`suite` runs it and stops if it dies, saying why rather than leaving
somebody to wonder what the missing thirty-seven minutes would have
said. Skipped when the caller named its own files.
It measured 164 seconds against forty-odd minutes, and failed three
times on its first run for one reason: applying the bundle raises a
control plane but does not tell it a machine exists. I had left out
enrolment, and the long suite would have taken forty minutes to say so.
