mesh/merge-gate fail: builds dunst → g14, shanks; no bus step; 2 problem(s) the change brings; the first: a machine (f35): nothing could be sent to it with…
The actions sat on the middle click, which the operator's touchpads cannot give, and the context
menu named dmenu, which dunst's PATH does not hold. The left click is now do_action, close_current
(one action runs, several open the menu, none closes), the menu is rofi, declared as a package,
Super+N opens it from the keyboard through i3's contribution, and send refuses the token default,
which dunst would run at a tap without the menu.
The review of 2026-10-09 (H4): a link's code shown on the desk stayed in dunst's history, which
node-notifier.history serves to every caller of the mesh's verbs, agents among them; and a code sent to a
paused notifier is held and shown later, to whoever is then at the screen. send now takes secret (transient,
category mesh.secret) and transient; the dunstrc's rules keep both out of the history, and history leaves out
any that got there. The pause, read from dunst itself, is said as the event paused at start, on change and
every two minutes, for the desk to read.
A setting changed through mesh-controller.settings rewrote dunstrc, but the
running dunst kept the old font and width until the next login. Declare the
package's dunst.service in the account's manager, without a state, with
reload-on the configuration, so the node-engine runs its ExecReload
(dunstctl reload) and what is on screen stays. Add dunst_reload to do the
same on demand and say the font and width the files set.
The laptop's 242 DPI panel shows Inter 10 at less than half the workstation's size. The
defaults keep every machine's file byte for byte as it is; a machine sets its own.
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds dunst, messenger → g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
Review found that any process of the operator's account can choose a dunst action,
so a click could release or stop a delivery in the operator's name; that tokens
lived for ever; that a warning's answers died in ten seconds; and that a restarted
notifier left dead buttons (hq ADR 0258).

The operator could not tell from a notification whether to act, nor act without
opening a session. Each message now opens with a verdict, a warning that needs
nothing is not sent, and a notification offers answers the messenger performs
through their seat verbs; dunst's send gains actions and says the chosen one
(hq ADR 0253).
Owns one dunstrc (the laptop's, in the interface face, its menu on the seat's
dmenu command) and the dunstrc.d directory for other modules' rules; D-Bus
starts it, so nothing else does. Go tools over the session bus.
