// The mesh's tools found by address, not announced whole (novox/hq ADR 0195, to-be 34 §3a).
//
// The console announces five tools. Everything the mesh answers is reached through them by one
// address per layer:
//
//	<seat>.<verb>              a seat held once for the mesh — its holder answers
//	<node>/<seat>.<verb>       a seat held once per machine — that machine's holder answers
//	<node>/<module>.<tool>     a module assigned to a machine — that assignment answers
//	<module>.<tool>            also, for a module whose instances are interchangeable (ADR 0160)
//
// A module that is not interchangeable is called with its machine or refused, naming the machines
// it runs on: "whichever answers" is no answer for state a machine holds.
//
// Every discovery verb asks the mesh when it is called — kept a few seconds at most, never for a
// session — so a tool that arrived a minute ago is found without the client reconnecting.
