Issue 1585, S19: the strict parser, every manifest problem function and the judge's tables (192 declarations,
about 5,200 lines) and their 244 tests leave; composition keeps its own refusals and the helpers it uses. The
catalogue's tests decode the manifests they build. ParseManifest, ParseManifestWith, ParseManifestForInputs,
CatalogueProblems and the rest are gone; mesh-delivery-indexer/judge holds them.

messenger invoked seat:node-engine.root-free while nothing answered it, and Telegram held every ask that offers an
approval, silently. Nothing judged a seat:<seat>.<verb> invoke beyond its spelling: not that the seat exists, that
it promises the verb, nor that anything holds it.
Quick fix: messenger asks the controller's root-free (mesh-catalog bc271896) and the engine announces its seat as
discovery reads it (mesh-host 7ecf7ba). Thorough fix, chosen because an invoke nothing answers fails only at the
call, silently for whoever waits on it: CatalogueProblems refuses every seat verb a module or one of its processes
invokes whose seat no module declares and the mesh does not define, whose seat does not promise the verb, or whose
seat no module claims (a seat every node's engine holds, ADR 0563 §1, is held). Over some manifests alone a seat
whose holder was not given is a note (IsUndeclaredSeat). Over every manifest of mesh-catalog, mesh-control and
mesh-delivery today it refuses nothing.
catalogue.ControllerMirrors and StateReadsNothingDeclares go, and the catalogue pass
no longer judges a read against the owner's manifest: an owner's announcement and its
own announcement test hold what it keeps.
