A local name such as records is no provision: on Requires it would send
the placement looking for a provider nothing offers (the lead's ruling on
issue 1966 B1). BusState alone holds the typed entries.
The words of design 25 § 12.1 and ADR 0597 §1-2 as constants, and a
ledger's types (schema, operations each with its effect, indexes) on the
bus-state entry, so the judge, the bus module and the tool runner read one
contract. No bound and no rule: those are the judge's (ADR 0578 §7).
ADR 0595 §1: the typed long form {name, storage, template, options,
configuration} decodes into Manifest.BusState, its name also on Requires;
a key it does not know is set aside and named, never refused (ADR 0578 §3).
The requirements tests are one table.

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.

The upgrade verb's compare answers each node's own composition and the assigner's findings, not
a policy against the controller's; tokens no longer says whether issuing is on, since no lease
gates it; the composed configuration names the grants part, not the controller (ADR 0590).

ADR 0590 clause 3 ends the take-over and the hand-back, and with them compare: the readers follow
the keeper, and config its own sources, with no switch to ask. Issue 1126 B1.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfJ9Gum47zkFKWRaovL
The controller ended by its unassignment (ADR 0590): its user, its lease's cut and reads, the
operator's hand path to its compositions and its writers' rows go; an enrolling node enrols
through mesh-enrolment alone; the desk's prompt stays the vault's alone (DeskOnly). The golden
lists are now this composer's own, taken first from the controller's with its user removed.
The bus module's tools may remove the controller's leftovers by name, consumers, CONTROL,
ASSIGNMENTS, its 17 buckets and each node's declaration files' bucket, under the word
controller-leftovers (clause 6). The provisioner client reads placement in place of the
assignments mirror. Issue 1126 B3a, B5.

The controller ended by its unassignment (ADR 0590), so its seat, the grants seat's lease write and
hand-back and placement's take-over from it serve nothing. The dependence check becomes strict
(clause 5): a read of the lease, a claim, a require or the module itself is refused like any other
declaration. held and artifacts-gone are the artifact sweep seat's (ADR 0571 §2). Issue 1126 B1, B2.

The operator's decision of 2026-11-02 01:05: issue requires overlay_key, the machine's tunnel public key; the vault's
enrolment-token tunnel declares all five fields a token needs (hub_key, hub_endpoint, address, key, range). An
add-node is proposed at the yes with the tunnel key alone; the identity keys come whole at redeem or not at all. A new
remove-node, mesh-enrolment's alone on the same warrant and the proposal's one change, takes a joining node running
nothing off placement when its enrolment ends unconfirmed (RemovedNodes names the key the holder deletes; LayChanges
lays nothing for it and refuses a node that runs modules or holds seats). NodeLogin gains Acts, the hand acts that
warranted its rotations. Tested as rows of TestPlacement, TestNodeRecord and the two seat tests; no new test function
(1438 unit tests).

Lead's decision on milestone point 7 (a progressive insight of ADR 0587 §3): mesh-enrolment builds the joining
node's first tunnel at issue and passes it to the vault's enrolment-token as `tunnel`, an object of hub_key,
hub_endpoint and address, each required; the vault puts it in the token (delivery.TokenTunnel). Tested as a row of
TestTheVaultsSeatPromisesItsIntakeVerbs; no new test function (1438 unit tests).

ADR 0587 §7: at redeem mesh-enrolment proposes one change, the node with its decided fields (the approved address,
never the hub) and the public halves of its keys, carrying the issue's warrant; mesh-placement checks the warrant
names this node and address and that the caller is mesh-enrolment, and writes the key with no ask of its own
(changing ADR 0567 §2 and §5 for this one change by this one caller). The proposal codec refuses an add-node beside
other changes, without a warrant, or whose warrant names another node or address, and a warrant on any other
proposal; AddNodeRefusal adds the caller's check for the assigner; LayChanges adds the node and refuses one placed
already. Tested as rows of TestPlacement's proposal subtest, no new test function.

ADR 0583 §1 (insight 2026-11-01) keeps which login a node uses in the vault's state node-logins, one key per node:
the login in use, the one rotating and the stage (begun, ready, confirmed), with the list revision that held both.
§2, §3 and §5 give the vault's seat rotate-node (with the recorded hand act's id), node-account-confirm (the caller
is the proof) and abandon, optional until the vault serves them; the events rotation-begun, node-account-ready,
rotation-done and the engine's finding node-account-fallback are named beside them. The codec refuses a stage without
a rotation and a rotation to anything but the node's other login; an empty rotating reads as none. Tested as rows of
TestNodeRecord and TestTheVaultsSeatPromisesItsIntakeVerbs, no new test function.

ADR 0587 §3 and §5 (changing ADR 0561 §5) have the vault make the token and its hash (enrolment-token), answer it
sealed to the operator key for tokens to relay (sealed, §8), drop both at every end (drop), and mint, answer again
and retire a joining node's account (node-account), with mesh-enrolment their only caller; sign names mesh-enrolment
for a joining node's certificate (with the serving key it presented, since the node has no record yet) and for a
redeem answer. Both verbs optional until the vault that runs serves them. Their answers' shapes are in go/delivery.
Tested as rows of TestTheVaultsSeatPromisesItsIntakeVerbs, no new test function.

ADR 0587 §1 makes joining a machine a seat held once by the module mesh-enrolment, the vault's only caller for its
enrolment verbs. The seat is in the mesh's own set, its verbs not optional (the seat is new with its holder), and
its events the five that carry no secret. The test is a block in TestHoldingAMeshSeatRequiresServingItsVerbs, no new
test function.

ADR 0571 §13: the lease write's own delivery drops every entry but the builder's artifacts-gone, the artifact
sweep's collect and the engine's following of the controller's user list. Every module of this group stops
its read, invoke or consume of the controller (pacman, the keeper, mesh-config, the hand-act log's readers, the
watcher, messenger, the assigner, mesh-grants), so the list shrinks to the three and a read put back is
refused in either phase. Supersedes the keep of pacman's read at mesh-delivery 4a84370.
Tests: rows of TestTheLeaseWritesCheckJudgesEveryDependencyOnTheController changed (the keeper's read put back
is refused; the sweep's collect passes); no new test function.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfJ9Gum47zkFKWRaovL
ADR 0571 §13 names a test in mesh-catalog, mesh-delivery and mesh-tools that refuses a manifest depending on
the controller beyond the lease and the entries kept. The judge lived in mesh-grants (leasecheck.go); it moves
here whole (the kinds, the phases, KeepList, EndedBy, Dependencies, Judge) with ManifestRefusals(manifests,
phase) for those tests. Kept is renamed KeptDependency (catalogue already has a Kept), and a gap is Unread.
mesh-grants re-exports it in its own commit; the keep list is the one at mesh-delivery 4a84370.
Test: TestTheLeaseWritesCheckJudgesEveryDependencyOnTheController, moved from mesh-grants'
leasecheck_test.go (its manifest rows and the keep-list test, which mesh-grants deletes), with the
conditions row of 774/S4/AC1 added; not a new test.

ADR 0582 clause 1 makes the lease write a verb of the seat mesh-grants: lease-write and lease-hand-back, each
taking a why, and the events lease-handed, lease-altered and removal-failed. The indexer's judge reads seats
through catalogue.SeatNamed, so it accepts mesh-grants' claim once it pins this head.
Test: TestTheGrantsSeatPromisesTheLeaseWrite (new), paid by merging the two ssh tests of filtering_test.go into
TestSSHIsOpenFromTheMeshEvenWhenNothingIsAssigned.

influxdb and unifi publish bare ports that mesh-placement assigns none: the machine runs them at

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.

A provider waiting for a yes said why only in its have's words; nobody could read the composition that waits beside
