Every directory and archive resource carries `unknown`: move-out for a home folder whose program writes nothing there (the node-engine, delivered in mesh-host #117, moves the rest to ~/.local/state/mesh-moved/<module>/ with a list), module for ~/.ssh and ~/.claude, program elsewhere; `knows` keeps what a program or the operator relies on (powerlevel10k's compiled files, i3's scripts and the asus/g14 drop-ins, dunst's slack rule, betterbird's records, node-env's forge credential, issue 1033). Two shared folders are no longer declared. Each module's README says it. checks/owned holds every manifest to it; checks/sshdir stays while main's merge check runs it (issue 1035). Tests that pin a manifest follow the new key only. Reviewed in three rounds.

The sweep from issue 1017 moved known_hosts2, rc and environment, which ssh
and sshd read by default, and moved a link to a folder of keys, breaking every
login through it. It could move a file a tool was still writing. When ~/.local
was on another file system, every sweep failed at its first move and left an
empty folder each round, seen only in the journal. Its list was written after
the moves with errors ignored.
Now those files and linked key folders stay; a link whose target, or the folder
it names, cannot be checked is left and named; a copy of authorized_keys is
moved at any depth; a path changed in the last minute, at any depth, waits for
the next sweep; a retired folder on another file system fails the sweep before
anything is made; the list names each move before it is made; and each sweep's
outcome is kept for ssh_client_check, which shows a failed sweep as a problem.
A key's first line is read only so far.
The catalogue's new checks/sshdir refuses any manifest but ssh-client naming a
path under ~/.ssh (ADR 0415 §6). The README cites §7 for config.d.
Declares mail-store and mail-webclient (held once for the mesh) and mail-notifier
(held once per machine, needing node-notifier) per ADR 0378 as amended by ADR 0379.
Claims mail-store and serves its four verbs through the same handlers as the
existing mail_* tools. Moves the event shape (EventKey, Changes) into its own
file, mailevent.go, so mesh-mail-notifier (issue 800 part B) can carry a
byte-identical copy. Adds checks/mailstore, refusing any manifest but mesh-mail's
own that claims mail-store (ADR 0378 §3), wired into merge-check.sh.

grafana's client logged in with a token setting ahead of the vault's admin password,
and its runtime config let a layer set token. The token setting is now ignored and
said, token is protected, and the vault's password comes first.
checks/secrets/known could gain a line hiding a newly unprotected key. merge-check.sh
now judges it against the trunk's copy at the merge base, and refuses an added line.

A setting outranked the vault: baserow, grafana, letta and unifi merged a layer's
password over the ${secret:...} in their runtime config, and the gitea,
home-assistant, icecast, influxdb, mailu and nextcloud clients read the settings
file before the vault's file. A secret in a setting cannot be rotated and is read
back by the settings verb.
The four files now keep their password protected, so the controller refuses a
setting of it. The six clients ignore a secret in the settings file and say so
once, by key and never with the value; icecast reads its admin password from the
vault's file. checks/secrets refuses a mergeable file whose secret a layer could
replace; searxng's nested server.secret_key is listed as known until the
controller protects a nested key.

A module whose dependencies could not be fetched was said NOT TESTED and the
repository check passed, so a merge on it would have landed untested code.
The build seat clones the SDK beside every check already: a forge requirement
the module cache lacks is now taken from that clone through a go.mod of its
own, and a module that still cannot be built fails the check by name and why.
A TypeScript module whose dependencies the toolchain lacks fails the same way.

The managed settings apply to every account's claude, so a key-helper script under the
agent's home would run as the operator, and through sudo as root: the command is now
carried whole in the root-owned managed settings and reads the key only as the agent.
The helper reads only a regular file, bounded, without blocking, and a request it does
not answer fails in time instead of holding every later one; a directory entry it
answers that is not a name is refused. The guard's record is matched on its binary in
the query, a half-named agent account is not taken as the operator's, the kept API key
stays until the agent's home holds one, restic refuses to restore beside a directory
others may write, and the agent-home check cleans a path before judging it.

A condition told the operator to type the node-engine's binary at the machine, and nothing held the catalogue's texts to ADR 0272. The words check gains retired-lines — the controller's and the node-engine's commands, copied from hq's words.py --list lines, which compares it — and refuses one in any string a module's tools can show or any manifest description. The vault's and the route adapter's texts now say the nox line.
The node-engine writes those as root after checking the path, and the agent
account owns its home and could swap a link in between (hq ADR 0266). No
module does it today; this keeps a future one from opening the gap.

The SDK hands the current value over before Watch returns, and the follower had no
entry for it yet, so the first value was dropped. A silent watch is now told from an
expired key and watched again rather than polled, each write takes its own temporary
file, drop-in directories are no module's, and an entry added to the path check's lists
is refused unless its line says why.
A watch that died left the block silent, a removed block kept its value, and a value
frozen at its source looked fresh because its file was new. The follower now rereads a
silent value and says so, drops removed blocks, and dates each file by the reading's
own time. The path check takes /etc and /usr/local/lib in, ignores what a container sees
inside itself, and lists the five findings standing today, which may only go.
Modules talk over the bus. The power module's bundle puts each fresh reading of its own
sampler in its state draw, keyed by the machine; the bar's block shows that state, which
the bar's bundle watches under the read the mesh grants it. A new catalogue check refuses
a module naming another module's path under /run or /var/lib.
The pattern ended at the word, so control planes and flavors passed where
control plane and flavor fail. It now takes s or es on the last part; a
test holds it, and merge-check runs that test before the check.

An agent meets the mesh's words most often in tool descriptions, and
nothing compared them with the glossary: several still said "the host"
for the node-engine and the forge's pull request comment was headed
"Change plan", a word retired twice over. retired-words is the copy of
the words the glossary retires for the tools, and checks/words fails the
repository check when any string a module's code can show, or any
manifest description, uses one. Those found are reworded here.
