A module has exactly one durable consumer, and each subscribe() started its own reader of it. Two
readers split the stream between them, and a reader that receives a message its own pattern does not
match acknowledges it — which is the right answer for a filter wider than anything registered, and
silent loss when the message was another handler's. The first module to subscribe twice would have
dropped roughly half of each kind of event with nothing reporting it.
Every registration is now dispatched from one reader, and a message is acknowledged once every handler
it is for has taken it.
The runtime gains `prepare`, which brings this module's state to the shape this version needs and
exits (novox/hq ADR 0135). The entrypoints come from MESH_PREPARE, which a module's own image names
beside the entrypoints it already lists there — the module knows which of its files prepares its
state and nothing else could. No broker is connected: preparation runs before the version that would
use it. An empty list fails rather than passing quietly, because the mesh asks this only of a module
whose manifest says it prepares something, and exiting 0 would let that version serve against a
state nobody shaped.
Every module that dialled the new bus failed its handshake with "wrong version
number": the runtime pinned the server's certificate by a raw TLS connection to a
port on which the server speaks first, in the clear. The pin is taken after the
INFO line now, on the same socket, and then the real connection verifies against
exactly that certificate.
And the old transport is deleted — its client, its tests, its dependency — with
the wire-compatibility pins that only existed for the move (novox/hq ADR 0131,
design 28 task 5.5). A credential names the bus, and there is one.
The retry loop treated everything but a cert-pin mismatch as transient,
so a refused login (revoked/mis-sealed credential) or a malformed broker
URL retried for ever logging 'not reachable yet' — the silent
non-progress the fix set out to remove, and a contradiction of its own
docstring. fatalBrokerReason now classifies those three as fatal and
everything else (connection refused, timeout, DNS) as retryable, with a
unit test covering the split — the honest proof the bed cannot give,
since it only ever starts the consumer after the broker is up.
The pin case is now a typed PinMismatchError caught by instanceof, not a
prose substring a reword could silently downgrade to an infinite retry
against an impostor. Added a little jitter so modules do not stampede a
recovering broker in lockstep.
