restic: say in each retention setting that lowering it deletes restore points for good, so the operator sees the cost before setting it (novox/hq issue 416)
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds restic → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
Details
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed, each part in its toolchain: merge-check.sh (go), merge-check-typescript.sh (typescript)
Details
mesh/delivery delivered

// Each module gets one snapshot a night, tagged with its name, so a module is listed, kept and
// restored on its own. Everything lands in one repository on the machine — deduplicated, so every
// night is a complete restore point and only what changed costs space — and is thinned to 14 daily,
// 8 weekly and 6 monthly unless the machine's settings say otherwise (retention.go). Against mistakes, not disasters: nothing leaves the machine.
