zeekayandHanzo Dev 599a26cedf the runtime answers by name, so the declaration is the only registration
o11y's surface was stated twice: once as the implementation (367 routes through
routing.Router) and once as the module's own declaration of it (353 typed ops +
11 hatches + 3 probes, the same 367 addresses with an input, an output and their
prose). The declaration had to REACH the implementation, and the only way it
could was to speak HTTP to the WHOLE service — build a request, hand it to one
http.Handler that was the entire router, and let that router match the path a
second time to find the handler the declaration had already named. An in-process
round trip, across a net/http<->fasthttp bridge, through a recorder, to answer a
question the caller had the answer to.

A registration is a map from address to handler. routing.Table.Handler reads it
as one and o11y.SetRuntime hands the whole table over, so the second match is
gone and with it the failure class the reachability census exists for: a request
cannot lose its route to a router that is never consulted.

Two things could not be said before and now can:

  - "this address is not implemented." A declared address the runtime does not
    serve came back as the runtime's own 404, indistinguishable from a caller's
    typo. It is a nil at the seam now. The two sides HAD drifted: three addresses
    the declaration names {traceId} were registered {traceID}, invisible because
    a router matches by POSITION and a segment's name never reaches it.
  - "the runtime is right here." The standalone server IS the runtime and could
    not install itself as that one handler without an op relaying into the router
    already serving it, so it installed nothing — and every op on its /mcp
    surface and its by-name call plane answered 503 in the binary holding all 367
    handlers. It installs its own table now.

The address is stated ONCE, at the registration, and rides the call: claim.go's
verbs wrap every op in addressed, which puts the address into the context, and
relay reads it there. relay takes no method and no path — which door was knocked
on is not something an op's body decides. That retires 706 spellings of 367
addresses; the 119 hand-built concatenations are rendered by zip.Address from the
same input zip bound the segments into, so the round trip is exact by
construction rather than by eye.

Reached BY NAME there is no router in front of the handler, so the two chain
members that need the route — Audit keys its record on the template, Resource
resolves the declared resources — would read an empty one, silently. Table.Handler
hands back the chain carrying the template it was registered at, written through
coretypes.SetRoute: the same representation bind writes for a matched request,
one read on the other side. TestByNameCarriesTheSameRouteAsMatching drives both
doors against one registration and compares them to each other.

Addresses did not move: the census — 367 fiber routes, 367 declared, 353
operation ids — is byte-identical to the parent. 155 packages ok, 0 fail, the
same set by name as the parent.

wantQueryServiceRoutes closes the equality argument the sibling address test
makes. It rested on four facts and 134 was a sentence, so a route deleted in
pkg/query-service/app left both address tests green while the declaration went on
naming an address nothing serves — which costs more now that it is a 503 rather
than a 404.
