Rewrite the flat three-node whole-mesh-full (separate anchor, one public segment)
into production's real shape: two segments and one access point. novox sits on
the routable `hosting` segment and IS the anchor — it runs the substrate, its own
service set, the overlay hub and public ingress; there is no separate anchor node.
ace, shanks and g14 sit on the household `home` segment behind a NAT gateway,
reachable from outside only through what they dial out to.
The bed drives, and verifies, the thing the flat beds never could: the WireGuard
overlay forming ACROSS the access point — a home node dialling novox's public hub
endpoint out through the gateway's masquerade, the handshake completing through the
NAT, the keepalive holding the hole open. Phase A proves it (handshake state + a
ping over the overlay) before any heavy module lands; Phase B converges both server
sets. With MESH_LAB_KEEP the instance is raised under a fixed id and left standing.
Collapsing the substrate onto novox exposed real facts the separate-anchor beds
never hit, fixed here:
- the substrate bundle advertises the broker at 192.0.2.10 (the old anchor); a
token carries that verbatim as the endpoint a node dials, so with the substrate
on novox it must be novox's own public address. Rewritten at apply (the cert is
fingerprint-pinned, not hostname-checked, so only the address needs correcting).
- the two provider host-port collisions with the co-located substrate: postgres
5432 vs the store's 127.0.0.1:5432, lavinmq 5672 vs the broker's 127.0.0.1:5672.
Both provider host publishes are remapped off the substrate's ports.
And a lab limitation this first large-union bed exposed: the image registry VM took
the profile's default `dir` pool and a ~10GiB root, which the ~28GiB union of both
server sets overflows ("no space left on device"). raiseRegistry now places the
registry on the scenario's copy-on-write pool with a sized (default 80GiB, thin)
root disk, MESH_LAB_REGISTRY_DISK overridable.
