Met again 2026-10-25: group fix/puller-wakes-on-capacity was merged half. Three causes in the gate:
- The next member's turn compared the group's state with "delivering", a word GroupState no longer says
since release 6 renamed it "merging" (ready.go groupTurnToMerge). Once the first member's merge was heard
from the forge the group read merging, and the second member waited for ever. Group states are now named
constants, the turn goes on in ready and merging (groupMayMerge), and a test holds every word to it.
- Members merged in id order, so mesh-catalog went before the mesh-sdk commit it pins. membersOf now orders
by mergeRank: mesh-sdk first, then members that change no go.mod or go.sum, then those that do.
- No condition was raised: the controller's self-check that read `stalled` went with release 6
(mesh-controller dc456d56). The gate now says its stalled lines as conditions itself on the
operator-channel seat (ADR 0437 §9) after every look, clears those listed no more, and keeps which it
raised in its new bucket conditions. A held group's line says "half merged" when a member merged.
A pass held for a required status no longer retries on a timer: the status turning success is the event
that asks the merge again.
Release 6 deletes the plans: the walk half of the holder, the controller port, the carry-over of the former module and the verbs times, what-if, release, stop and retire-history go; the table holds proposed, ready, rejected, merged, held and closed; the delivery's status and view name the source revision the merge moved.
The controller's forget-checks goes with the merge gate's checks (ADR 0503 §3)
and 1318 removes the verb in the same group, so the gate must stop calling it
first: a closed pull request is stopped and asks the controller nothing, and
the manifest no longer invokes it. delivery-check stays for hq's base until
R4g (the lead's decision for 1302).
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.
A proposed delivery whose asked check no queue entry holds stayed proposed for good (met in 1311, 1336, 1726, 1792, 1795, 1833). The sweep reads the controller's queue and asks again past max(10 minutes, the repository's last check time); recheck from proposed is taken on the same fact; never while the queue holds one.
mesh-config raises config-changed (hold, drop) naming the pull request; the delivery, or its group's
composed check, is asked again on the gate's own path, with why in the transition. Not the recheck verb.
