Reverts bbd9f638, c2e017a4 and b6884796; cmd/mesh-nats-snapshot/restore.go is as before them. The manifest test
asserts the claim serves only the reading verbs and the keeper's state is asked, requests, spent.

Sends reads a claim of a seat whose definition has a verb or an event, or an event of its own; AsksOf reads
an entry's bus-state asks and claims. The follower's branch and the wiring wait on the design's answer.

Verbs snapshot-kept and restore-kept (with aside-only and discard-aside) on the seat mesh-broker, handed to the
keeper; taken over from the join's 0480e16f and c4e88eaa, without the verbs aside and discard-aside and the tool
nats_kept, which no design line gives.

The store is made by Keeper.Sends, kept when a verdict asks nothing of it, and a full one says `full`.
Which module sends is NATS3's input (the catalog half); this makes the store.

Held.binding is the entry's plan binding, the value its created and recreated
carry, present when the bus holds the entry's objects and absent on one it does
not (waiting, refused). Table rows in the reading verbs' test: the binding of a
held entry equals the one its created carries; a waiting entry has none.

A lost event between a shared stream and a module's consumer could not be located: no tool read a consumer's delivered and acknowledged sequence or a stream's messages for one subject. nats_consumer reads from the monitoring document; nats_stream_messages asks STREAM.MSG.GET on the module's own credential, newest first and bounded.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KEq4zoDfM9WtYpcQgZ
nats_keeper_health found the keeper's consumer novox_nats_keeper in /jsz, but the read it shares with the
broker verbs asked /jsz?accounts=1&streams=1&config=1, without consumers=1, so keeperPending always read -1
and the keeper was "unhealthy: what waits on its consumer cannot be read from the bus's monitoring" for
ever (2026-11-08, issue 1966).

mesh-knowledge's stream reviews says max-age-days "none", which the indexer's judge accepts
(judge/busstate.go noAge), but the keeper refused it ("not a whole number"), so the stream was
never made and the keeper stayed unhealthy (2026-11-08, issue 1966). Quick fix; the thorough one,
one shared reader of the template options in mesh-sdk catalogue for the judge and the keeper, is
noted on issue 1966.

Kind: short package names (builds, sshkeys, forgemsg, backupgood,
diskreadings, grantsstate, busgrants) in `packages`, which the indexer's
judge refuses by design 32's rule (a Go package is named by its go.mod's
module path). This held mesh-delivery-gate, the build modules, mounts and
restic. Each key is now the import path the module's code uses, with its
series kept; the manifest tests read the new keys, and the host/machine-name
word tests in mounts, nfs-server, mesh-build-node and mesh-delivery-gate
look past the path's `git.novox.be/novox/` prefix.
Quick fix: only the gate's manifest. Thorough fix (chosen): all 15, since
the same refusal holds each. Follow-up for the checker: the candidate
verdict lets such a name through (J7(3)), so the merge check did not stop it.

A member's go.mod names the oldest version a module accepts; the check builds the group's own heads whatever it names. go.sum lines of mesh packages are left out.

Review round 2 of the registry milestone:
- security F2: the spend record leaves requests, which the tools write as the tool runner's account, for state spent,
named in the keeper's bus.state and declared read-only (the lead's 18:1x ruling: the tools read it, never write);
nats_requests lists the warrants spent from it;
- running F1: the fill pass also runs while the manifest-accepted consumer is bound again;
- health note 3: an event said on the seat's subject and refused by its history is kept with its one id and said again
on the history alone, never again with a new id;
- seams note 3, health note 4: words unsaid with a status that cannot be written raise the keeper's own condition
status-unwritten, cleared when it is written; the health names what a restart would lose.

Every module that imports mesh-sdk requires its group head; each requires the mesh-contracts seats and clients it
imports, and mesh-contracts/go through the SDK's seat list. The placeholder versions are gone.

Review round 1 of the registry milestone (design 25 § 12.2, § 12.3, § 12.7):
- the fill pass runs from the start, while the first view is asked;
- recreate and drop wake on the operator channel's decided on the keeper's durable consumer, never a minute's tick;
- a warrant is spent by compare-and-set (acted.<ask id> in requests) before anything is deleted; a second request on it
is refused; a request whose ask ended unanswered is ended, said; the ask is raised before the request is handed;
- created is marked only once said; an event or a condition the bus did not take is kept, named by the health and
said again at the next fill pass with its one id, on the subjects left (the double publish);
- the health judges the first view past its bound and never skips an unread consumer backlog;
- an unrecordable hand act is said on the request; nats_requests reads what waits, what ended and each warrant spent,
and drops a waiting request by hand; a tool waits for its request's end on one watch of requests;
- the whole-module test reads the warrant from the router's record under a process connection.

mesh-sdk holds neither asks nor asker, nor the vault's answer types, and mesh-delivery's
sdk/views is mesh-sdk's go/views (a1-progress.md, the rewrite map for the join): thirteen
modules switch to the operatorchannel contract and client, mesh-sdk's channel package and
meshvault, with go.mod requiring each at the group pin (nats: meshbroker too). The gate
holds the checks mesh-sdk dropped (an ask's id is its key's asking, at least one option),
with a row that fails without them; claude-code refuses a router record whose times do
not parse, as its JSON decode did, with a row.

list, show and orphans answer meshbroker.ListAnswer, Held and OrphansAnswer; check answers CheckAnswer with each
differing entry's settings asked and held by stream and whether the difference only grows; show takes the contract's
local-name. Built against mesh-contracts' seats/meshbroker module in the workspace; the group pin adds its require.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The lead's ruling of 13:0x (registry milestone): mesh-broker's events are mesh.seat.mesh-broker.event.<event> on the
shared events stream like every seat's, and the bus module's own 30-day stream keeps each for its history tool.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The keeper already reads the router's record of the ask on its own account and verifies the
warrant itself (bound to this act on this entry, at the destroy level), so only the rows are new.

module, local-name, storage-type, template, options, configuration, bus-name,
asked, held, fill, snapshot and why as the seat's definition in mesh-contracts
names them, so taking its generated type changes no byte; binding (a ledger's
several names) and revision (the indexer's, of the verdict acted on) beside,
asked of the definition.

Design 25 § 12.7's rows, as subtests of one test on one server (CAT-N10): a
verdict, then created on its own stream BROKER_EVENTS, the objects on the bus;
a restart catching up a verdict given while it was down; a replay older than
the first view not applied and a module missing from the first view keeping
its key; a drift said, a growth applied and the drift cleared; a refused
create with no created; a log at a small cap refusing, full raised and cleared;
an orphan dropped only on the operator's warrant, after a snapshot written
whole, recorded as a hand act; nats_first_view_again's hand act.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The bus module's tool hands the ask to the keeper through its own state
requests (design 25 § 12.2), as the caller the tool runner proved; the keeper
asks indexer_bus_state at once beside its backoff, applies what it answers,
records the hand act and writes back what it answered and at which revision.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
It reads the keeper's status from its own state asked, what the keeper holds,
and how many accepted verdicts wait on its consumer <node>_nats_keeper on
EVENTS from the monitoring endpoint, and answers HealthOf's judgement:
unhealthy, naming why, past the three-minute bound; the entries refused,
waiting and past the raise mark named beside.

The mesh deletes a module's kept data only through drop and recreate (ADR
0595 §4 as its insight has it; design 25 § 12.3): nats_stream_remove,
nats_bucket_remove and nats_consumer_remove read the keeper's own state asked
and refuse a stream or bucket the keeper made, before the bus is reached,
naming nats_drop and nats_recreate; one that cannot be told apart is not
removed. The old sections' entries are removed as before. Rows of the
existing refusal test.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The bus module's tools hold no grant of the seat's acting verbs (design 25
§ 12.3): nats_create, nats_apply, nats_recreate and nats_drop write a request
into the keeper's own state requests, stamped with stdio.CallerOf (a name in
the arguments is never the caller), and read its end back. recreate and drop
raise the operator's ask first, its option binding exactly that act; the
keeper acts only on the router's warrant for it (Warrant.For, Option.Performs),
after a snapshot of the entry's streams (bussnap, moved from the snapshot
command with a streams filter), says recreated or dropped, and records every
act as a hand act through mesh-hand-acts. A drop removes an orphan alone.

Served by the bus module's bundle from the keeper's own state asked and the
bus's monitoring endpoint (design 25 § 12.3): each entry's template, bus
names, settings asked and held and fill against its cap; check names each
object missing or differing; orphans what no accepted manifest asks for.
nats_history reads one entry's events, in order, from the bus module's own
stream BROKER_EVENTS on the tools' credential. The manifest test now holds
every tool and reading verb the manifest names to what the bundle serves.
