The derived-value record is renumbered a second time: the key-value-buckets
record took 0201 while this waited to merge, as the bundles record took 0188
before it. Both times free when chosen, taken by the time it landed. cycle.py
caught it; three repositories cite this record, so the number matters.
225 — a provisioner has not been able to read its grant secrets since 01:30,
when a module's own code left its container and the files stayed root's. Four
thousand refusals, each worded as patience, and two consumers unserved. Not
from ADR 0202 or 0189, which landed hours later; dates in the report.
226 — the store's sweep stops at the first reference recorded with an address
and collects nothing. A guard that cannot tell 'I will not ask about this'
from 'it would not answer' stops the wrong amount of work.
227 — the photo app's admin client asks for the port the proxy holds. A module
pinned months behind carries everything its branch gained, the first time
anything makes it move.
ADR 0201 gains the boundary found reading it back: a consumer keeping several
holders of a deriving provider is refused, because the two ends have no way
to agree. ADR 0189 gains two consequences — the sweep is bounded because it
runs inside a build, and an apply arriving mid-window reopens it.
That last one is issue 224, recorded rather than fixed: the host's rule for a
stopped container is to replace it, and while-stopped is the first thing that
makes a stopped container intentional. Both candidate fixes are decisions with
their own cost. Nothing is worse than it was; the store has never collected.
The bundles refactor took 0188 on main while this waited in a pull request,
and the mesh's own code cites that one, so this record moves. Only the number
moved; the decision is the one taken on 2026-10-02, and the record says so.
Issue 202 re-checked against the refactored main: the fault stands, and the
test that surfaced it now fails one step earlier on issue 203's new credential
guard. Proven again past both — mint the credential, compose twice, and all
eight of dnsmasq's resources appear only with the setting set. ADR 0164 is
noted as the decision that answers half of it, and is not built.
Issue 108: the artifact store has never collected anything. Fifty-three
repositories on the machine that serves everything else, and the only outcome
of leaving it is a full disk reported as somebody else's failure.
The mesh decides what may go — from its own build records, so it never names
a digest it did not put there — and the store reclaims the bytes in a nightly
window with its server held still. Deletion on the one door takes nothing a
push did not already have.
Designs 18 and 20 amended; issue 108 resolved.
Also issue 202, found running the controller's suite: a module whose required
setting nobody set is left out of the machine in silence, and dnsmasq became
that module this morning.
Issue 124: a value the mesh's own rule produced reached neither end as a
statement. The object store's provisioner derived each consumer's bucket in
its own code; all three consumers transcribed the rule into their own
definitions, one of them wrong, and each of the three also named the machine
it happens to run on.
A served value may now name the consumer the mesh is serving. Design 27
amended; issue 124 resolved.
Found preparing WP4, before the first module's bundle was loaded beside the runtime's own:
proven with a two-copies probe, located in mesh-tools (node-tools), fixed by mesh-tools #32.
Design 38 WP4 records it and the two things the package left to the module — escalation
through sudo, and the filter file read from the manifest's path rather than a container env.
Another session's 0169 landed first. The collision check from issue 155
covered issue folders only; it covers decision records now, and would have
refused this.
