Found today: mesh-controller.push {node: novox} from the console answered "nothing serves mesh-controller.push@novox". The console moved every call's node into the subject (ADR 0159), a seat's verb included, so the mesh's own verbs that take a machine (push, assign, plan) could not be given one from the console at all.

A role's verb takes no machine from the console (the seat's scope decides); its arguments are its own and are handed through untouched. The MCP test fixture gains a push verb with a node of its own; the suite is green (27 tests).

A seat's verb keeps a node of its own; only a module's tool gives it to the subject 670b486ac0

The console moved every call's node into the subject (ADR 0159), so mesh-controller.push {node: x}
became a call to the seat's verb on machine x, which nothing serves — the mesh's own verbs could not
be given a machine from the console at all. A role's verb takes no machine from the console; its
arguments are its own.

The listing test indexes the module's tool after the seat's two verbs 809e2b11ec

The listing test tells the seat's two verbs apart: one keeps its own node, the other takes none ce8c37a7fc
