This adds a dated entry (2026-10-09) to issue 319's 01-diagnosis.md. It changes nothing else.

A new module. The controller builds a new module, sends it nowhere and opens no walk. mesh-delivery's MovesNothing() counts Plan.New as something to move, so the unwalked rule holds the delivery. This is read from the code.
The controller's own merges (a guess, not proved). SourceMoved returns without a plan when the modules are "already built from it" or when the merge is read as history. deliveryWalking() links a walk only to the delivery whose merged_as equals the walk's commit, so a later walk never closes an earlier merge's delivery.
Four covered deliveries were closed with stop on the operator's word, before this issue was found. Their merged pull requests now carry mesh/delivery = error, "stopped: covered: …". Open D14 conditions went from 11 to 7.
The seven still held are listed with why each is held and why it was not stopped.

The four checks pass (records, index, cycle, words). Please do not merge without a person's review.

Issue 319: record why no walk opened, and the four held deliveries closed with stop

A new module counts as something to move, so its delivery is held; a later walk
reaches only the delivery whose merge is its commit. Four covered deliveries were
stopped before this issue was found, and their merged pull requests now say error.

to-be 55: a failed whole-set rule is a warning to the operator and leaves the module healthy; cited is judged in the review (issue 504) #325
