mesh/merge-gate pass: builds dunst, messenger → g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
The build live since 14:38 keeps tokens as token -> index; reading them as grants
failed and skipped the record. A quiet warning known from history was never
reminded, and an answer could silence another condition than its own.

Review found that any process of the operator's account can choose a dunst action,
so a click could release or stop a delivery in the operator's name; that tokens
lived for ever; that a warning's answers died in ten seconds; and that a restarted
notifier left dead buttons (hq ADR 0258).

The operator could not tell from a notification whether to act, nor act without
opening a session. Each message now opens with a verdict, a warning that needs
nothing is not sent, and a notification offers answers the messenger performs
through their seat verbs; dunst's send gains actions and says the chosen one
(hq ADR 0253).
The desktop popups were walls of plan ids, commits, keys and verb syntax in UTC.
The messenger now shows the condition's headline, explanation and resolved line,
since when in the operator's time zone, and a clearance in one line (hq ADR 0253).
A consumer made on 2026-10-06 was handed three hours of raised-and-cleared
conditions at once and the holder said each as new: 20 desktop notifications
in a second. What is said is now decided by the controller's open set and by
an event's own time, never by its arrival; bursts are one message, the
desktop gets warnings at most every 15 min, the cap is said once, and the
first minute after start says only the urgent conditions still open.
Replays of that morning's 96 events are tests. Also drops two committed
binaries. (novox/hq issue 271)
The mesh noticed 48 core failures in six days and told nobody (ADR 0227).
messenger holds the operator-channel seat: it consumes the controller's
condition events and sends them to Telegram and the desktop notifier,
deduplicated by key, reminded once, edited on clear, capped at 20 an hour
with the rest folded, and refusing anything carrying an address, a path or
a secret. mesh-watcher, on a machine other than the control node, sends to
Telegram directly when the self-check heartbeat or the bus goes silent.
