Issue 309: two order rules ordered one pair both ways; ADR 0249 gives them a precedence
A group of the controller, the node-engine and the lab, each ready, was
refused as a cycle: built by put the controller's member first, engine
before controller the node-engine's. ADR 0249 ranks the rules (declared,
then built by and version skew, then engine before controller) and
supersedes ADR 0239's sentence that made a declared order against an
inferred one a cycle; design 47 says the precedence. Resolved by
mesh-controller #134 and mesh-catalog #119, replay R309 (mesh-lab #64).

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.
