move-in never replaces a value the vault holds, so where the controller made an own secret anew after the move, the
new value runs while the vault keeps the first. The verb own-take-running takes it from the node-engine of the machine
it is for, keeps the replaced value as the previous generation, raises the generation and says own-replaced without a
value; own_drift lists every own secret a node's shadow answer says another value of, mesh-wide. The module needs the
mesh-sdk head of fix/1126-seed-same-own-resync (delivery.OwnValuesDiffer, the seat's verb).
A group member made ready in an event handler has no ready run when its sibling
is looked at; the bound counted from the older sibling alone, so a re-push past
60 minutes asked at once as unanswered. Such a member now counts as ready now.
The bound also counts from a check starting again at the same heads, or its
verdict being taken away, so a pass that turns back into running never asks at
once as unanswered. Times in the wait and the ask are the operator's zone
(Europe/Brussels, as the messenger says them), and a placement change whose pass
holds no composition says that no node answered its placement.
The operator, 2026-10-27 23:54: "if you don't want me to approve it, don't send
the approval request". The gate asked the Approve the moment a pull request
opened, before its check answered, and five changes were approved unchecked.
Now the ask waits for the checker's verdict at the heads it covers (a group's
verdict of all its heads together; a placement change's verdict ends only once
its nodes answered, ADR 0559 §5). A pass or a failure is asked, the failure in
its words, since check-gates-merge false lets the operator merge it anyway. A
check with no verdict 60 minutes after the heads became ready is asked anyway,
saying so, and asked again in new words when its verdict comes.
Quick fix (only the ask's wording) against thorough (the one place that decides
when to ask, ungatedWaits): thorough, which is one place here.
The levels a build module judges hand the tests MESH_BUILD_NODE=1; the tests that run a step in bubblewrap fail on it when bwrap is missing. Issue 1309
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.
With check-gates-merge false a head is ready and asked before any verdict exists, yet the ask said "<pr> passed its
checks" (a group: "passed its checks"): on 2026-10-26 the operator approved mesh-delivery #79 and a six-repository group
on that claim while their checks had not answered.
The ask now reads the checker's verdict at exactly the heads it covers (checkAt, beside checkerAt): "passed its check"
only for a pass there; otherwise "its check has no verdict yet[: it is running (since HH:MM UTC)]" or "its check failed:
<first failure>", and the Approve clause says it merges "now, before its check ends" or "although its check failed".
While the check gates no merge, a pending ask whose check then passes or fails (or loses a pass it named) is withdrawn
and asked again in new words (the ask's AskCheck against the state now, endStaleAsks, the review-record path's
withdrawAsk); a check that starts running is no new word, so the wait stays one message. Whether a merge waits is
unchanged. The gate's log lines and stalled lines that claimed a pass for a ready head say the same state.
Quick fix: replace "passed its checks" by neutral words in the two summaries. Thorough fix: one reader of the check's
state at the ask's heads (checkAt) used by every text that names it, and the ask re-said when that state changes.
Chosen: thorough, as it costs one helper and one case in endStaleAsks, and the quick one would still leave a pending
ask silent about a failure that came after it.
Tests: rows in TestAnApprovedPullRequestIsMergedThroughTheMergeTool (gated pass; ungated no verdict, running, then
passed, then failed) and the ungated group's wording; no new test function.
go list leaves a file its build tags exclude (an integration test) in IgnoredGoFiles, which the digest did not hash;
mesh-provisioner-client's unit test globs *_test.go and reads two of them, so a change there reused a stale unit pass.
Review finding F2 on ba49a7f0.
47 packages carried the marker and were never kept: about 2000 tests per level ran on every check, whatever it
changed. The marker now lists, as paths or globs from the repository's root (? before a path whose absence is read),
what the package's tests read outside it; the digest hashes those files with the package's own non-Go files. A marker
that lists nothing, names an unclean path, or a line that matches nothing keeps today's never-kept digest.
The 46 markers list their reads; checks/deps and checks/trunk lose theirs (their tests read only temporary
directories). Digest form 6.
Quick fix of issue 1936, chosen by the operator 2026-10-26 21:56; the thorough fix (the Go test log's files kept with
each verdict) stays on the issue.
photos' admin-client, client and server Dockerfiles live in subdirectories and copy
paths from the module's root (admin-client/..., client-server/serve.mjs), as build-agent
built them and as the fingerprint reads the module's whole directory. Taking the
Dockerfile's own directory as context failed every such COPY with copier: stat
"/admin-client/package.json": no such file or directory, on shanks and on ace.
Quick fix (rejected): move photos' Dockerfiles to its repository root; it changes the
operator's photo application and leaves the trap for the next module.
Thorough fix (chosen): one context for every image, the module's directory; it never
leaves that directory, so the isolation of ADR 0487 section 2 holds.

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).
