A round in which no PING reached the laptop's console within the 750 ms window was taken as the mesh's answer that nothing is there, and replaced the index: every seat and module call was refused for five seconds at a time. Discovery now waits up to its patience for a first PING, a round that heard nothing is not kept, a runtime not heard this round is resolved from what it announced last (said with its age), and a round that misses runtimes is logged once. A PING carries a digest of what the instance serves, so an unchanged announcement is not pulled again every round (some 880 kB to the laptop).
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.
