It could not be changed at all: propose refused a name set there and never replaced one. The ask now says plainly that
it replaces or removes the registered section and binds its text's digest; on Approve every node renders the new text
in the place of the old (a removal leaves it out); a replacement keeps the section's own heading form (issue 340 note 14).

mesh-sdk holds neither asks nor asker, nor the vault's answer types, and mesh-delivery's
sdk/views is mesh-sdk's go/views (a1-progress.md, the rewrite map for the join): thirteen
modules switch to the operatorchannel contract and client, mesh-sdk's channel package and
meshvault, with go.mod requiring each at the group pin (nats: meshbroker too). The gate
holds the checks mesh-sdk dropped (an ask's id is its key's asking, at least one option),
with a row that fails without them; claude-code refuses a router record whose times do
not parse, as its JSON decode did, with a row.

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.

A question was kept on the bus before the router judged its words, so a token in
it reached a bucket every node reads: every word, the options' too, is now held
to the secret shapes and invisible characters before anything is kept, and a
refused question keeps none of its words. The cap was check-then-create and
failed open: each open question now holds one of two slot keys taken by create
or compare-and-set, refusing when a slot cannot be read. A question the router
never recorded frees its slot after two minutes instead of at expiry. by is
required; wording matches ADR 0332.

A session that needs a decision could only ask in a terminal the operator may
not watch. claude_code_ask raises the question under this module's name at the
level approve, so only a channel that proves who answered carries it;
claude_code_answer reads the chosen option back by its key from the router's own
record, held to the question kept in the new questions state.
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds claude-code → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
A module that only asks is issued no channel kinds, so the empty list was read as 'no channel proves its
sender' and every proposal was refused on the live mesh with Telegram linked. The router judges; Propose
waits for its word, and a refusal heard on the decided subject discards the proposal on every node.
mesh/merge-gate fail: builds claude-code → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; a manifest the change touches fails the module check: claude-code uses the…
Shared instructions were the terminal's alone since hq issue 340, because the tool runner cannot tell an
agent from the operator. The operator channel now proves who answered, so an agent may propose a section;
each node proves the router's warrant against the exact text itself and keeps what it approved in its own
file, so nothing written to the bus becomes active.
