+ * A mesh, raised from nothing, joined by two machines, delivering a credential neither the mesh
+ * nor the broker can read.
+ *
+ * Everything before this proves a part. This proves the parts meet — which is the thing the
+ * project keeps saying cannot be checked any other way (novox/hq ADR 0001: every fault of
+ * 2026-08-22 was found in production because nothing could be stood up locally).
+ *
+ * It needs a host binary and the substrate bundle:
+ *
+ *   MESH_LAB_HOST_BINARY=.../mesh-host
+ *   MESH_LAB_BUNDLE=.../examples/substrate-first-node.lock
+ *
+ * The bundle's image references are rewritten to the ones this scenario's own registry serves.
+ * A digest belongs to whatever registry serves it, so a committed bundle names a registry that is
+ * not this one — rewriting is what makes it applicable rather than a placeholder to tidy away.
