An image build node up 24 days had lost its running kernel's modules to a linux-lts upgrade, so tun
could not load and every RUN line failed in pasta. mesh-build-image now proves the tun device and,
whatever its look refuses, judges its node not eligible (capacity 0 with the reason), so the asks go
to a node that can build them. The kernel module loads tun at boot and declares kernel-modules-hook,
which keeps the running kernel's modules across an upgrade. Needs mesh-sdk fix/ace-tun (Puller.Eligible).
A replaced mesh-build-go left a check ask's step running and its start
sweep spared it (issue 1890, note 21). mesh-build-go, mesh-build-node and
mesh-build-image pin mesh-sdk 981a35b5, whose steps name their owner and
whose sweep ends another owner's at once; each runs the sweep through one
method that main calls and that its test runs through the conformance
kit's left-running case. The failurekit check now refuses a build module
whose tests do not run that case, test step or not.

mesh-build-go, -node and -image declare build-hours (node=HH:MM-HH:MM in the node's local time,
empty = any hour) and hand it to the SDK puller (the operator, 2026-10-26: g14 builds only from
18:00 to 06:00); their SDK pin moves to mesh-sdk d00dac1, which has it.
Each of mesh-build-go, -node and -image declares cores-per-step (6, 2, 2) and hands it to the
SDK puller, which bounds the configured capacity by floor(slice quota cores / cores-per-step),
read live; thread limits and the status tools follow the effective capacity (issue 1806's
follow-up: three Go checks on shanks' 12-core slice starved past the 30-minute step bound).
mesh-build-go says its lint and test phases with the ask id (issue 1890).
mesh-build-go's steps bucket filled to the bus's 64 MiB cap (27,370 keys, none ever removed) and
refused the end of a passed check, so the check read failed; mesh-build-node's (17.8 MB) and
mesh-build-image's grow the same way. A step's key is per step: its reader reads its end within
the step's bound, and a check's verdict is kept by the checker, so two days is ample. The node's
pause key lived in the same bucket and would have ended by itself; it moves to a pauses state
without an age (mesh-sdk fix/steps-bucket-ages, Puller.PausePut). No node is paused today, so
nothing is carried over.
g14's Go builder sat idle at capacity 2 because nothing woke its parked
puller. mesh-build-go, mesh-build-node and mesh-build-image now pin mesh-sdk
b9911dc1, whose puller watches the config value capacity as mesh-config
resolved it and wakes on each change, and hand it that watch.
