jschoubben 200249a84f Let the TypeScript mesh client take every role's tools from the console on its machine, so it asks the controller for none (issue 1955, ADR 0571 clause 5)
The Go console answers mesh/seats beside MCP's methods from mesh-sdk's seat
definitions and placement's seat-holders. The console test that runs bundles
expects the unread seat-holders line beside ghost.
