mesh/state.get, put, delete, keys and watch on the stdio channel, from the buckets the membership issues. A watch hands the current values without deletions, then every change, and is answered once the current values are delivered. Refused with the reason: state not issued, a reader's write, a value with a credential-named field — the bus alone would answer a refused write with a timeout.
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.
