The four-node bed proves genesis entangled with three machines joining across a gateway, so the cheapest check of the install path costs a four-machine raise. This is genesis alone: one machine, the installer, and the verdict asked of the machine rather than inferred from an exit code.

Genesis moves into a shared routine both beds call, rather than being described a second time — a second description kept in step with the first is what put the whole procedure inside a fixture to begin with.

The scenario needs two things the first draft missed, and each cost a full raise to find: a way out to the internet, because the installer's first act is to pull the substrate, and a container runtime, because its first refusal is a machine that has none.

Verified: a single-node mesh raised end to end by the installer, control plane pivoted onto a digest its own registry assigned, temporary one retired.

The four-node bed proves genesis entangled with three machines joining across a

This is genesis alone: one machine, the installer, and the question asked of the
machine rather than inferred from an exit code.

Genesis moves into a shared routine both beds call, rather than being described a
second time here — a second description kept in step with the first is what put
the whole procedure inside a fixture to begin with.

The scenario needs two things the first draft missed, and both cost a full raise
to discover: a way out to the internet, because the installer's first act is to
pull the substrate; and a container runtime, because the installer's first refusal
is a machine that has none.
