A JetStream 503 or a timeout at the follow (a bus right after its boot) left the module with no membership for good, since Follow runs once per module and the stream fallback is gone. The read is now tried again with a growing wait (1 s doubling to 30 s) until it watches the key or the connection closes; the failure is said once, and its reading once it succeeds. Tests: none added; a step added to an existing unit test (TestAModuleHearsEveryStreamItsMembershipNames), which fails without the retry.

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.
