 - **A-251** (§17, §383, §437; principle 8) The finding `branch-unprotected` has scope `merge`, id the owner,
   repository and branch escaped as one key name (`<owner>~<repository>~<branch>`), severity warning, and that scope
   and id as its subject.
+- **A-252** (§354, A-167, A-174, A-226, A-243; principles 1, 2 and 7) The composition step's machines are the nodes
+  whose placement of the module names the step's branch in the seat's assignments (no branch read as the trunk); a
+  run on request on an unwatched branch takes the nodes placing the module on the trunk. Each request's cases and seats
+  come from the step's catalog revision through mesh-catalog's `revision` (each entry's manifest digest and verdict,
+  its `definitions`), depth compose, the one machine, one case `change`. A machine's node-engine build is what the
+  assigner keeps from the node-engine seat's own events, never read from the node-engine's bucket; where the step's
+  revision's node-engine entry differs from the trunk's, that build serves every machine. One run ask per machine.
