A launched bundle's mesh/subscribe binds the module's own durable consumer — EVENTS, <node>_<module>,
by name as the module's own runtime bound it, so nothing is lost or replayed in the move — and every
event goes to each child of the module that subscribed as mesh/event, acknowledged only when all
answered, negatively acknowledged after a short delay when one failed or died, terminated when it is
not an event. mesh/ask calls a tool as the module. Every launched bundle is started again when it
exits, with backoff, since long-running code waits for no call. Requires SDK 0.1.6.
The toolchain image installs from this package.json with a range; unchanged, Docker reused the
cached install and the image kept SDK 0.1.3 after 0.1.5 was published. Bundles copied that copy, so
a launched bundle registering its seat first served the seat's verbs as its own tools. Requiring
0.1.5 says what the runtime and its bundles need, and invalidates the cached layer.
One repository, two modules (ADR 0069). `node-tools/` holds the runtime — its code, tests, package
and the manifest of the module the controller composes a process for on every machine it is
assigned to: a bundle of `src/main.js`, the interpreter as a package, a place for the node's
credential, the loopback port the console declared, and leave to call every tool. Nothing about
how it runs: which bundles to load, where the credential is and whose machine it is are the
controller's to compose (WP2). The root module `mesh-tools` keeps the two images TypeScript
bundles are compiled in and a module's own service may run in; it is no longer how tools reach a
node.
As node-tools, `serve` is also the console (ADR 0175 §6): the same process answers MCP on
loopback for whoever is on the machine, through which the tools it serves can be called. A
module's own runtime in a container keeps serving without a listener.
The toolchain image now carries /app/runtime — a package.json saying the compiled files are ES
modules and the production node_modules — for the builder to copy into every TypeScript bundle,
so a bundle unpacked on a machine starts (ADR 0188 §5; the builder's side is the controller's).
Proven here by compiling node-tools with the toolchain's exact flags and starting the result.
The AMQP probe script is gone with the bus it probed.
