+included, the node-engine's own builds as every other, never by a module's name (ADR 0624 §1; ADR 0601 §4). The
+builder writes into every build key each reference form a counted node-engine states, beside the new form, which it
+writes only once every present node-engine states it (ADR 0618 §2); a counted node whose engine states nothing counts
+as stating the baseline's forms, and a node leaves the count only when it is retired, never because it is away (ADR
+0624 §1). Of the forms kept, the oldest a counted engine states is written into the build key's single reference
+(ADR 0605 §9) and the others are listed beside it, so an engine that predates the list still fetches the build (ADR
+0624 §3). The assigner holds a node's want for a build's reference forms only when that node's engine states none of
+them (ADR 0624 §2); a hold for a manifest word or a seat name the engine does not state stays as ADR 0614 §4 has it.
