jochen 6163a74bb2 ADR 0270 and 0271 (proposed): a held delivery whose change runs ends by itself; a send held for the bus's step is told at once
Issues 319 and 316: fifteen held deliveries asked a person a question with no right answer, and stop,
the only way out, records a delivered change as an error. ADR 0270 delivers a merge that moves nothing at
once, adds the final state covered for a merge a later delivered walk of the same trunk carried, and lifts
a group hold once its composed check passed.

Issue 336: a send held for the bus's planned step raised nothing for 28 minutes. ADR 0271 adds row S17,
said at the first refusal for the operator with the verb, keeps S3 from calling it lateness, and has the
delivery plan say before the merge that a person's bus upgrade follows.

Each issue's diagnosis says what the fix does and how to verify it once delivered.

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.
