messenger's refusal took its declaration of operator-channel out of the judged catalogue, so claude-code's use of it
was refused too. distribution's two remaining refusals (its program builds beside the artifact store it provides,
and its only health check is its own tool) are a design question left to the lead.

A person who later makes a team named packages or readers would have lost it at the next start. A team
counts as the provisioner's only in its organisation and when every member is one of its accounts (it
put its own accounts there alone, and they go with the first run), so a team made later stays.

registry_incoming, npm_incoming and go_incoming dropped a transfer by hand with only a log line. Each
drop now records its hand act through the seat mesh-hand-acts before anything goes, as nats_requests
does; an act not recorded leaves the transfer open. distribution's manifest invokes the seat.

A transfer whose idle key ended while the bundle was down was never dropped. Both hand mesh-sdk's
FollowIdle their open transfers, which it gives Expired once the watch is taken.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
Both holders carried the same idle bound and the same read of incoming's cap; the second instance of the
kind moved into mesh-sdk's Receiver (Arm, Expired, Bound, with BusArm, BusCap and FollowIdle). Each
holder now hands its idle state and its objects to those, and keeps its rows.

ADR 0605 §5 revokes the npm write token, and the 14:04 deferral is withdrawn (security review F5): the
accounts the removed pair provisioner made (mesh_<node>_<consumer>) still logged in with write on the
organisation's packages. cmd/agent-teams, run at each start of the module and change of its teams value,
removes both teams and each account of that form whose only teams they are, never purging: one the forge
refuses to delete because it owns something keeps it and has its login prohibited.

The package seats kept incoming, transfers and findings with no read or drop tool (tools review F4).
npm_incoming and go_incoming list a seat's open transfers, incoming's fill and the cap its binding carries,
and drop one by hand. The same fault as distribution's (running review F2, its second instance): the
transfers state's own lifetime dropped a transfer's key and left its chunks, and the drop otherwise waited
for the next publish. transfers keeps for good; each open transfer has a key in the new state idle with its
own time to live, whose end drops it. The holder counts against its binding's cap.

A3's merge auto-merged a second invokes into mesh-build-go's manifest
(the registry seats' publish verbs beside the indexer's read tool); a
decoder kept the last and dropped the read tool, which
TestTheModuleReadsTheIndexersManifests caught. One list holds both.
gitea's package-registry row named only the builder's versions; the
manifest also asks the indexer's modules and records a re-read.

The Go bundle raises packages-token-refused in the module's findings state when the forge
answers 401 to a write; the watcher mints afresh on that key's event and clears it (lead's
ruling on A3n, map-onto-how-the-mesh-is-built: nothing waits on a timer).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The bundle built and played as the tool runtime plays it, its incoming, transfers and findings on
a nats-server of the test, the builder's builder_versions and the config value callers answered:
a numbered Go package goes up in two chunks as the packages account and says published with its
module path; an unnumbered one is refused before the forge and writes the finding. A publish
naming no transfer is now refused: the transfer's name is the caller's own.

Design 51 keeps each holder's write side as an own secret beside a read-only tool token. The Go
bundle wrote as the forge's administrator; it now reads with the tools' token (read:package added)
and writes with the mesh-packages account's token (write:package alone), which the watcher makes,
mints, keeps and renews.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
go_packages and go_retention read the forge's Go registry as npm_* read npm's: a version a
go.mod on a default branch requires (or replaces to) is kept, with the newest keep; a go.mod
that cannot be read stops a real run before anything is deleted; each deletion says removed
on the Go seat, under the module path and without Go's leading v (design 51 *Retention*).

go-package-registry, mesh scope, read with no credential, is offered only by the forge module's new build, so
mesh-build-go's fetch from the Go seat waits for it (design 51, E2); its read side is the forge's Go proxy. The
npm registry's public-root stays served (ADR 0346 §6, the operator 2026-11-04). Both rows of the forge's
manifest test.

A test that slept a fixed time and then asserted what a goroutine, process or
watcher did failed under the checker's load. Each now waits for its positive
evidence (a started baseline, a call counted, a state reached) within 30 s, and
the concurrency-limit tests meet at a barrier instead of overlapping by sleep.

The operator, 2026-10-23: "disable the gitea branch protection reset thing". The 10-minute tick and the start-time
ensureMainMerges, and the repositories sync's changes to existing repositories' main rules, now run only when the new
setting is true; new repositories are still made. The sync says in its outcome that rules were left.
The operator merges by hand at the forge when the mesh's own path is stuck,
without changing a rule. The logins come from the trusted config value
main-mergers, merged into the runtime config both programs read.
The forge's required status was a second copy of the gate mesh-delivery and
the merge tool already keep; a stuck status writer held it too (issues 1886,
1891) and only a hand change at the forge let a fix merge. Main keeps no push,
the tools' merge whitelist and no administrator override. The merge tool
judges mesh/check whether or not the branch requires it, and on a branch that
requires none merges only a head the operator's Approve names. The protection
tool loses its status argument.
ADR 0447 §1 has main require mesh/check alone. The repositories program now
requires it in place of mesh/merge-gate and mesh/repo-check on every listed
repository and on every other one whose main requires mesh/merge-gate, so the
switch needs no hand-kept list (lead decisions L4, L11). A main requiring
mesh/repo-check alone (hq) keeps it until issue 1296 (ADR 0503 §5).

narrowed never set block_admin_merge_override, so novox/mesh-delivery's
main let an administrator merge past mesh/merge-gate and mesh/repo-check,
unlike every other repository's main since 2026-10-07. narrowed sets it and
isRight requires it, so the module's next start puts mesh-delivery right.

The file was merged by the controller (merge, takes-config), which writes a
config change only on the node's next send (ADR 0348 §10): the operator's
Approve of the mesh-delivery repository set the value and nothing made it.
A plain template saying ${config:repositories} is filled by the provisioner
client on config-changed, and the node-engine reruns the run-once program
that names the file under restart-on.
