A record proposed before a retraction and accepted after it marked the
retracted clause changed or the retracted record superseded, serving it again;
and returning a drafted record numbered its clauses anew, bringing retracted
ones back in force or making a waiting Approve mark another clause. accept now
leaves what is retracted alone, Return refuses a record with a retraction, and
retract waits until a record's drafting is done.
The operator prefers removing a wrong decision to stacking a correcting
record on it, and withdraw took only reserved or proposed records. retract
asks the operator through the router like a record that needs the operator,
and changes nothing until the Approve; a retracted record or clause no longer
holds in ask, holds, get, links and progress, history keeps every version, and
the whole-set rules still read a retracted record's links so a retraction alone
raises no finding. withdraw with retraction true takes a waiting one back.
A lead's five-minute report and 'is design 47 nearing its end' were joined by hand from
the design file, the tracker and the deliveries. One verb now works the state out
(ADR 0424 §1), minimal for every five minutes, detailed for the report's tree.
Milestones are read from the design's table until the tracker's milestone records
(issue 1781) are delivered.

WithdrawRecord only ended the waiting ask locally; the router kept it open, so
the operator still saw Approve/Decline for a withdrawn record and an answer to
it was dropped silently. It now also publishes a cancel on the router's
subject once the withdraw is saved, as the controller's asker does; a cancel
the router cannot be told of is logged and the withdraw still stands. The
module's existing "uses": ["operator-channel"] already grants this; no manifest
change needed, since the ask and cancel subjects are both under that seat.
A dropped proposal or a stale reservation stayed proposed forever: there was
no way to say the operator decided against it. knowledge-base.withdraw takes
a reserved or proposed record to withdrawn as a new version naming why, ends
a waiting operator's ask and clears a pending review in the same version,
and refuses an already accepted, superseded or withdrawn record. The number
stays spent either way.
The old Withdraw (the background job for reservations never proposed) is
renamed WithdrawStale to make room for the new, caller-driven WithdrawRecord.

The operator would not read the Telegram ask for ADR 0343: thirty plain lines, every clause on one, no bold,
no summary. A settings proposal was the same wall of text, its values masked so the approval was blind.
- messenger: an ask's message is the asker's headline and explanation alone; who asked and when, what each
answer does, the expiry, where else it is answered and the asker's Details travel as the message's note
(asks.Message.Note). Answered, the message is one line, "You chose Approve at 16:06 on Telegram ·
<headline>". An explanation that does not read at a glance (asks.Glance) is shown and logged. On a kind
that proves who answers, an ask's values are shown whole (asks.Ask.Whole), held to the secret rule alone
(from the earlier work on issue 383, #178).
- telegram: every message in HTML, never reworded: the title bold, a key line monospace, the note apart in
a collapsed blockquote; markup escaped. A tap is compared by its words, whitespace aside, and a message
shown before is still compared by the digest it was kept under.
- desk-channel: the note follows the body.
- mesh-knowledge: a record that needs the operator carries a brief (headline, summary, at most three
points), the 30th per-record rule; its ask shows the brief and never the clauses. An ask made before is
composed again as it was asked (form), so its warrant still holds.
- claude-code: an instructions proposal's explanation is one summary line (the proposer's, or the
module's), its text in the Details; a question's context is at most 300 characters and its recommendation
one point. Older proposals and questions keep their form.
The SDK is pinned at mesh-sdk 9588871 (fix/639-an-ask-reads-at-a-glance), which adds Message.Note and
asks.Glance.
The operator decided on 2026-10-12 that a rule of the record set that fails
is a fault of the records, which their authors repair, not the module
failing: as issue 508 decided for a proposal never reviewed, health says
only whether the module works, and a finding must not hold the module's
own rollouts. The findings go through the notice the knowledge base
already sends (operator-channel.notify, a warning), once per finding,
kept as told across restarts, and cleared when the rule holds again.

A notice left open kept telling the operator a record was proposed and not in force after it was proposed again
or accepted, and a later version's notice merged into it.

The mesh proves which machine called, not which agent on it (hq issue 365), so a review verb could not tell a
reviewer from the author. Each version proposed is now judged by claude-code.claude_code_judge in a separate
call that sees only the record, the records it links and the rules: approve accepts (or asks the operator for a
needs-operator record), changes keeps it proposed with the findings for its author, and a judgement that cannot
be had or read leaves it proposed, says so, and never counts as approval.
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds mesh-issues, mesh-knowledge → novox; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)

Both pin mesh-sdk/go at 4cf45b5 (mesh-sdk#20 merged). mesh-knowledge's one
reading of the caller, callerOf, now answers stdio.CallerOf, so a call on the
caller-named subject is recorded as its caller's bus user and any other as
unproven, never from the arguments.

A revision came from anyone and a review was refused only to the first author,
so a co-writer could approve, and a record proposed before callers are proven
would later be reviewable by its own unproven author. Now a revision is taken
only from the proven author, a reserved number only from whoever reserved it,
and a review is refused from any writer of any version or for any record with
an unproven writer. The rules held records from no date, so a correction to an
older record was refused by rules hq never held it to; each dated rule now holds
from hq's own start date, and a new record cannot be dated before its
reservation. history and the question to ask are bounded like the other answers.

An agent learns what a decision says only by reading whole records. This module
holds every decision record and research effort whole in a database in the store,
with clauses that carry their own status and source, typed links read from both
ends, and every version. It answers ask, get and holds within a stated bound, and
takes a record through reserve, propose (refused on any of the 29 per-record
rules), review by someone other than the author, and acceptance, on the
operator's proven warrant when the record needs it. The 4 whole-set rules make
the module unhealthy when they fail. The import reads hq at a commit through the
records module, never overwrites, and changes nothing when run again. Prose
decisions get drafted clauses that a second judgement must confirm before they
are served.
