c136. Mechanic Access

From the c130 decisions walk with Mark, 2026-11-09, ruling on c130 D6 (Data). His words:

Three Sources is correct, even if we fold in plane later. We need the ability to point to a base url where we find a plane. That connection layer will need standardized credentials. It's incredibly useful to point to a running plane data thingy (what's this called?). I also like planning now for giving out mechanic access. I opened this access to Qpoint for three days while they fixed this documented problem or implemented this new feature, or hot-fixed this issue. I suppose we also need to specify these categories now so that build partners feel comfortable granting a documented level of access to their running data plane.

Asked where mechanic access is specified and built, Mark chose: its own cycle at stage 1.

Create a plan, ask any clarifying questions, suggest patterns I may not be considering.
