+
+One file of milestone G's part of [design 47](../47-delivery-from-commit-to-delivered.md); the part opens at
+[G.md](G.md). Its design lines are numbered across every file of the part and cited as "design 47 G §n".
+
+*§522, §542 and §551 to §553 are the operator's answers of 2026-11-11 at 12:11, 12:33 and 12:41 CET at lead-47's terminal. §543 to §550
+answer what the four reviewers found in round 3 of [G-13](G-13-review-round-3.md) (§600 to §609), which has no round
+of its own after it. Every other line answers a question
+develop met after [G-11](G-11-develop-answers-review.md), of internal form only (playbook 07, step 0b), each the
+design's choice with its reason. What a question of another kind leaves open waits for the operator and is said in the
+line. The operator's answer of 12:55 CET (the recovery module, §554 and §555) and the
+review of §516 to §553, round 1 (§556 to §558), are in [G-14](G-14-recovery-module-and-review.md); the findings of
+that round are written into the lines they name, here. Questions that an earlier line already answers have no line here: develop reads that line.*
+
+## Kept data on the bus: restore points and what is set aside
+
+- §516 **A restore point's bytes, and the forms of `snapshot-kept` and `restore-kept`.** (§551, §554) The seat
+  `mesh-recovery`'s two verbs (§554) take and answer the forms mesh-contracts' definition gave the seat `mesh-broker`'s,
+  which move to `mesh-recovery` and which this line makes the design's: `snapshot-kept` takes `module`, `kept` (the
+  kept data's local name), `form`, `fingerprint`, `why` and `catch-up` as `{tool, arguments}` (§451); its point
+  (the module, the kept data, its form, the fingerprint, `snapshot`, `consumers` with each durable consumer's
+  stream, name and acknowledged sequence, `size` in bytes, `at` and `catch-up`) comes on its event `ended` (§554); `restore-kept` takes
+  `module`, `kept`, `form`, `fingerprint`, `why`, `from-backup` (yes or no) and `snapshot` (the restore point's name),
+  and refuses `aside-only` and `discard-aside`, answering `error` naming them: setting aside without restoring and
+  discarding an aside are the operator's hand tools alone (§554); its result (`restored`, `aside`, `missing`, true when the
+  point is not in the recovery module's directory, and `error`) comes on its event `restored`. Both verbs answer only
+  `accepted`, `busy` or `error` (§554). No argument `local-name` or `from` is taken, and a
+  catch-up is never text.
+  - **Where a point lives.** The recovery module takes a point through the bus's stream snapshot under its own account
+    (§554), one bus object of the kept data at a time (its stream, or the stream under its bucket or object store),
+    with ADR 0235 §10's pacing and §11's bounds, and writes it with the point's record under a temporary name, renamed to its own name only once the point is
+    whole (as ADR 0235 §2 writes the dump), in its own data directory, `points/<module>/<kept>/<form>-<fingerprint>`;
+    at its start it removes every point left under a temporary name, so a point cut off by a restart, the bus away or
+    its bound is never listed nor restored; each token escaped as a key's name is (§73) and a token that is
+    empty, `.` or `..` refused; that name is the point's `snapshot`.
+  - **Its copy.** That directory is an item of the recovery module's manifest `data`, backed up by the holder of
+    `node-backup` on its node as every item is (ADR 0404), which stores the copy and nothing else. When
+    `restore-kept` answers `missing`, the node agent calls it again with `from-backup: yes`: the recovery module asks
+    the seat `node-backup`'s `restore` of its item for that directory, which brings it back beside its path as that
+    verb always does, takes the point from there and restores it; when no repository snapshot holds it, `restored`
+    says `failed` with `restore point missing`, and §300 holds the revert.
+  - **The aside, and a restore that fails.** `restore-kept` sets the live kept data aside by taking a stream snapshot
+    of each of its bus objects into `aside/<module>/<kept>/<at>` in the same directory, reads the aside back to check it (`at` the UTC time written
+    `20261111T121200Z`, with `-2`, `-3` and on added when that name exists), only then removes the live objects, which needs no person's warrant, the data staying in the aside (the operator,
+    13:06 CET, §554),
+    restores the point under their names and sets each consumer to its recorded sequence. Each step is written first
+    in the aside's record (`set aside`, `removed`, `restored`): when a step after the removal fails, `restore-kept`
+    restores the aside under the live names and sets the consumers back before it answers `failed`, and at its start
+    the recovery module does the same for every aside whose record ends at `removed`, so a failed or stopped restore
+    never leaves the kept data gone. The aside's `id` is that directory's name, its `name` the bus name it was live
+    under, its `size` its bytes on disk; nothing of an aside stays on the bus. `recovery_discard_aside` (§554) removes that directory
+    and nothing else, an `id` holding `.`, `..` or `/` refused. A restore point is removed only as §551 says.
+
+  This completes §405 and §406. Why: the operator's answer of 12:55 CET (§554) puts the taking and restoring of a
+  module's kept data on the live bus on a module of its own; the server restores a stream only where no stream of that
+  name exists, so the live data is set aside as a snapshot before the point takes its name (develop questions BKP1,
+  BKP3 and NATS4's argument names; review round 1, running and testing 1, seams and tools' notes). How it is checked:
+  unit (mesh-recovery's contract), each verb's input and answer read, an input naming `from` refused; a node-engine's
+  `restore-kept` with `aside-only` or `discard-aside` refused, naming them; whole (recovery
+  module, backup holder, bus), a point is taken, its directory removed, brought back with `from-backup` and restored,
+  the live data's aside listed with its size and the consumer at its recorded sequence; a point missing from both says
+  `restore point missing`; a restore made to fail after the removal, and one stopped there and started again, leave
+  the live data as before; a point cut off half way is removed at start and never listed.
+- §517 **The recovery module lists what it holds.** The seat `mesh-recovery`'s read verb `kept-points` (class `read`,
+  §391's default callers) lists every restore point and aside in its directory with its module, kept data, form,
+  fingerprint, size and `at`, and the act that runs, with since when and what it waits on (§554); its tools are `recovery_kept_points`, which reads the same, and
+  `recovery_expire_points`, which runs §551's removal now (class `act`, §391's default callers, written in the
+  hand-act log). The directory is the one place they are kept, so no copy can list less: the backup holder keeps no
+  state of them (its `backed-up` lists the recovery module's item as any item, §302), and no `bus-points` state is
+  made. Why: a module's tools read everything it holds (*Tools are how a module is spoken to*), and the list is the
+  holder's own fact (ADR 0596 §2; develop question BKP2; review round 1, seams and tools 4). How it is checked: whole
+  (recovery module), `kept-points` lists a point and an aside with their sizes, an aside is gone after
+  `recovery_discard_aside`, and a restart lists the same.
+- §523 **A seat event whose subject has parts.** A seat definition's `subject` with `<part>` tokens (§397), such as
+  `mesh-recovery`'s `ended.<module>.<kept>` and `node-backup`'s `item-started.<node>.<module>` (§554), is said on
+  `mesh.seat.<seat>.event.` followed by the subject, each part filled in the definition's order: the seat
+  generator's subject function for the event takes each part as a string in that order and fills each as one token,
+  escaped as a key's name is (§73), refusing an empty part, `.` and `..`. A reader hears one module's events by the subject with
+  that module's tokens and `>` after them, and every module's by `*` for each part. Such an event has no key of its
+  own and is kept as its definition's `keep` says, or on EVENTS when it names no `keep` (§396). The holder's account
+  publishes it as a seat's holder publishes its seat's events today; no grant changes. Why: §397 fixes the subject's
+  words, not how a part is filled (develop question NATS4's wire). How it is checked: unit (seat generator), a subject
+  of three parts made in order and an empty part refused; whole (recovery module), `ended` heard by a reader of one
+  module's subject.
+
+## The tool runner and its bundles
+
+- §518 **A bundle's put and get sessions run on its channel to the tool runner.** A tools bundle reaches the tool runner
+  only over the channel the tool runner starts it with (its standard input and output) and holds no bus account, so
+  §345's put session and §490's get session run on that channel, as every `mesh/` call of a bundle does (ADR 0595
+  §9); `<bundle call subject>` in §457, §489 and §490 names that call, and no bus subject. A value at or under the
+  limit is put and got by one call, as today. Over it:
+  - **Whose object.** A session's `name` names an object of the bundle's own module alone: the tool runner resolves
+    it in that module's binding (its state's `<state>-objects` or its sent store), and refuses a name of another
+    module's, naming it. A put's whole size is bounded by that store's cap, and a put whose chunks pass it is refused
+    at the chunk that does, naming the store.
+  - **Put.** The bundle sends each chunk as the call `mesh/objects.put-chunk` with `name` (the object), `call` (the
+    bundle's id for this put), `seq` (from 1, one more each chunk), `last` (true on the last chunk alone) and `data`
+    (the chunk's bytes in base64, at most half the bus's maximum payload before encoding, §457). The tool runner
+    answers each with `{seq}` or `{error}`, the bundle sends the next only after a `{seq}`, and the answer to the last
+    is the put's answer; a `seq` that is not one more than the last taken is answered `{error}` naming both, and a put
+    not sealed within the call's bound is dropped (§345). The tool runner writes each chunk into the store as it takes it, through the
+    object store's own chunking, holding no more than one chunk in memory, and seals the object on the last. A put dropped at its bound has its written chunks purged by the tool runner,
+    which deletes the unsealed object; until then they count against the store's cap.
+  - **Get.** The tool runner answers the get call `{chunked: <count>, size, digest, call}` (§490), and the bundle asks
+    each chunk in order by the call `mesh/objects.get-chunk` with `call` and `seq`, answered `{seq, last, data}` or
+    `{error}`; the bundle checks the whole against `digest`, and a get not completed within the call's bound fails,
+    naming the object. The tool runner drops a get session it holds when the call's bound passes, or the bundle's
+    channel closes, whichever comes first.
+  - **The bound.** The call's bound counts once for the whole session, from its first chunk, never per chunk.
+
+  The headers `Mesh-Put-Seq` and `Mesh-Put-Last` of §457 are these fields `seq` and `last`. Nothing of a session is
+  on the bus, so §489's grants are not made and the grants part grants nothing for it. A module's process, which
+  holds a bus account of its own, writes and reads its objects on the bus through the object store package directly,
+  with the store's own chunking, and runs no session. The capability word `put-sessions` (§488) names these two
+  calls. This amends §345, §457, §489 and §490; in the get the bundle asks each chunk, since on that channel every
+  `mesh/` call is the bundle's. Why: the operator's answer to develop question D-13, chunks in order, each
+  acknowledged before the next, is kept whole on the one channel a bundle has (develop questions T-5 and T-7). How it
+  is checked: whole (mesh-sdk, tool runner), a value of a hundred times the limit, into a fixture state whose
+  `objects-max-mib` holds it, is put and got back whole by a bundle, its digest checked, a put naming another
+  module's object is refused, and a chunk out of order fails the put naming both sequences; the grants part's table
+  test grants no session subject.
+- §519 **A bundle's fingerprint is in the environment the node-engine composes.** The node-engine writes
+  `MESH_FINGERPRINT`, the fingerprint of the want it applies for the bundle's module, into each tools bundle's
+  composed environment, as it hands it to each process (§205); the tool runner starts each bundle with its composed
+  environment whole, and reads no catalog entry and no want for it. A bundle started with no value says `own build
+  unknown` (§424). This completes §424. Why: the want the node-engine applies is the one fact of which build a node
+  runs (§205; develop question T-12). How it is checked: whole (node-engine, tool runner), a bundle reads the
+  fingerprint of its module's want.
+
+## The node-engine and the want
+
+- §520 **`running` says a build's health, and the assigner reads health from it alone.** The node-engine seat's
+  `running.<node>.<module>` gains `healthy` (true or false), the health of the build that runs as the node-engine's
+  have holds it from the module's declared check (ADR 0240), and the node-engine says `running` again on the same
+  subject each time `healthy` changes, and for every module its have holds at its own start, so the stream, kept last per subject, holds each build's newest health.
+  `stopped` (§365, §404) is said only when the have no longer holds the module, never for an unhealthy build. A `running` with no
+  `healthy`, said by a node-engine of before G, reads as healthy while it stands, as `running` meant on main. The
+  assigner reads a provider's health for rule 5, the canary's for rules 3 and 4, and a put's end from these events
+  alone, read as §556 has it, and reads no have: a
+  provider of which nothing was heard counts as not healthy, so its consumers' new wants
+  are held as rule 5 holds any, and nothing falls back to the have. `SeatsToPassOn` reads no `healthy` (§459): an
+  unhealthy holder still holds its seat. The assigner's `reads` of the node-engine's have go. This amends §309 and
+  §404. Why: the assigner reads no other module's state (ADR 0596 §2), and a stopped build and an unhealthy one are
+  told apart (develop questions AS15 and AS16). How it is checked: unit (the node-engine seat's fixtures), `running`
+  with `healthy` read; whole (assigner, node-engine), a provider turning unhealthy holds a consumer's new want and its
+  recovery lets the want go, with the assigner's account holding no read of the have; whole (assigner, a
+  node-engine of before G), its provider's `running` with no `healthy` holds no consumer's want; a restarted assigner
+  holds nothing it did not hold before.
+- §524 **The node-engine checks a want's parts by their digests.** A composition's archive, process and container
+  resources name a source and a digest, not an artifact, so the node-engine matches no resource to a `parts` key. A want
+  with no `parts` (from an assigner of before G, or for a node whose record does not state `want-parts`, §525) is
+  applied as today, its resources fetched by their sources and checked by their own digests. A want with `parts` is
+  applied only when the digest of every resource it fetched is among the values of the want's `parts`, and
+  every value of `parts` is the digest of a resource it fetched; otherwise it applies nothing of that module and its
+  have says the phase `parts-differ`, naming the digest. `parts` stays keyed by `<module>:<artifact>` for people and
+  the delivery record. This completes §379. Why: the digest is what is fetched and checked (develop question H-8). How
+  it is checked: unit (node-engine), a want whose parts and fetched digests agree applies, and one with a fetched
+  digest outside `parts` or a part not fetched applies nothing, naming it; whole (node-engine of G), a want written by
+  an assigner of before G is applied.
+- §525 **A node-engine says it reads the want's new fields.** A node-engine of G states the capability `want-parts` in
+  its node record's capabilities (ADR 0614 §4, ADR 0618 §2), and the assigner writes `version`, `parts` and `kept-on`
+  (§526) into a node's want only while that node's record states it; that is §379's "once that node runs G's
+  node-engine". Why: ADR 0614 §4 has each node-engine state what it reads (develop question H-7). How it is checked:
+  unit (node-engine), the word stated; whole (assigner), a node whose record lacks it gets a want without the fields.
+- §526 **A want names the node that keeps a kept build.** For a kept build (§271) the assigner writes `kept-on`, the
+  build node the builder's `build.ended` names as keeping it (§379), into the want beside `parts`; the node-engine
+  fetches that build through the seat verb `kept-artifact` of that node, and fetches a want with no `kept-on` from the
+  store. Nothing else names the keeping node, the builder's `builds` going (§421). This amends §271's "the builder's
+  done key names it so with its digest". Why: ADR 0596 §2 (develop question H-9). How it is checked: whole (assigner,
+  node-engine), a kept build's want names its node and is fetched from it.
+- §527 **The node-engine's own module is read from the catalog half.** The seat list answers seat definitions alone
+  (ADR 0636), never who holds a seat. The node-engine's apply guard and its compose read their own module's name from
+  the catalog half of their view: the module whose entry claims the seat `node-engine`, which §508 makes one per
+  revision; the manifest validator, beside §508's refusal of a second claim, refuses a revision in which no module
+  claims it, naming the seat. §364's, §365's and §508's "from the seat list" read so, the condition keeper's too. With
+  no entry claiming the seat, which only a revision from before G shows, as at a revert of G, the node-engine's own
+  module is the module of the catalog graph entry its own build's fingerprint names (§443, §205), so a revert of the
+  node-engine applies. Why: §364 and §508 have the node-engine claim its seat
+  as one module, so the claim names it (develop question H-15). How it is checked: unit (manifest validator), a
+  revision with no claim of `node-engine` refused; whole (node-engine), its guard protects the module its catalog
+  half names, and with a revision of before G the module its own fingerprint's entry names, and the code review finds no fixed name (§428).
+
+## Findings and the condition keeper
+
+- §529 **A part's finding state and stream are declared in its kept data's form.** A part's state `findings` and its
+  finding stream (§383) are declared as ADR 0666 §4 has a part declare its kept data:
+  - **A foundation part** (the manifest validator's list: ADR 0619 §1's parts as ADR 0666 §4 changes them, the runner
+    from G's delivery and the checker until its removal) declares `findings` in its old `state` section and the
+    stream `<module>-findings` in its old `streams` section, with the events `finding-written.*`, `finding-cleared.*`
+    and `findings-stated.*`, 7 days and 16 MiB, its oldest dropped (§383), published on
+    `mesh.stream.<module>.event.<event>.<node>` (ADR 0363 §2).
+  - **Every other part** asks both in its `requires`: the state `findings` by the template `state`, keeping its local
+    name and carrying its settings as options (ADR 0595 §11), and the stream by the template `events` under the local
+    name `finding-events`, with `max-age-days` 7 and `max-mib` 16, which the template drops oldest when full (ADR 0595
+    §3), its entry listing the three finding events in its field `events`, which the catalog graph entry carries
+    (§365), published on its binding's subject, `mesh.bus.<module>.finding-events.<event>.<node>`.
+  - **`mesh-healers`**, whose old `streams` declares `mesh-healers-findings` on main, moves it so in G's change, as
+    ADR 0595 §11 moves a module G touches. Its old stream stays on the bus as an orphan that `orphans` lists, removed
+    only by the operator's `drop` (ADR 0595 §4, §5); the grants part deletes the keeper's consumer on it once the
+    healers' entry no longer declares it (§386), and the healers say `findings-stated` at their start on the new
+    stream (§384), so the keeper loses no finding.
+
+  The manifest validator applies ADR 0595 §11's count of old sections to no part of its foundation list (ADR 0619
+  §2), so the tool runner's and the checker's manifests are not refused for it, and accepts in a foundation part's
+  old `streams` the finding stream in the one form above, as it accepts a stream on its list of streams kept until
+  moved; every other old `streams` entry is judged as today. A part whose list entry is missing is a fault of the
+  list, fixed in the validator (ADR 0619 §3). The validator refuses a manifest whose state `findings` has no finding
+  stream in its part's form, or no `consumes` of `mesh-conditions.findings-asked` (§387). The writer (§461) is handed
+  the subjects from the part's binding or its old stream, as it is handed every subject. The catalog graph entry
+  carries the finding stream in either form (§365); the grants part makes the keeper's consumer of §386 on an
+  old stream at the revision that declares it, and on a template stream when it hears the bus module's `created` for
+  `finding-events` and grants each part publish on its own finding stream's subjects of its own node only, in either form; the
+  keeper takes the observer and the node from either subject. This amends §383, §386 and §387, whose "into the
+  manifest's `streams`" holds for a foundation part alone. Why: ADR 0666 §4 and ADR 0595 §11 put a part's kept data
+  in the templates unless it is a foundation part, and ADR 0619 §2 keeps the foundation's old sections whole; the
+  local name `finding-events` is the design's choice, since `findings` names the state and ADR 0595 §8 takes one
+  name per module (develop questions on §387, both validator refusals). How it is checked: unit (manifest validator),
+  a foundation part's old `findings` and finding stream accepted, a non-foundation part's old sections refused and its
+  template form accepted; the catalog's validation at G's heads refuses none of §387's manifests; whole (keeper, a
+  template observer and the tool runner), both forms' events raise a condition; whole (keeper, healers), a healers'
+  finding raised before their move is still raised after it.
+- §540 **The keeper hands a failed head to the operator after two hours.** The condition keeper raises
+  `pipeline-failed` (§33) with `owner` the commit's author, as the runner's finding names it, and two hours after the
+  finding's `since` sets the condition's `owner` to `operator-channel`, the seat the operator is asked through (a
+  seat's name, §451), and says that change as it says any change of a condition; the runner's finding keeps the
+  author. §451's `owner` and `waiting-on` gain a third form, `forge:<account>`, the commit's author as the forge
+  names it. A `pipeline-failed` for a newer failing head is a finding of its own, its id naming that commit, so it is
+  its new author's with two hours of its own. The keeper's tool `conditions_owner` sets a condition's `owner` now, of
+  class `act` with §391's default callers, written in the hand-act log. The keeper times the two hours on its own conditions from `since`, so after its restart it times them from
+  `since` again. Why: §33 has the keeper raise it as the author's, then the operator's (ADR 0505 §5, §6; develop
+  question COND7). How it is checked: whole (keeper), a `pipeline-failed` is the operator's two hours after its
+  `since`, and so after a restart of the keeper; unit (mesh-conditions' contract), `forge:<account>` read.
+- §541 **The keeper hears what a node runs and the healers' attempts as events.** The keeper's `reads` of
+  `node-engine.have` and `mesh-healers.attempts` go (§434).
+  - **What a node runs.** The keeper consumes the node-engine seat's `composed`, `running` (with `healthy`, §520, and
+    `stopped`) and `wait-held` and `wait-ended` (§499), read as §556 has it, and compares them with the wants it hears
+    from the assigner, to hold a module's findings while it is delivered (ADR 0564 §13), as it did from the haves.
+    The node-engine says `wait-held` on `mesh.seat.node-engine.event.wait-held.<node>.<module>`, with `step: compose`
+    and the reason, for each hold its have writes (§300's `restore point missing`, §421's `entry-missing`, §524's
+    `parts-differ`, §499's kept build), and `wait-ended` on `.wait-ended.<node>.<module>` when the hold ends. The
+    keeper raises no condition of its own from them: the watchman writes `delivery-waits` for a `wait-held` of the
+    node-engine standing past composing's 30 minutes (§266), naming the node, the module and the reason, and it clears
+    on `wait-ended`; a `composed` whose fingerprint is not the want's is covered by that same wait or by the put's
+    wait (§498).
+  - **The healers' attempts.** The seat `mesh-healers` says `attempt-changed` on
+    `mesh.seat.mesh-healers.event.attempt-changed.<condition>`, the condition's key escaped as a key's name is (§73),
+    carrying the attempt's value whole as its key in `attempts` holds it and `until`, the end of that key's
+    lifetime, or `removed: true` when the healer ends the attempt; the seat's definition, in its contracts module,
+    keeps it last per subject, 7 days and 16 MiB (§396). The healers say it again for every open attempt at their start. The
+    keeper reads it as §556 has it, and drops an attempt at its `until` on its own clock.
+
+  Why: the keeper reads no other module's state (ADR 0596 §2; develop question COND8). How it is checked: whole
+  (keeper, healers, node-engine), an attempt said is shown on its condition and dropped at its `until` or its
+  removal, a node-engine's hold is heard from `wait-held` and past 30 minutes raises `delivery-waits`, a restarted keeper
+  holds the attempts it held, and the keeper's manifest declares no `reads`.
+
+## Views of the catalog half, per watched branch
+
+- §521 **An owner's view event names its state, and the key names the branch.** An event an owner says for a per-branch
+  state (`catalog-revision` for `catalog-revisions`) names the state as the owner's manifest names it,
+  `catalog-revisions`, and the key, `<branch>.<revision>` (§343); mesh-sdk's `go/views` reader and process reader
+  route it to the view `<owner>.<state>.<branch>` (§479) by the key's first token, the branch escaped as a key's name
+  is (§73), which the subject's last token repeats. No event names a state `<state>.<branch>`; mesh-sdk's code at
+  eed96854, which names it so, follows this line. Why: a state is named once, as its owner declares it, and the key
+  already carries the branch (develop question on §479 and §495). How it is checked: unit (`go/views`), one
+  subscription of a per-branch event routes two branches' events to their two views.
+- §530 **`revision` says `none yet` in a field.** The seat `mesh-catalog`'s `revision` for a watched branch with no
+  revision yet answers `{none-yet: true}`, with no revision and no `error`; mesh-sdk's client reads `none-yet` as a
+  ready, empty view (§495) and never reads an error's text for it; `views.NoneYet` is the client's name for that
+  answer. Why: an answer is told by its fields, never its words (develop question on §495). How it is checked: unit
+  (mesh-catalog's contract), the answer read; unit (client), `none-yet` gives a ready, empty view.
+- §532 **Every reader of the catalog half follows every watched branch, and adopts a branch registered while it runs.**
+  Every part that reads the catalog half per watched branch (among them the bus module, the status view, the
+  condition keeper, the tool runner, the assigner, the grants part and the runner) follows one view per watched
+  branch: the branches the registrations name, read by `registrations` at its start and followed by
+  `registration-changed`, and before the first registrations the branches the gate's `source` answers (§507); no part
+  names a branch in its code, the view's `main` included.
+  - **Adopted after the start.** mesh-sdk's views reader adopts a view after its start and drops one: on
+    `registration-changed` adding a watched branch the part adopts `<owner>.<state>.<branch>`, which takes its first
+    view at once and then follows; on one removing a branch the part drops the view and its row of
+    `<module>_first_views`.
+  - **One subscription per event.** The reader subscribes once per event, `<event>.>`
+    (`mesh.seat.mesh-catalog.event.catalog-revision.>`), and routes each event to its branch's view by §521, so two
+    branches never overwrite each other's handler; `meshcatalogclient` wires its views on that one reader, and the
+    runner's own wiring of `catalog-revision.>` goes for it.
+  - **The bus module across branches.** The bus module plans a module's kept data from the newest revision of each
+    watched branch that lists the module: each local name once, from the first of the module's watched branches, in
+    its registration's order, whose revision lists it. A registration's watched branches are a list in that order: the
+    branch `register` names first (the repository's default branch, a placement's default, ADR 0666 §6), then each
+    branch in the order `watch` added it; `unwatch` removes one and keeps the others' order; another branch asking that local name with other settings is
+    said as the bus module's `drifted`, naming the branch (ADR 0595 §6), and plans nothing.
+
+  This amends §358, §365, §421, §433 and §507. Why: no part fixes a branch (§7, ADR 0666 §5), and a registration may
+  add a watched branch while a part runs (develop questions NATS3, VW1 and COND6, and the client's lost per-branch
+  events). How it is checked: unit (`go/views`), a view adopted after the start takes its first view and follows,
+  and two branches' events reach their own views; whole (keeper, bus module), a branch registered while they run is
+  followed with no restart; whole (bus module), a feature branch asking a local name with other settings than the
+  default branch's is said `drifted` while the default branch's are planned; the code review finds no branch's name
+  in any part.
+
+## The bus module's plans
+
+- §533 **A module of the new form.** "A module of the new form" (§59, §344) is a module that is no foundation part.
+  The bus module tells it by its catalog graph entry declaring no old `objects` section `sent-objects`: a foundation
+  part whose entry claims a seat whose definition has a verb or an event, or declares an event of its own, declares
+  it (§59), and the manifest validator refuses such a foundation part's manifest without it, naming it. Why: the bus
+  module reads no list of foundation parts, which is the validator's alone (ADR 0619 §3; develop question on §59 and
+  §344). How it is checked: unit (manifest validator), a foundation part saying an event without `sent-objects`
+  refused; whole (bus module), a module of the new form gets a sent store and a foundation part none.
+- §537 **A definition's included parts are resolved before they are counted.** The bus module counts a seat
+  definition's verbs and events after resolving the parts it includes: it reads each definition that includes parts
+  by the seat list's answer for that one seat, which resolves them (ADR 0636), and plans a sent store (§344) for the
+  seat's holders when the resolved definition has a verb or an event. Including parts alone counts for nothing.
+  Why: an included part may hold only shared bodies (develop question on §344). How it is checked: whole (bus module),
+  a seat whose verbs come only from an included part gives its holder a sent store, and one including only bodies
+  gives none.
+- §538 **The bus module plans again when the bus-state entries change.** The bus module compares, for each module,
+  the bus-state entries the catalog graph entry carries with those it last planned for that module, kept in its old
+  `state` section `plans` (the bus module is a foundation part), one key `<module>` holding the entries as planned
+  and their digest, written after each plan and deleted when the module is in no watched branch's newest revision, its
+  entries then orphans that `orphans` lists; its tool `nats_plans` reads it. It plans again only when they differ; it never compares the manifest's digest (§506), which changes with
+  any field. Why: what it plans is those entries alone (develop question on §433 with §506). How it is checked: whole
+  (bus module), a manifest changed outside `requires` plans nothing, and a changed option plans the difference.
+
+## The runner, the checker and mesh-sdk's helpers
+
+- §528 **The checker built from G's heads asks no group build.** From G's delivery the pipeline is the check and the
+  run on request the try (§66), so the checker built from G's heads makes no group check: its group build through
+  tagged versions (its check's group path, `judge.go`'s, and `tagwanted.go`) goes with `tag-wanted` (§373), nothing replaces it in
+  the checker, and a group's builds against its package members' digests are the runner's (§373, §465). Until G's
+  delivery the running checker makes G's own check with main's code (ADR 0667 §2). Why: §66 and §373 (develop
+  question CK10). How it is checked: the code review finds no group build in the checker of G's heads.
+- §534 **The wait's `step` in the runner's body.** The runner's wait body keeps `step` as the pipeline step a wait inside
+  a pipeline is in (`lint`, `unit`, `integration`, `composition`, `review`, `approval`), and gains the value
+  `pipeline`, the acting step of §203, for a wait of the entries the runner holds for its new version (§266,
+  `runner_waits`); `clock-from` stands beside it (§498). The watchman tells them apart by the value: `pipeline` and
+  every value §498 lists are acting or delivery waits, timed by their bound (§269); a pipeline step's value is a
+  step's wait on a person, a build node or the revision view (§73), timed as §75 has it, a wait on a person owing no
+  progress (ADR 0666 §24). This completes §498 for the runner. Why: one field, told apart by its value (develop
+  question on §498). How it is checked: unit (runner's contract), both kinds read; whole (watchman), a runner's
+  `pipeline` wait raises `acting-part-late` past its 30 minutes and an `approval` wait raises no `pipeline-stands`.
+- §535 **A missing build seat and a seat with no holder, each read where it shows.** The runner reads that no build
+  seat serves an artifact's language from the catalog half of its revision view: no entry whose `acts`, the acting
+  rules of the seats it claims, hold a rule `build` with `on` naming that language (§323); the pipeline then ends
+  failed at once, naming the language and the missing build seat. It reads that a seat has no holder from the step
+  itself: an ask on that seat's work queue whose `step-started` is not heard within five minutes ends the pipeline
+  failed, naming the seat (§32). It reads neither from the seat list, which answers definitions alone (§527), nor
+  from any holding. Why: §32 already ends a pipeline whose step nothing starts, and the catalog half is the runner's
+  one view (develop question Q-RN7). How it is checked: whole (runner), a fixture language with no build seat ends at
+  once, naming it; a seat whose holder is stopped ends within five minutes, naming the seat.
+- §539 **The runner's tools are named `runner_`.** The runner's module, `mesh-delivery-pipeline`, names its tools with
+  the prefix `runner_`, so the design's `runner_catch_up`, `runner_waits`, `runner_release` and `runner_health`
+  stand, and its first-view tool is `runner_first_views`; `<module>_first_views` (§205) carries the prefix the
+  module's tools carry. Why: the design names the runner's tools so throughout (develop question RN1). How it is
+  checked: the runner's manifest, and `mesh_search` with "runner first views" finds `runner_first_views`.
+- §531 **The kept-call form in Go.** §460's form is mesh-sdk's `busretry.DoKept`, which takes the ask's key, `open` (of
+  the type `busretry.Open`), an optional `replaced` and the function that writes the journal, and a process's call
+  through it is `process.Conn.CallKeptWhileOpen`, as mesh-sdk 19fb1dce has them. Why: a helper's API is the design's
+  (develop question R-5). How it is checked: §460's.
+- §536 **`SeatsToPassOn`'s types.** §459's function in mesh-sdk's `catalogue` takes `holdings`, `assignments` (a list
+  of `Assignment` with `Node`, `Module` and `Branch`), `heard` (a function of a node and a module answering a `Heard`
+  with `Fingerprint` and `Stopped`, and whether anything was heard) and `entries` (an `EntryReader` with
+  `ByFingerprint` and `OnBranch`), as mesh-sdk e0f9356b has them. Why: a helper's API is the design's (develop
+  question R-4). How it is checked: §459's.
+
+## The operator's words
+
+- §522 **The words the teller says.** The teller says, through `notify` on every channel (§514), in the operator's
+  words:
+  - `widens`, one line per entry of the pipeline's end (§335): "Widening: `<module>` `<commit7>` on `<branch>` widens
+    `<kind>` `<name>`.", `<kind>` and `<name>` the entry's.
+  - `recovery-merged` (§81): "Recovery merged: `<module>` `<commit7>` on `<branch>`, named by `<caller>`: `<why>`."
+  - a `forge-made` record (§170): "Merged at the forge, not through the mesh: `<repository>` pull request #`<n>` at
+    `<commit7>` on `<branch>`; delivered like any merge."
+
+  `<commit7>` is the commit's first seven hexadecimal characters. This completes §514. Why: the operator, 2026-11-11
+  12:11 CET at lead-47's terminal, approved the words as the design writer proposed them. How it is checked: unit
+  (teller), each of the three said in these words with its fields filled; whole (teller, router), as §514.
+
+- §542 **An Approve given before G is that pull request's approval step.** The operator, 2026-11-11 12:33 CET at
+  lead-47's terminal: approval is a step whose status each module's registration sets, never a gate of its own, so
+  an Approve given before G counts, once G is delivered, as that pull request's `approval` step and nothing else is
+  special. At G's switch the gate says, for each `merges` key the old bridge had not performed, `approval-carried` on
+  `mesh.seat.mesh-delivery.event.approval-carried.<repository>.<pull>` (`repository`, `pull`, `commit` the head the
+  Approve named, `approver` the operator, `at`), declared in the seat's definition with `keep` 90 days (§396). The gate
+  keeps its `merges` keys, read no more, until §97's removal, so a revert's gate of before G finds them. The runner
+  hears the event through a durable consumer made to start from the stream's first message, so a runner started
+  after the switch hears every one, and keeps each in its old `state` section `pipelines` as
+  `carried-approval.<repository>.<pull>`, holding the commit. It takes it as the result `passed`, caller the
+  operator, only of the `approval` step of the delivering pipeline whose source revision takes in that pull
+  request's merge, as `take-in.taken`'s entries name it (each entry carrying the repository and the pull request of a
+  `merged` message, §493, §509), and only when the pull request's head merged is that commit; never in a run on
+  request and never in another pipeline at the same commit; then it deletes the key, and deletes it unused when the
+  seat `git` says the pull request `pull-closed`. Where the module's policy makes `approval` `required`, a pull request whose head
+  moved after the Approve asks a new approval, as any step whose input changed does (an `approval` step is never
+  carried, ADR 0666 §8); where it is `optional` or `bypass`, the carried Approve holds nothing. The merge itself is
+  any merge (`merge-pull`, ADR 0666 §11): the bridge performs no carried act, the gate says no `wait-held` with
+  `step: merge`, and the watchman writes no `merge-waits`. Every `wait-held` the runner says for an `approval` step
+  has its `wait-ended`, said when the step ends in any of §24's outcomes (`passed`, `declined`, `superseded`,
+  `cancelled`, `not asked`) or its pipeline is superseded or cancelled, so no approval wait stands without an end.
+  This replaces §510 and §608, and `merge` leaves §498's list. Why: the operator's answer ("you're mixing in step and
+  approval gates, this should be configurable"); the event, the key and the deletion are the design's (round 3,
+  health and events' R7). How it is checked: whole (gate, runner), a carried Approve of a head passes the `approval` step
+  of the pipeline taking in that pull request's merge, with the operator as caller, and no run on request at that
+  commit; a runner started after the switch takes it all the same; with `approval` `required`, a head moved after the Approve asks a new
+  approval; a pull request closed deletes its carried key; every `approval` wait-held in the whole test has its
+  `wait-ended`; the code review finds no `merge-waits`.
+
+## Round 3 of the review of §480 to §515
+
+- §543 **A build seat's holder refuses a kind its asker may not ask.** Callers stay per accepted kind (§338), and the
+  builder joins them as the one caller, beside the checker until §483's removal, of the kind `build`, as §601 has it
+  ask under its name. The grants part grants each asker publish on `mesh.seat.<seat>.accept.<queue>.<asker>` (§600)
+  for every queue of the seat on which a kind it is a caller of is taken, and the holder, which takes the asker from
+  the subject (§481), refuses an ask whose body names a kind that asker is not a caller of, answering `error` naming
+  the kind and the asker, and ends it with `step-ended` `failed`. On main's subject `accept.<queue>`, which names no asker and is granted to
+  the checker and the builder alone (§600), the holder takes only the kinds `build` and `run` and refuses any other,
+  `step` among them, as above; the builder's `run` there is taken until the checker's removal (§97), after which
+  main's subject goes (§483). This amends §338 and §600. Why: §600 puts the queue
+  in the subject and the kind in the body, so a subject's grant alone cannot hold a caller to its kinds (round 3,
+  security and upgrade, seams and tools: R1). How it is checked: unit (Go build module), a `step` published from the
+  indexer's account is answered `error` naming `step` and `indexer`; unit (grants part), each asker's grants are the
+  queues of its kinds; unit (Go, Node and image build modules), a `step` on main's subject is answered `error`.
+- §544 **Named asks have a worker of their own.** For each queue the grants part makes, beside main's worker
+  `SEAT_<SEAT>_<QUEUE>_worker` filtered to main's `mesh.seat.<seat>.accept.<queue>` alone, a second worker
+  `SEAT_<SEAT>_<QUEUE>_named_worker` filtered to `mesh.seat.<seat>.accept.<queue>.*`; the two filters do not overlap,
+  so the work-queue stream takes both. Only a holder of G pulls the named worker, and a holder of before G knows only
+  main's, so no filter is ever switched and a holder of before G that comes back from away (a laptop) after the grants
+  part runs takes no named ask. This replaces §601's "until every node's holder of a build seat is of G the grants
+  part's worker keeps main's one filter", and with it the edge from the seats' holders to the grants part, which no
+  manifest fact gives: the order is the asker's `invokes` of `<seat>.accept.<queue>` (kind 6, from the seat's holders
+  to the asker, §601), and the grants part comes before every asker as the acting part of the step `grant` on
+  `every` (§203): each entry of a revision waits for the grants part's new version to act for it (§266), so no asker
+  of G runs before a grants part of G has made its named worker and its grant. A holder of G pulls main's worker
+  alone until its membership names the named worker, which the grants part writes as it binds every consumer
+  (§386), and says meanwhile, in its journal and its read tool, `named worker not bound`. A named ask waits on its worker while no holder of G
+  runs, said by `build-capacity-waits` after 60 minutes, which corrects §483's "waits on the work queue, whose
+  consumer of before G takes only main's subject". At a revert, the grants part of G takes its view of the revert's catalog revision before
+  it is itself reverted, since it acts for every entry of it (§203); at the first revision in which no entry `invokes`
+  any `<seat>.accept.<queue>`, it purges the subjects `accept.<queue>.*` of the stream and deletes the named workers,
+  within its granting bound of 10 minutes (§266), saying each in its journal. Where that did not run (the grants part
+  stopped first), its tool `grants_named_purge`, of class `act` with §391's default callers and written in the
+  hand-act log, does it by hand; an ask is transport,
+  not kept data (as §59 has a sent object). Why: one consumer per filter, and a filter that never moves cannot be
+  pulled by a holder that does not read it (round 3, R2, the security reviewer's form). How it is checked: whole
+  (grants part, Go build module), a holder of before G started after the grants part of G takes main's asks and no
+  named one; a revert leaves no named worker and no named ask; a holder of G before its binding pulls main's worker
+  and says `named worker not bound`.
+- §545 **The tool runner's artifact declares the words it states.** The artifact entry of the tool runner's manifest
+  takes `states`, the capability words (§488) it states; the manifest validator refuses a package artifact's `calls`
+  word (§605) that no artifact of the revision `states`, naming the word, and the delivery plan's edge of §605 runs to
+  the module whose artifact `states` that word, so no manifest names the tool runner's module. A bundle is started by
+  the tool runner on its channel and ends with it, so a restart of the tool runner restarts its bundles, and each
+  reads the stated words at its own start; no event is heard and nothing polls. This amends §605's "each time the
+  tool runner of its node starts". Why: the words are stated only at run time, and the plan needs them in a manifest
+  (round 3, seams and tools: R3). How it is checked: unit (manifest validator), a `calls` word nothing `states`
+  refused; unit (tool runner), the words it states are exactly its manifest's `states`; unit (delivery plan), the edge to the module stating the word.
+- §546 **When the builder forgets a node's toolchain.** The builder deletes its `toolchains-heard` key
+  `<node>.<language>` (§604) when the node-engine seat's `running.<node>.<module>` says `stopped` (§365) for the
+  module whose catalog graph entry claims the build seat of that language (its `acts` rule `build` with `on` naming
+  it, §535), heard through its consumer of that seat's `running`, read as §556 has it; never on a placement, which
+  is the seat `mesh-module-assigner`'s state. The state is an old `state` section of the builder, a foundation part,
+  one key per node and language, about 12 keys of about 0.3 KiB each, capped at 1 MiB, so it adds no objects store
+  to §607's count (§58 plans one only for a state of the template); `builder_toolchains` reads it and
+  `builder_toolchains_drop`, of class `act` with §391's default callers (`operator`, `sessions`), deletes one key,
+  with why, written in the hand-act log of the seat `mesh-hand-acts`; a
+  holder says the key again at its start and on each change (§492). This amends §604's "when the node leaves the
+  catalog's placements". Why: the builder reads no other module's state (ADR 0596 §2; round 3, seams and tools: R4).
+  How it is checked: whole (builder), a build module stopped on a node deletes that node's key, and the drop tool
+  deletes one key and logs it; a drop by another caller is refused by the bus.
+- §547 **The sum of the bus's caps is read against its limit.** Measured on 2026-11-11 against an embedded bus
+  (nats-server 2.11.17): an account's storage limit reserves each stream's maximum size when the stream is made (a
+  second stream of 64 MiB under an account limit of 100 MiB is refused, "insufficient storage resources"), and a
+  server's own limit does not. So each `<state>-objects` is planned with 16 MiB (about 2.4 GiB for 150 states), a
+  state needing more naming `objects-max-mib`, and no later measure is waited for. The bus module reads the account's
+  and the server's storage limits at its start and at each plan, sums the cap of every entry it plans (states, objects
+  stores, sent stores, streams, logs) and of every old section the catalog graph's entries declare, and shows the sum and
+  both limits in its `list` and its read tool. A plan whose sum would pass the account's limit is refused, naming the
+  sum and the limit, said as its `refused` (ADR 0595 §6): the plan refused is the one that adds or raises a cap, and
+  the caps already made stay as they are. With no account limit (unlimited) nothing is refused and the sum is shown
+  against the server's limit. This amends §607's 64 MiB and its measure in G's check. Why: the limit is a
+  fact of the server, read rather than written in the design, and a sum over it fails loudly (round 3, running and
+  testing: R5). How it is checked: whole (bus module), a fixture bus with a small account limit refuses the plan
+  that would pass it, naming the sum, and keeps the caps made; with no account limit nothing is refused; the sum and
+  the limits are in `list`.
+- §548 **The forge module writes `seen` only from a pipeline's steps.** §487's `seen.<commit>.<module>` is written only
+  from a `step-ended` that carries a pipeline's `commit` and `fingerprint`, which a pipeline's step carries; the
+  `step-ended` of any other ask (§602) carries `asker`, `ask`, `node`, `outcome` and `at` and neither, so the forge
+  module writes nothing from it and names no asker. This amends §487.
+  Why: since §602 every ask says `step-ended`, and a builder's build is no run of a commit (round 3, health and
+  events: R6). How it is checked: unit (forge module), a builder's failed build writes no `seen`; whole (watchman), a
+  `stuck` raised for an ask clears on its late `step-ended`.
+- §549 **Smaller corrections from round 3.** At its start the runner appends an `unlogged` entry (§606) only after
+  reading back its `step-log`'s last entry of that pipeline and step, and skips it when that entry is already
+  logged, so a stop between the append and the clear appends nothing twice. `step-progress` and `ask-taken` (§603)
+  name no `keep` and go on EVENTS, kept 7 days (§396). `runner_unlogged_append` is of class `act` and takes §391's
+  default callers. §58 is planned with the cap §607 and §547 give. How it is checked: whole (runner), a runner
+  stopped between the append and the clear logs the entry once; the rest as the lines they correct.
+- §550 **A publication's pipeline keeps the version.** The runner's pipeline value gains `version`, the version
+  `package-published` names, for a pipeline the runner started from a publication or from `outdated` (§334), and
+  none for any other; `show` answers it. This completes §334's "the version in the pipeline's state". Why: the
+  runner's contract had no field for it (develop's note on §334). How it is checked: unit (runner's contract), the
+  field read; whole (runner), a publish's pipeline shows its version.
+
+## The operator's answers of 12:41 CET
+
+- §551 **A restore point is removed after 90 days, never the newest.** The operator, 2026-11-11 12:41 CET at lead-47's
+  terminal. The recovery module removes a restore point's directory (§516) 90 days after its `at`, as long as delivery
+  records are kept, unless it is the newest point of its module and kept data, which it never removes; it checks at
+  its start, once a day and at each `snapshot-kept`, on its own clock and its own directory, as one of its acts, never
+  beside a `restore-kept` (§554). Each removal is written in the hand-act log of the seat `mesh-hand-acts` and said as
+  `mesh-recovery`'s event `point-removed` on `mesh.seat.mesh-recovery.event.point-removed.<module>.<kept>` (`module`,
+  `kept`, `form`, `fingerprint`, `snapshot`, `at`), kept 90 days (§396). The backup holder's copies go by its
+  repository's own rotation (ADR 0235 §4). Data set aside is removed only by `recovery_discard_aside` (§554). This completes
+  §516 and answers issue 1921's note on the retention of restore points. Why: the operator's answer; the event, the
+  checks and their order are the design's. How it is checked: whole (recovery module), a point older than 90 days is
+  removed and said, the newest point of a kept data older than 90 days stays, and a removal due during a restore runs
+  after it.
+- §552 **The checker may drop its own asks until its removal.** The operator, 2026-11-11 12:41 CET at lead-47's
+  terminal: the build seats' verb `drop` (§338) gains the checker as a caller until its entry is removed with its
+  buckets and bus account (ADR 0667 §12), as `run` has it, so the validator accepts the checker's manifest's
+  `invokes` of `seat:node-build-go.drop` and `seat:node-build-node.drop`. This amends §338. How it is checked: unit
+  (manifest validator), the checker's manifest accepted; whole (grants part), the checker's drop granted and another
+  module's refused.
+- §553 **A step status left empty is `optional`.** The operator, 2026-11-11 12:41 CET at lead-47's terminal: a step
+  whose status a registration's policy (module-level `policy.steps`, or an artifact's) leaves empty is read as
+  `optional`: it runs, and a failure is shown and holds nothing (§23); `register` and `policy` accept such a policy
+  and refuse nothing for it, and the runner, `registrations` and `show` say the step `optional`. This completes §23.
+  How it is checked: unit (runner), a step with no status runs and its failure holds no want; unit (mesh-catalog's
+  contract), a registration with an empty status accepted.
+
+## Questions an earlier line answers
+
+These write nothing new; develop reads the line named.
+
+- The tool runner's fallback of local commit 1015b38 for a foundation part's bundle goes: §407 binds that bundle to
+  its old `objects` section, and a binding that is missing fails loudly (ADR 0595 §1) (Q-T5, T-11).
+- The re-read tool's callers of `seatlist.Part` are §204's for every part, the assigner's own list going (AS19).
+- The bus module's cap of a state's objects store is §513's as §607 and §547 amend it, and the binding's `objects`
+  and `sent-objects` are §513's (NATS1, §399).
+- The contracts' `Hold` is §194's view, the newest assignment half and the catalog half it names; the candidate's
+  whole-half reader is §195's and §441's, read by a run on request's steps, `grants-for` and the indexer's candidate
+  pass (contracts).
+- The view's module value carries the entry's `manifest-digest` (§506) and computes none (VW1).
+- `store-filling` is raised past 80 % and cleared below 70 % (§181).

+# 47, milestone G: the recovery module, and the review of §516 to §553
+
+One file of milestone G's part of [design 47](../47-delivery-from-commit-to-delivered.md); the part opens at
+[G.md](G.md). Its design lines are numbered across every file of the part and cited as "design 47 G §n".
+
+*§554 and §555 are the operator's answer of 2026-11-11 at 12:55 CET at lead-47's terminal. §556 to §558 answer the
+four reviewers' round 1 of [G-12](G-12-develop-answers-fourth.md) (§516 to §553); the rest of that round's findings
+are written into the lines of G-12 they name.*
+
+## The recovery module
+
+- §554 **The recovery module takes, sets aside and restores kept data on the live bus.** The operator,
+  2026-11-11 12:55 and 13:02 CET at lead-47's terminal: a module of its own, on a seat of its own, with an account of
+  its own, owns snapshotting, setting aside and restoring a module's kept data on the live bus, each act in the
+  hand-act log; the bus module keeps no restore permission (ADR 0626 §1 stays as it is), the snapshot account stays
+  limited to the nightly dump (ADR 0626 §2), and the backup holder only stores copies. ADR 0672 decides the account,
+  its grants and its callers; this line is written to it.
+  - **What it alone does.** It alone takes a restore point before a module moves across a `form` change, and alone
+    restores into the live bus. The bus module's snapshot before its own `recreate` or `drop` (ADR 0595 §5, ADR 0626
+    §4) and the nightly dump (ADR 0626 §2) stay theirs. The restore ADR 0667 §12 tests of the snapshot `drop` takes is
+    the recovery module's `recovery_restore` naming that snapshot, which it reads through the bus module's tool
+    `nats_snapshot_get` (class `read`, callers `holder:mesh-recovery@same-node` alone).
+  - **Its seat, module and node.** The seat `mesh-recovery`, held once for the mesh, is defined in mesh-contracts
+    beside `mesh-broker`, and the module `mesh-recovery`, in mesh-catalog, claims it; its glossary word is the
+    *recovery module*. It runs on the node of the holder of `mesh-broker`, read from the catalog half and the seat
+    `mesh-module-assigner`'s placements, never a fixed name: G's seed writes its placement there, and the
+    placement verb refuses to move it while `kept-points` lists a point younger than 90 days, naming them, so its
+    points and their copies in that node's repository stay together. Its data directory, its manifest's `data` item
+    `points`, is capped at 10 GiB and measured by the disk readings (ADR 0571 §5): past 80 % it writes the finding
+    `points-filling`, and a `snapshot-kept` that would pass the cap ends `failed`, naming it, which holds the move as a
+    failed backup does (§296). Its `findings` state and finding stream are declared as §529's other parts declare
+    them, so it waits on the bus module for them and is no foundation part (ADR 0619 §1).
+  - **Its verbs answer at once; the result is the event.** `snapshot-kept` and `restore-kept` answer `accepted` with
+    the act's `act` id, `busy` with the act that runs (it runs one act at a time and keeps no queue), or `error`, and
+    nothing more; the point comes on `ended`, the restore on `restored`. A caller told `busy` asks again when it hears
+    that act's event. The module writes each accepted act in its directory before it answers; at its start an act
+    accepted and not ended is ended `failed` with `stopped`, so its caller asks again.
+  - **Its events.** On `mesh.seat.mesh-recovery.event.` and kept last per subject, 90 days (§396): `ended.<module>.<kept>`
+    and `restored.<module>.<kept>`, each carrying `act`, `module`, `kept`, `form`, `fingerprint`, `snapshot` and
+    `outcome` (`done` or `failed`, with `error`), `ended` also the point whole; `restore-started.<module>.<kept>` when a
+    restore begins; `set-aside.<module>.<kept>` and `aside-discarded.<module>.<kept>` with the aside's `id` and
+    `size`; and `point-removed.<module>.<kept>` (§551). The node agent wakes only on the event whose `form` and
+    `fingerprint` are its ask's. Its wait for `ended` or `restored` is bounded at 90 minutes (§405), past which its have
+    says the wait and the watchman's `delivery-waits` raises it.
+  - **Who calls it.** `snapshot-kept` and `restore-kept` are called by a node-engine holder (`seat:node-engine`): the
+    recovery module takes a call only from an account the bus proves to be a node-engine's, and the identity of who
+    asked is the check (the operator, 13:06 CET), every act logged; no want is read for it, since the operator,
+    2026-11-11 13:10 CET: "if something asks for a restore, you should do it; he'll have his reasons".
+    `kept-points` takes the default of a read (§391). The operator, 2026-11-11 13:06 CET at lead-47's terminal: setting
+    aside is a move, not a removal, so deleting the live objects once their aside is whole and checked (§516) needs
+    no person's warrant, the data staying in the aside until the operator discards it; setting aside without restoring is
+    the operator's hand tool `recovery_aside`, and discarding an aside the hand tool `recovery_discard_aside`, both of
+    class `act`, callers `operator` and `sessions`, written in the hand-act log first; `restore-kept` refuses
+    `aside-only` and `discard-aside`, naming them (§516). The hand tools are checked by the identity of who asked: they are taken only from the operator's account as the bus proves it, and from sessions
+    acting on it as for every `act` tool (§391), with no warrant asked per act. Each act is written in the hand-act log of the seat `mesh-hand-acts` first, with the caller the
+    bus proved and `why`; an act whose log write fails does nothing and answers `error`, naming the log (as §480).
+  - **The operator's hand tools.** `recovery_take` (take a point of one module and kept data now), `recovery_restore`
+    (restore one point) and `recovery_retry` (ask again the last failed act of a module and kept data), each of class
+    `act`, callers `operator` and `sessions` (§391), written in the hand-act log; they are checked by identity, as above.
+  - **Its account.** Composed by the grants part from the seat's definition and the manifest: the bus's stream
+    snapshot and restore subjects with their chunk subjects, a stream's deletion and a durable consumer's creation,
+    only for the bus names of a module's kept data; the subjects its seat says and its hand-act log write; its
+    consumers of `node-backup`'s `item-started` and `item-ended`, each with the ordered
+    consumer §556 needs; its calls of `node-backup`'s `restore` as the caller `holder:mesh-recovery@same-node`, which
+    `node-backup`'s definition names for `restore` and which the backup holder takes only for the recovery module's
+    own item `points` (the operator, 13:02 CET); and nothing else. The bus names granted are those of every kept data
+    of every catalog graph entry the catalog half keeps (§443) and of every entry a restore point names (an old
+    section's name before a form change, a template's binding after), read by the grants part through
+    `kept-points`; no stream of the mesh's own (`CONTROL`, `NODES`, `EVENTS`, `DEAD_LETTER_NOTICES`, `DEAD_LETTERS`,
+    `PROV_APPLIED`, `CHECKS_READY`, `CHECKS_OTHER`, every `SEAT_` stream and every `KV_` bucket of a seat) is ever
+    granted. Restricted streams (ADR 0436) are among the names, as ADR 0672 records.
+  - **Bus names.** The recovery module turns a module and a kept data into bus names from the catalog graph entry of
+    the fingerprint it acts at, read by `mesh-catalog`'s `entry` (§443) in its `invokes` (an edge of kind 6): a
+    template entry's name is `<module>_<local>` (ADR 0595 §1), an old section's its declared name; a point records the
+    names it took, and a restore uses those.
+  - **Never beside the nightly dump.** A `snapshot-kept` may run while the dump runs, both paced as ADR 0235 §10 has
+    it, so the server has at most two snapshots at once. No `restore-kept` starts while the dump runs, and no dump of
+    the bus starts while a restore runs: the holder of `node-backup` of G says `item-started.<node>.<module>.<item>`
+    and `item-ended.<node>.<module>.<item>` for every item, kept last per subject, 7 days, and puts off the bus's item
+    while a `restore-started` of the recovery module has no `restored`; the recovery module learns the bus module and
+    its node from the seat list's definition of `mesh-broker` and the catalog half's claim of it, never a fixed name.
+    Both read these streams as §556 has it, so a restart mid-dump or mid-restore misses neither. A blocked act waits,
+    neither refused nor failing a want: past 60 minutes the recovery module writes `recovery-waits` and the backup
+    holder `backup-waits`, each naming the item or the act it waits on, and `kept-points` lists the act that runs
+    with since when and what it waits on. The recovery module consumes the item events that G's backup holder adds,
+    an edge of kind 6 from that holder to it, so a backup holder of before G, which says none, is never relied on.
+  - **Its health.** Its declared health check calls `kept-points`, and fails while any aside's record ends at
+    `removed` (§516), when it also writes the finding `aside-unrestored` naming the module, the kept data and the
+    aside's `id`.
+  - **Its order.** The node-engine's `invokes` of its verbs gives the edge of kind 6 from the recovery module to the
+    node-engine, so §298's first edge reads "the new version of the recovery module" (§555). At a revert of G the
+    edge runs backward (ADR 0656 §4): the node-engine goes back only after every module it restores there said
+    `restored` and runs (§298), and the recovery module, new in G, goes only after the node-engine, so it stays while
+    any restore runs; its data item stays on its node, with its copies.
+  - **Its tools** are named `recovery_`.
+
+  Why: the operator's answers; the node, cap, events, answer on acceptance, dump order, health and edges are the
+  design's (review rounds 1 and 2; ADR 0672). How it is checked: test 36 with the real backup holder and the recovery
+  module; unit (grants part), the recovery module's account holds exactly the grants above, a call outside its names
+  refused, both a point's old-section names and a template's binding granted, and the bus module's and the snapshot
+  account's hold no restore; whole (recovery module), a call from an account that is no node-engine's refused, a
+  `busy` answer then the act on the other's `ended`, a second form change not woken by the first's `ended`, a dump
+  asked during a restore starting after `restored`, a restart during the dump starting no restore, an act whose
+  hand-act log write fails doing nothing, an unrestored aside failing the health check, a node-engine's `restore-kept` with `aside-only` or `discard-aside`
+  refused, and the operator's `recovery_discard_aside` removing the aside and writing the log.
+- §555 **What moves to the recovery module.** §296 asks `mesh-recovery`'s `snapshot-kept` and waits for its `ended`,
+  never the seat `node-backup`; §297 asks its `restore-kept` and waits for its `restored`; §302's `backed-up` lists
+  the recovery module's data item as any item, and the restore points and asides are listed by `kept-points` (§517),
+  an aside discarded by the hand tool `recovery_discard_aside` (§554); §303 and test 36 name the recovery module where they named the backup
+  holder and the bus module; §337's and §405's callers `holder:node-backup@same-node` go with the two verbs of
+  `mesh-broker`, which gains none; the seat `node-backup` gains nothing for kept data on the bus: its `aside` and
+  `discard-aside`, the arguments `kept`, `form` and `fingerprint` of its `now` and `restore`, and its events
+  `ended.<node>.<module>.<kept>` and `restored.<node>.<module>.<kept>` go from its definition in mesh-contracts, and
+  it gains only `item-started` and `item-ended` with their `<item>` token, and names `holder:mesh-recovery@same-node`
+  among `restore`'s callers for the recovery module's own item (§554); §450's `aside` answer is `recovery_aside`'s;
+  §406's catch-up is recorded in the point as before. Why: one owner of the acts (§554). How it is checked: unit
+  (definitions), `node-backup` and `mesh-broker` hold none of the moved verbs; test 36.
+
+## The review of §516 to §553, round 1
+
+- §556 **A part that follows a stream kept last per subject reads it whole at each start.** A durable consumer goes on
+  from its acknowledged position after a restart, so a part that acts on what it heard from a stream kept last per
+  subject, and keeps no state of it, reads at each of its starts every subject's last message through an ordered
+  consumer it makes for that one read, then follows its durable consumer from its acknowledged position, an event
+  older by `at` than what that read gave changing nothing. Until the read ends the part acts on none of those events
+  and its `<module>_first_views` names the stream `waiting`. So read: the node-engine seat's `running`, `composed`,
+  `wait-held` and `wait-ended` (the last two kept on the stream `running` is kept on, last per subject, a node's
+  module's newer one by `at` standing), by the assigner (§520), the condition keeper (§541), the builder (§546), the
+  node-engine and the grants part (§199), and the watchman for `delivery-waits` (§541); `mesh-healers'`
+  `attempt-changed` by the keeper (§541); `node-backup`'s `item-started` and `item-ended` by the recovery module, and the recovery module's `restore-started` and `restored` by the backup holder (§554). The
+  grants part grants each such reader, beside its durable consumer, the creation of an ordered consumer on that
+  stream with no durable name (the bus's consumer-create subject for that stream), from the reader's `consumes`. This amends
+  §199's "each part's durable consumer starts from the last message per subject". Why: what a part heard must not
+  depend on when it last restarted (review round 1, health and events 2, with running and testing 3). How it is
+  checked: whole (assigner, keeper), a restarted assigner holds no want it did not hold before, and a restarted
+  keeper holds the healers' attempts it held.
+- §557 **A whole test's bounds are settings.** Every bound a whole test waits on (§535's five minutes, §534's 30
+  minutes, §544's 60 minutes, §540's two hours, §551's 90 days, §554's 90 minutes) is a setting of the part that
+  times it, read at its start, its default the design's value, so a whole test sets it in seconds and never waits on
+  real time. The bus module's and the recovery module's whole cases in these lines are cases of each module's one
+  whole test against the real bus, within the test budget. Why: a whole test that waits hours runs never (review
+  round 1, running and testing's notes). How it is checked: the code review; each whole test of these lines runs in
+  under a minute.
+- §558 **A field of a served verb's answer is an edge of kind 6.** Kind 6 (§374) orders a module after a version that
+  serves a verb or a word it uses, and a verb's presence alone says nothing of a field its answer gained, so a
+  consumer relying on a new field of a served answer could run before the provider's new version and fall back in
+  silence (the grants part's first view relies on `binding` in `mesh-broker`'s `list`). An `invokes` entry therefore
+  takes a long form, `{verb, fields}`: `verb` as today (`seat:<seat>.<verb>`), `fields` the names of its answer's
+  fields the consumer relies on. The manifest validator refuses a field the seat's definition does not give that
+  verb's answer, naming it. The delivery plan derives the edge of kind 6 from the holders of that seat to the
+  consumer, held until the holder runs a build whose catalog graph entry's seat definition (§194) gives the verb's
+  answer every named field; §374's entry of kind 6 records the verb and its fields, and `outdated` (§375) says it
+  behind when the delivered version no longer gives them. Both forms stay: the short string where no field is relied on, the long form
+  where one is. On main mesh-sdk's manifest reader reads `invokes` as a list of strings, so the long form is read
+  first by §494's second reader release, merged and delivered before G's merge: its manifest reader takes either
+  form, and the running checker, the indexer and the grants part, which read manifests through it, are rebuilt with
+  it by the release's publish (kind 1), as for `max-mib`. That publish rebuilds every module importing mesh-sdk's
+  `catalogue`, the set the release rebuilds already, so the form adds no rebuild. The consumers of G that name fields:
+  the grants part, `mesh-broker`'s `list` with `binding`; every reader of `mesh-catalog`'s `revision` through
+  mesh-sdk's client (the bus module, the status view, the condition keeper, the tool runner, the assigner, the grants
+  part and the runner), with `none-yet` (§530); the status view, `mesh-catalog`'s `entry` with `manifest-digest`
+  (§506). The recovery module reads the manifest whole the entry carries (§443), a field of before G. Any other part of G relying on a field G adds to a served answer names it so in G's change, which the
+  code review checks. Why: the module graph orders a consumer after what it relies on, and a field is part of the contract
+  (lead-47's question from the operator's "the module graph is for this", 2026-11-11). How it is checked: unit
+  (manifest validator), a field the definition lacks refused; unit (delivery plan), the grants part ordered after
+  a bus module whose definition gives `binding`, and not before; unit (the release's reader), both forms read.
+- §559 **A bundle's finding writer publishes and hears through two runtime calls.** A bundle, in Go or TypeScript,
+  holds no bus connection, so mesh-sdk's finding writer (§461, §503) in a bundle uses the runtime channel's existing
+  calls, each gaining one argument: `mesh/publish` takes `ack: true`, and the tool runner then publishes the event on
+  the subject the module's membership names for it (its old stream's `mesh.stream.<module>.event.<event>.<node>` or
+  its template binding's, §529; ADR 0363 §8) and answers only once the bus acknowledged it, with its sequence, or
+  `{error}`; `mesh/subscribe` takes `deliver: new`, and the tool runner makes an ordered consumer on the stream that
+  carries the pattern, starting at the next message, and delivers each message to the bundle as a subscription
+  delivers today. The writer says each finding event with `ack: true` (§383's one minute of resending counting from
+  an unanswered or `{error}` publish) and makes its consumer of `findings-asked` with `deliver: new` before its start
+  statement (§485). The tool runner states the capability word `finding-calls` (§488, §545) once it answers both,
+  and the bundle's writer fails at once, naming the word and the node, where it is not stated. Why: one writer in both
+  languages over the one channel a bundle has, as §518 (develop question of 13:08 CET on §461). How it is checked:
+  unit (tool runner), a publish with `ack` answered with its sequence and a refused one with `{error}`, a `deliver:
+  new` subscription given no message older than it; whole (mesh-sdk, TypeScript and Go bundles), a finding written
+  and an ask answered through a tool runner of G.
