A merge older than the watching is history, not news

An old merge past the first page of the forge's listing surfaced as newer pull requests were
updated, and was announced as if it had just happened; the mesh then rebuilt everything built from
that repository, once per old merge. The moment the watching began is kept with the record, and
only a merge made since is announced.

-// lavinmq's provisioner — the adapter that makes lavinmq a provider of the mesh `amqp` interface.
-// The reconcile loop, the contributions file, and reading the mesh's minted password are the sdk
-// harness's; this writes only the per-service half: how lavinmq creates and removes a consumer's own
-// broker (novox/hq ADR 0039/0040/0048).
-//
-// The `amqp` interface: a consumer connects as `as` with the password the mesh minted, to a vhost
-// named for that same login — its own message broker, isolated from every other consumer's by the
-// vhost boundary. It is a broker of its own, not a shared account on the mesh's control-plane broker.
-//
-// **The login and password are the mesh's, not the provisioner's (novox/hq ADR 0048).** The mesh
-// derives the login and hands it to both ends so they agree, and mints the password and delivers a
-// copy to each. lavinmq creates exactly that user with exactly that password — a name or password the
-// provisioner invented is one the consumer could never present.
-//
-// Vhost-per-login is the isolation model, the exact analog of postgres's database-per-login: the
-// consumer owns one vhost, named for its login, and a user with full rights on that vhost and no
-// rights anywhere else. lavinmq enforces it — a user with no permission on `/` is refused the moment
-// it opens that vhost (`NOT_ALLOWED`), so a login is a broker the consumer alone can reach.
