mesh/merge-gate pass: the change touches no module of the mesh's graph
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
ADR 0277: a trusted setting is proposed through a verb and set on the operator's warrant, and a module's own secret is asked for and typed at the desk
The operator does not want to run manual commands on the control node. Issue 339 made every trusted
setting the terminal's alone, and a module's own secret the terminal's or the give verb's: each a line
an agent could only hand the operator to type. ADR 0274's pattern is extended: an agent proposes, the
operator approves on a channel that proves who answered, the controller sets the layer on the warrant
bound to the exact values shown. A secret is asked for by a verb and typed at the desk, bounded, the
prompt naming who asked. The designs 44, 52, 46 and 13, issue 339, ADR 0259 and 0266 and the glossary
are amended with dated notes.

04-ISSUES

The front door for "something is wrong" at the level of the mesh's design or governance. Diagnosis happens here, where the whole mesh is in view; the fix lands in the owning code repository.

What belongs here

Belongs here Belongs in the knowledge base
The design permits a failure to be silent How to fix one occurrence of it
A documented rule is enforced by nothing A command that works around it
A stated invariant is false in practice A node-specific quirk
The owner is unknown and finding it needs the whole mesh in view Symptom → fix, once the answer is known

The knowledge base already holds the operational record and is indexed on symptoms. This folder is not a second copy of it. An issue here is a question HQ must answer; an entry there is an incident someone must clear. An issue whose answer is a general lesson belongs in both.

Rules

  • Anyone may open an issue. No localisation is required to report one.
  • The full flow is playbook 00-META/process/03-issues.md.
  • Closed issues are never deleted — they are the mesh's symptom-to-component memory.
  • wontfix is legitimate and requires a sentence saying why.
