Asked whether a newer host was delivered using the link-time stamp, which
every delivered host carries as 'development build' now that the version
comes from where the binary sits. Never matched, so it stood aside on
every push for ever; standing aside cancels the report, so the mesh never
heard from it. Read as healthy throughout.
The three-minute push wait made it invisible: a wait long enough to
absorb a whole apply is long enough to hide that the machine never
answered.
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.
