computers: a part marker is its own asset, under the operation it serves
Several Telesis markers serve one operation number - 0613, 0615 and WJPRT each have more than one - so treating the operation as the marker collapsed separate devices into a single record. Their configurations differ by COM port, so in the backup history they overwrote each other, and no question about an individual marker could be asked at all: how many there are, which port one is on, which one failed. There is one marker per PC, which makes the PC the marker's identity, so the collector can mint the marker the same way it already mints a CMM or a Keyence unit for a metrology PC. A marker PC now gets a Part Marker machine asset, the PC controls it, and the marker is partof the operation whose number the PC reports. An operation holds any number of markers. A marker PC therefore does not claim the operation directly. controls propagates through partof, which reference-data already seeds, so control of the operation still follows from controlling its marker - without two markers contesting a link only one of them can hold. Backups from a marker PC resolve to the marker rather than the operation, and fall back to the machine number whenever the marker cannot be resolved: no hostname on the payload, a lean build without the computers or machines plugin, or a marker PC that has not reported to the computers collector yet. Filing under the operation is the old behaviour and beats rejecting a backup. Moving a marker to another operation archives the old membership rather than deleting it, so where a marker used to live stays answerable.

mints a CMM or a Keyence unit for a metrology PC: the PC `controls` the

marker, and the marker is `partof` the operation it serves. Because `controls`

propagates through `partof`, control of the operation still follows from

controlling its marker, and two markers on one operation no longer contest a
