Host-less be: (St.1's local keeper) recurses into submodules but fetches only the
sub's refs+pack, NOT its objects — so be get be:<parent-with-sub> aborts rc 157
sub checkout: object not found … KEEPNONE, while file:<parent> clones clean. A
second gap: a co-resident-shard clone-from-subdir (be:<git2> into an existing-store
subdir) silently lands no shard where file: did. Both are pre-existing on trunk
(2ea762c2), URI-007-class. They block URI-006 St.2: removing the file: clone
path forces ~20 sub/clone tests onto be:-local, which can't yet serve sub objects.
Decision (user 2026-06-22): be: MUST fetch submodule objects. Method: Issues.
file:-clone removed, 20 tests must use be:
