mesh.claim
Claim repository paths for a session. An exclusive claim that meets a live exclusive claim of another session — on this runtime or any runtime this one has heard — is refused as `claim_conflict` with the claims it meets; an advisory claim is recorded and its overlaps reported. A claim lives while its session is open and its runtime beats: a crashed holder's claim expires everywhere on its own. Writes this runtime's journal only.

The key is what a later operation is addressed by — a claim is released by the key its acquisition returned, never by the local name it was given — and the stamp is what a caller waiting for a peer to catch up compares against.
