mesh/state.create and mesh/state.put take ttl_seconds (mesh-sdk 32f5ce3's CreateTTL/RenewTTL contract); a bucket not declared key-ttl is refused, naming it; a watch hands an expired key as op "expire". Pins mesh-sdk 32f5ce3.
node-tools
The node's tool runtime as a module (novox/hq ADR 0175, to-be 38 WP3). Assigned to a machine, it is one process the host runs from this bundle, as the operator's account: it serves every assigned module's tools and every held seat's verbs on the bus, and answers MCP on the machine's loopback — the console (design 34). The controller composes the process (which bundles to load, where the credential is, whose machine it is); this manifest says only what the machine must have for it: the interpreter, a place for the credential, the loopback port, and leave to call every tool.
The code is the mesh-tools package in this directory; the module at the repository root,
mesh-tools, builds the images TypeScript bundles are compiled in. See the repository README.
