After the controller, nothing makes a pair row for a new consumer, so a need whose provider offers no credential
(form none) was composed with a stand-in on both ends and the node-engine held the consumer (issue 1126:
mesh-cli on ace, "stands in for the grant of mcp-endpoint"). The vault never mints for form none, so such a need
now composes with no credential: the consumer's need carries none, the provider's grant carries the consumer
and nothing sealed, neither is named foreseen, CredentialsNeeded asks the vault for neither, and no empty grant
file is written.

influxdb and unifi publish bare ports that mesh-placement assigns none: the machine runs them at
the software's own number, so a plan refusing them held their whole plan for a route that works.
route-proxy served every route at the software's own port (gitea's 3000, published at 20000;
grafana's 3000 on another machine, published at 20012) and public sites answered 502. The plan's
contribution now carries the port the placement assigned, the number ${port:N} gives the module,
and a composition for plans refuses a port none assigned by module, node and port.

The assigner's rule 8 waited for a key for every `requires`, while the plans named only the needs of handed modules:
every new build of grafana, dnsmasq, mesh-knowledge, mesh-mail and the builders waited for a key nobody would make,
and grafana, not handed, had no plan, so no route key and no route on route-proxy.
catalogue.Keyed is the rule (a need a module answers is keyed when its consumer is handed or the provider's helper
answers it), catalogue.Awaited the same rule from manifests for the assigner, and a module not handed now has a plan
for what a helper answers of it. Handed modules' plans are unchanged.
Quick fix: drop the missing-key check from rule 8. Thorough fix (chosen): one rule in mesh-sdk all three parts use,
since the kind (three parts deciding the same set apart) already drifted once and hid failures as waits.

On 2026-10-30 at 21:04 mesh-self-check (ace) and mesh-conditions, mesh-healers (novox) were placed before
their bus accounts were issued. Each was held for "needs a secret called broker and none was made"; its bare
stub then lost its own secrets and was refused by ownRuntimes ("runs as its own account and declares no own
secret broker"), a refusal no culprit takes, so 74 modules on ace and 79 on novox failed. A held runtime's stub
met the same kind earlier today ("its build produced 0 bundle(s)").
Quick fix: let the bare stub keep its broker own secret, for this one rule.
Thorough fix (chosen, the fourth of the kind today): a held module's stand-in (Stubbed) has no runtime
composed at all, so no rule about its runtime, bundle or broker can refuse it: ownRuntimes passes it over and
runtimeProcess composes none for a held runtime (what runs of either is carried, as before). A module of its
own account left without its runtime by a held runtime is refused with a typed NoRuntimeToRunError, which makes
the held runtime the culprit, so those modules are held after it and the node composes the rest.

novox's seed p-20261028t231141-ec84b4 refused 11 modules "what it composes of ..., held, is not what runs of them":
de-spiegel's hold spread through mailu to postgres, nftables and route-proxy, and from postgres to every consumer, and
gitea, held so, refused the node: "its credential of postgres-database is handed to the provisioner and the module is
not: nothing would fill it". Three rounds each moved the error. The kind: a held module still took part in the
composition as a dependence, so its hold spread.
- The quick fix: let heldAsToday also follow dependsOnHeld's words, and skip the handed refusal for gitea. It moves the
error once more and leaves every node's applying path holding consumers.
- The thorough fix, chosen: a held module composes only as what runs of it. composeEach no longer compares the
composition with each held module as its stub (dependsOnHeld removed): a consumer or collector composes against what
runs of the held module like any other module, and a real difference is still a named difference in the answer, a
module's own refusal still its refusal. A stub (compose.Stub, catalogue.Manifest.Stubbed) leaves the credentials and
own secrets it would hand the provisioner out of its plan as they run, never refused for want of a plan. Only what a
held module's new manifest says to others in their own files is still held behind it (dependents: the provider of
what it contributes to, the filter where it listens), which heldAsToday already follows.
Tests: rows added to existing tests (a held provider with a binding consumer, which the old code held in the seed's
words; a held feeder of a collector; a held module with a handed credential and own secret). No new test function.
Seals are reused and compared by slot (resource, field), never across resources;
one rule says which resolved config values are laid; a seat path that steps back
is owned by the seat it steps back for, whatever the seat order; a folded module
of an old-form build is composed from what runs of it; the operator export's file
is carried as it runs; a differing resource names its differing JSON paths, found
before its bodies are cut, and an answer is fitted to the node's key.
