car-hunter #2 was approved and its commit status refused 403: mesh-tools only read the
repositories of a user. It is now a write collaborator on each repository the indexer's
modules state names (watched over the bus: at the start and on each registration), read
back and said as gitea.repo.writable; the operator's other repositories stay read-only.
gitea_grant_write and gitea_unwritable_repos do and show it by hand; gitea_commit_statuses
answers merge.writes.
mesh-catalog #495 gave read on every repository to the tools' account alone. The build modules
fetch over ssh as nox-builder (the forge-account provider's builders account, ADR 0466 §3), so
ace's and g14's fetch of jschoubben/car-hunter and jschoubben/snake still failed; the machines'
agents (nox-agent, ADR 0410 §1) could not read them either.
- gitea: readall.ts grants every account of one list, meshAccounts in tools-account.ts (mesh-tools,
nox-builder, nox-agent; a Go test holds the two Go names to internal/forgeaccount's constants),
on the same start pass, forge events and tools. gitea_unreadable_repos answers per account and
names the accounts the forge does not hold yet; gitea_grant_read takes accounts as well as
repositories. An absent account is asked nothing; the start pass runs again ten minutes apart
until every account was there once.
- mesh-build-go, mesh-build-node, mesh-build-image: pin mesh-sdk ff81bdf8 (fix/fetch-reads-all),
whose forgekey.Said keeps git's words past the bare "error:" line: the mirror's line said only
"git -C: error:". Their own git reasons (ls-files, ls-remote, rev-parse, repack) go through it too.
On 2026-10-26 13:40 group fix/734-lost-ask merged two of its three members: the forge answered mesh-delivery#73's
merge 405 "Please try again later", and in the seconds between, group feat/890-placement merged mesh-delivery#72,
so #73 then conflicted.
- mesh-delivery-gate: before any member is handed, every member is read for its required statuses, its head still
the approved one, and the forge's own mergeable (in conflict, or still being worked out); the forge's "no" is asked
again every 5 s for 2 minutes, then the group is held and said urgent with nothing merged.
- mesh-delivery-gate: an approved merge waits while another approved merge's pass is under way into a repository it
goes into (handed until merged whole, or stopped), whether or not mesh/check gates merges (it waits for a merge,
never for a check: ADR 0551).
- mesh-delivery-gate: tool delivery_merge_again asks a refused or held merge again on the operator's word.
- gitea: the merge asks again after the forge's 405 "Please try again later" (1 s, 2 s, 4 s), and a pull request
carries the forge's mergeable, which gitea_commit_statuses answers.

The operator, 2026-10-25 22:56: "run the check locally only, but not as a gate, it loses us too much time". Tonight each
merge ask waited 3-7 minutes for mesh/check, and every merge into main refused the next approved merge for a check judged
on the trunk before (mesh-delivery#52). Both settings default to true, so nothing changes until the operator sets them.
False: the gate makes a reviewed pull request ready and asks its Approve with no verdict, a trunk's move puts nothing out
of date, a verdict is kept and shown, and a group still merges in one pass; the merge tool merges a head the Approve
names whatever its mesh/check says. delivery_status and show say the mode.
At 12:37 on 2026-10-24 node-tools on novox was replaced; gitea's watcher bundle awaited the webhook's set-up on the forge's admin API at the top of its import, outlasted the 10 s handshake and was killed, never to start again. gitea_commit_status, gitea_merge_pull_request and gitea_events were then served nowhere: the forge bridge's calls found no responders and no new pull request was announced.
The runtime gives a watch's current values 10 s and waits for each to be taken; a forge write per key made ~200 keys outlast it at every attempt, so after node-tools restarted on novox at 23:25:58 the watch never held and no verdict reached mesh/check. Writes now run in the background, a few at a time, each key's in revision order.

The operator, 2026-10-23: "disable the gitea branch protection reset thing". setUpToolsAccount (run at every token mint) called ensureMainMerges regardless; it now does so only when the setting is true.
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.
The resolve hook needed the typescript package, which mesh-build-node keeps
out of the workspace (notCopied): tsc is reached only as the bin/tsc
command. So the test scripts now do what merge-check-typescript.sh did
before the tests: tsc over the module's sources with --outDir ., so the
sources' ./x.js imports resolve. The emitted .js is ignored by git.
The old TypeScript check compiled every source beside itself, and into
dist/, before it ran the tests; mesh-build-node runs `tsc -p .` (these
tsconfigs say noEmit) and then the package's test script, so:
- gitea and minio: the tests import the .ts sources, which import each
other as ./x.js. A resolve hook in test/ resolves such an import, when no
.js is there, to the .ts beside it and compiles it with the toolchain's
TypeScript (gitea's sources use parameter properties, which type
stripping refuses). 57 of gitea's tests and minio's links test failed.
- mosquitto: its ctrl test imports ../dist/client.js; its test script now
builds first, as gitea's does.
Test scripts and a test helper only; what is built and delivered is the same.
The checker builds a package with a build script by its tsconfig (strict),
where requiredOf and TrunkForge's appliedProtection said
status_check_contexts is string[] and BranchProtection says string[] | null:
four TS2345 errors, hidden on main behind earlier failures. Types only; the
emitted code is the same, and a test holds that null contexts require nothing.

R4e round 2 finding R2-1, ADR 0521: the delivery plan draws no edge that
orders the forge module before the forge bridge, and the forge module's
durable consumer keeps its deliver policy when its filters change, so a
check.status the bridge emitted before the forge module consumed it was lost.
An in-memory revision guard also forgot itself on a restart.
The forge module now reads mesh-delivery-checker.owed, which the checker
announces readable, by a watch: the watch hands over the latest value of every
key whenever the module starts, so a status written while it was away is
written then, and only the latest. Each mesh/check is written once per
revision, an older one dropped; a forge refusal is asked again on a bound
until written or overtaken; a refused read is said once and asked again until
granted. No tool writes mesh/check, and no check.status is consumed.
Review finding K1 of R4e, issue 1301 S4 (ADR 0503 §3, ADR 0513 §4: the forge
requires mesh/check alone). gitea_check_status assumed only the bridge could
call it, but a tool is told no caller and node-tools invokes every tool, so any
session could set mesh/check to success and merge past the checker: the fault
issue 293 closed for the two statuses before it.
gitea now consumes mesh-delivery-forge-bridge.check.status, a subject the bus
grants to the bridge's own account alone, and check.ts writes mesh/check from
it: the source is checked, the head's whole sha and the state, and a revision
older than one already written on the head is dropped so a redelivered stale
pending never hides a verdict; a forge refusal throws, so the event is
delivered again. gitea_check_status is removed, and gitea_commit_status keeps
refusing mesh/check.
gitea's index.ts conflicted on imports: kept both, the leaf's statesAnnouncement and the gate's checkStatusTool.
mesh-delivery-gate is pinned to the sdk lane's newest head d1af87a (the leaf had a90f523) until the final SDK head.
Once main requires mesh/check, the controller publishes no verdict for it and
the gate, which moved deliveries on the controller's checked, would hold every
pull request proposed. A head's mesh/check is now its verdict, from the
forge's status event (gitea now sends the status's words) or its open pull
requests. The Approve is asked only on the checker's verdict at exactly the
heads the ask covers, so a member judged alone never passes its group; a
group on mesh/check asks no composed check and owes no mesh/merge-gate; a
member's mesh/check that changes withdraws the ask. Nothing is asked of the
controller for such a base, and recheck refuses, naming checker_pull. hq's
mesh/repo-check keeps today's path.
Once main requires mesh/check, nothing writes mesh/merge-gate, and the merge
tool, which judged on it, would refuse every merge. It now judges on the
status the base requires: mesh/check's line names the trunk it judged, an
out-of-date one is refused and nothing is asked (the checker re-checks on a
trunk move, ADR 0447 §4); hq's mesh/repo-check is judged as before. The
announcer, the verdict, a trunk's move and a build's start write the
controller's two statuses only where a base still requires them, so hq keeps
mesh/repo-check and no stale mesh/merge-gate appears anywhere else.
Once main requires mesh/check, a hand that set it could pass a merge past the
checker, the gap issue 293 closed for the two statuses before it.
gitea_commit_status now refuses mesh/check in every state, and the new
gitea_check_status writes it alone; the bus grants that tool only to a module
whose manifest invokes it, the forge bridge (the lead's choice A).

The listing's top sha is the commit's, not the root tree's (seen live, novox/mesh-delivery at 7f61817), so
gitea_commit_trees now computes the root tree as git does, from the entries without a slash. The query keys
recursive and per_page stay in the allow-list: read flags only.
gitea_commit_trees reads the commit's recursive tree listing and answers the root tree and the
tree of every directory holding a module.json; a cut listing fails loudly. gitea_open_pulls
entries gain head. The query keys recursive and per_page join the allow-list, read flags only.
mesh-delivery decodes open pulls with json.Unmarshal into a struct (cmd/mesh-delivery/ports.go:405-410),
which ignores the added key.
A group has no order: mesh-delivery asks the controller for none, reads no after:
line (it says once that the line is not read), merges every member in one pass
once the composed check passed and the Approve covers the heads, and gives the
plan its word once every member is merged. A failed member stops no other. The
composed verdict sets each member's mesh/merge-gate (pending, saying why, until
one stands), the groups answer says composed_gate, and a trunk move asks the
out-of-date members' checks at once and merges on the same Approve (issue 1047).
The review finishes before the push and its record is a Reviewed-by line in the
description, so the mark repeated what the push meant. mesh-delivery asks the
operator when a pull request's checks pass, keeps an ask through a trunk move
by asking the check again at once, and hands the merge tool the approved heads,
which replace the forge review of each sibling.

mesh-delivery's groups names each member's pull request, head, base and whether it is open (member_details), so the controller can read a member's siblings beside its check. The forge's holder keeps the siblings each verdict read, puts that verdict out of date when a sibling gets a new head, closes, or its base moves by anything but its own merge, and the merge tool merges such a member only when mesh/delivery-group passed at the heads read and each sibling head is approved. The statuses name the siblings, or say they could not be learned.

The forge answers a repository's protection rules to its administrator
alone, and the tools' account no longer is one (ADR 0365), so every
delivery building a module failed at the controller's build-source check
with a 403. gitea_branch_protection_get now reads the rules with the
administrator account (ADR 0375); it only reads, and the protection set
and every write stay refused to the tools' account. Issue 772.

The tools' token reached everything the administrator may do, so their boundary rested on their own guards.
The gitea module now makes a plain account, mesh-tools, with the admin login, gives it write on code, issues
and pull requests of every novox repository through one team, and mints the tools' token for it; the admin's
old token goes only after the new one is kept. The Go forge bundle sends that token, never the admin login.
The forge shows protection rules only to a repository administrator, so every check reads a branch's
protection from the branch. mesh-admin stays a ready author, so marks made before the move keep counting.

POST /admin/hooks on gitea 1.27.3 makes a default webhook unless
config.is_system_webhook is "true": a default webhook fires for no existing
repository, and the system listing does not name it, so every start made
another and no event reached the receiver. Its edit never changes a secret
or a kind, so the new system webhook is made first and read back, then every
other hook at the receiver is deleted: system, default, and each
repository's copy of a default one, which would send its events twice.
gitea_events says where the receiver listens, the hook as ensured and what
it replaced, the verified and refused deliveries and the polls' pace. When
nothing verified for ten minutes, since the start or the last delivery,
while the poll found two heads or merges no event said, it is logged loudly
once per silent spell and answered unhealthy; so are deliveries refused
since the last verified one.
