A bare `cotal console` now resolves from the mesh registry only — a stray local .cotal/ can neither hijack the target nor block it (default-occupied) — and with several meshes registered the TTY opens a mesh overview of every broker; pick one to drill into its spaces, b to come back.

What
A bare
cotal consolenow resolves from the mesh registry only — never the cwd — so a stray local.cotal/can neither hijack the target nor block it withdefault-occupied("another mesh is running at …"). With several meshes registered, a TTY opens a mesh overview of every broker on the machine (space · server · mode · root); pick one to drill into its spaces,bwalks back up. Piped/--plainstill resolves a single target (current, else a clear ambiguous error), and--space/--server/--credsbehave exactly as before.@cotal-ai/workspace: newresolveRegistryTarget()(registry-only, no cwd) andregistryTarget(entry);resolveMeshTargetshares the registry tail.@cotal-ai/cli: newMeshPickerlevel above the space picker; per-mesh connect failures render inline in the picker instead of exiting the TUI; the same admin-mint + preflight + stale-prune rules apply on entry.Why
The console is the read-only run-anywhere view. Local-project-wins target precedence makes sense for write commands (
spawn), but for the console it meant a leftover.cotal/dir anywhere up the tree could block the whole overview.Verified
pnpm typecheck+pnpm testgreen; preflight/connect/view smokes pass; spawn-from-anywhere smoke extended with registry-only resolution checks (34 checks)..cotal/,cotal consolejoins the registered mesh instead of erroring; with two registered meshes the picker → space overview → space console → back chain works against a live broker.
