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.
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 byte-order mark, a flow mapping or a merged key hid a key the line scan
looked for, and @path read any file into every session the item reached
(hq issue 340 review).
The module is one Go binary the runtime launches: the renderer (its
instruction file held byte for byte to the TypeScript one it replaces),
the credentials and identity files, the licence flow of ADR 0206 and the
MCP servers in state. Keeps the TypeScript module's key files, so a node
moving to it keeps its key. The npm package, its tests and its build go.
Both binaries were run together under the real runtime on a test bus with
postgres and a stub vendor: a login was adopted by one exchange, the node
bound and handed an access token, its file left with no refresh token, and
no token in either state.
