* Whether a build outcome is a module-version to place in the graph, and why not when it is not.
*
* It mirrors two of the rules the controller keeps before it registers a build (mesh-controller
* cmd/mesh-controller/main.go `builds.Built`, build.go `publishable`): a merge check, a try and a dry run are
* never published, and **only a commit on its repository's trunk is** (ADR 0238) — a branch built through
* the `build` verb is checked, never a module's version. Where the seat names no trunk (one older than the
* rule) it is placed, as the controller lets it through. A failure made nothing and is passed over too.
*
* Not mirrored, because the catalogue cannot see what they read: the branch a module follows when it is not
* the default one (the controller's `follows`; such a module's builds off the default branch are passed over
* here and reach the graph by the replay), ADR 0266's rule that a module registers only from the repository
* it is built from, a superseded request, a build in the scratch namespace, one that failed its gate, and a
* build whose source is unchanged. Each needs the controller's records. This is safe for what the mesh
* sends, which is chosen from the controller's own module table and never from this graph; that the graph
* can still hold a build the controller refused under those rules is a follow-up (hq issue 712).
