A group of the controller, the node-engine and the lab, each ready, was
refused as a cycle: built by put the controller's member first, engine
before controller the node-engine's. ADR 0249 ranks the rules (declared,
then built by and version skew, then engine before controller) and
supersedes ADR 0239's sentence that made a declared order against an
inferred one a cycle; design 47 says the precedence. Resolved by
mesh-controller #134 and mesh-catalog #119, replay R309 (mesh-lab #64).
Store-bound packages ran five to seven times slower there while the rest
ran alike: the throwaway store flushes to a disk the mesh's own data keeps
busy. And a holder recreated mid-check left its store and bus running.
The branch building ADR 0169 carried a fix making a node's declaration
consumer as it enrols. The controller already asserts every node's
consumer before each send, and the self-check's healer asserts a missing
one again, so the fix is dropped rather than merged and the record says
why. The installer now places the bus's accounts at genesis.
Two incidents in two days had one shape: a change took effect that nobody saw first (issues 241
and 304). Three guards where the change is made — a settings layer read before it is replaced, a
push that says what it will change, a running module's data move acknowledged — each silent when
nothing is at stake. Accepted by the operator on 2026-10-08.
To-be 44 is in progress in mesh-controller (feat/no-change-takes-effect-unseen), migration 0078,
fitted onto what the controller does since: a whole-mesh push that says so and leaves a machine
waiting for a gate, a person's push that says what it recreates (ADR 0242), a named push's cascade.
The decision index is generated (ADR 0248), so no line is added to its README.
303: a media server's previews were reached through a link its container never mounted — fixed by
mounting them. 304: settings set replaces the whole layer with nothing to read it first and no
history. 240 is fixed by mesh-controller#47; 242 has backups running and records what the rollout
taught. (First opened as 245 and 246; main has since taken both numbers, and 302 was the last.)
292 and 298 resolve with replays now registered in mesh-lab. The other fixed
core issues say why no replay can be laid over the commit before their fix. The
rest are re-checked against main.
The operator asked on 2026-10-08 for the deprecated issues to be gone. In hq an issue
is closed, never deleted, so each one is resolved with its fix, closed wontfix with a
reason, or re-checked against main and the live mesh.
301: S15 counted the operator's pushes of recorded builds, the word ADR 0242
asks for, as repairs and wanted a healer for three causes. 302: the lab's
replays register was never compiled before a merge, because its check ran in
the TypeScript toolchain. To-be 45 §7 and §9 say how each is now decided and
checked.
Research 033 measured the laptop's VPN client and the mesh overwriting each
other's resolver file in nine of nine sessions, each time cutting off one
kind of name. The operator chose a resolver module on a node seat of its
own, installed only where something requires split-dns, with the VPN
client's module carrying the adapter. Graduates research 033 into to-be 50,
and amends connectivity §2, to-be 48 §10, the seats and the glossary.
The controller that merged (mesh-controller #116) dropped the staged seat and
marked both verbs optional, stored in the seat's row and read back optional.
words.py matched a retired word only when nothing followed it, so the
plural of every retired word passed. The pattern now takes s or es on the
last word; 14 uses in 9 documents are reworded, two of them 'the hosts'
for the node-engines.
Design 33 said a seat's verbs change additively, and section 3 made each
one a condition of holding, so a verb added in the controller and served
from the catalogue could land in neither order. It happened three times on
2026-10-07. Section 7 now says the three steps and how each is checked.
The written decision index is the one file every decision PR edits, at the
end of its topic, so on 2026-10-07 each merge forced the others to rebase
and be checked again. The diagnosis weighs four fixes and recommends
generating the index on read.
The agent reached machines over ssh because search never found the verbs by the commands it knew.
Records the three rules (generated instead-of table, search by replaced command, the shell guard
with the operator's recorded override) and how each is checked; to-be 36 names it.
