The operator, 2026-10-30: an Approve must be acted on and known at once, and a session should hear approval requests. Adds mesh-delivery-gate.approval (approved, or approved and not handed past 60 s) and, one family per asker that uses the operator-channel seat, operator-channel.asked.<asker> and operator-channel.decided.<asker>. Named one by one (ADR 0367 §2). Needs mesh-catalog fix/turn-handed-on-approve first: the gate's approval event and the seat's asked event are declared there.
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.
