Resolve one node over an Input, its credentials as stand-ins and its settings (issue 1362). Ported from mesh-control 6c2a8d62 planFor. Nothing is made: a pair credential is how it stands (held, to make, only a person's to give, refused), never its value; keepRecorded is left to the caller, who puts the kept manifest in the Catalogue. The bus credential nobody issued and a given own secret under an old key are refused where the controller refuses them, in the rendering (issue 1364).
