Hi team, a question about networking. If you had a node booting is there a chance that another node could force it to join a mesh before it’s started all the apps?

I should add that the distribution configuration is set as command line arguments

Absolutely. As soon as net_kernel starts (as a part of a kernel application), other nodes may start connecting and forming a mesh.
This is expected and desirable behaviour, for example, to maintain mnesia replication, or use Distributed Applications.

If you need to change that, you’d need to start distribution dynamically (via net_kernel:start).
