The gitea bundle binds its consumers of mesh-controller.checked and node-build-agent.started in a loop (new bind.ts): a refused bind is said and asked again after 2 s, 5 s, 10 s, then every 30 s, until it holds.
Why
Issue 1793, case 2 (mesh-catalog#427, 2026-10-22 00:28-00:32): the bundle started with node-tools at 00:28:35, its bind of the consumer novox_gitea was answered 'nats: no responders available for request' (the runtime's bus part was not up yet), and the unhandled rejection ended the bundle. Nothing logged from it after 00:29:21, so the verdict of 00:32:18 was never heard and the statuses stayed at the 00:27:56 out-of-date ones. The out-of-date logic was not at fault. (The bridge treating the same refusal as final is issue 1801, not changed here. Case 1, #430, is a different cause: the bundle stayed up; fixed by mesh-catalog#424.)
How it is checked
test/bind.test.ts: a bind refused three times with no responders is asked again with waits 2/5/10 s and then holds; a bind that holds first time says nothing; the wait caps at 30 s.
mesh-controller.try on 0d2686b5 against trunk 839be0eb: pass (go and typescript parts, 54s), build-1792622257520937676.

✔ each open pull request's new head is announced once, and nothing closed or merged (15.307119ms)
✔ a verdict is the head commit's status; an error is the forge's error, never a success (1.163138ms)
✔ each layer is its own status: the gate with the modules it judged, the repository's own check beside it (0.798112ms)
✔ no verdict sets warning on a required check; only a person's decision fails (1.117653ms)
✔ a commit status is set on the commit, under the merge check's context (39.287277ms)
✔ a change plan is the gate's result: said on the status and, when it builds something, as a comment (0.514207ms)

✔ a composed verdict sets every member's gate at its own head, naming its trunk and the group (0.40911ms)

**Merge check** at `0d2686b5`
Judged: head `0d2686b5ebee` merged into trunk `4b8e7f11cf53`; read beside it: mesh-controller `a929df9b0ec3`, mesh-controller-main `a929df9b0ec3`, mesh-host `4065b45ae84f`, mesh-tools `e0fadc43d9dd`
- `mesh/merge-gate`: **PASS** — every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose) (modules: gitea)
- `mesh/repo-check`: **PASS** — its merge-check.sh passed, each part in its toolchain: merge-check.sh (go), merge-check-typescript.sh (typescript)
**Delivery plan** — builds gitea → novox; no bus step
- tier 0: gitea
- novox: receives gitea
- gitea provides npm-package-registry, git, gitea-read, forge-account: its consumers are sent again after it
- gitea keeps data (ADR 0233): what it holds is backed up before it moves

✔ each forge event is named in the module's stream and trimmed (0.490062ms)
✔ the webhook is made a system webhook, which the forge sends every repository's events to (1.261704ms)
✔ default webhooks left at the receiver by an earlier start are replaced by one system webhook (1.343067ms)
✔ a repository's copy of a default webhook at the receiver is deleted, on every page, and said (3.049287ms)
✔ a forge that makes no system webhook is said, never taken as heard (0.599889ms)
✔ the receiver tells what it verified and what it refused (9.314835ms)
✔ a forge that never delivers is said loudly once, and unhealthy, when the poll finds what no event said (1.210688ms)
✔ a forge whose events stop after one delivery is said loudly once per silent spell, and refusals are unhealthy (0.486926ms)
✔ without a receiver by configuration the polls alone watch, healthy; a receiver that failed is unhealthy (0.303421ms)
✔ the polls look every 30 s until events are heard, every five minutes while they are, and 30 s again on a miss (0.18606ms)
✔ a pull request's edit event carries its description, and no other pull request event does (issue 1079) (0.213391ms)

What
The gitea bundle binds its consumers of mesh-controller.checked and node-build-agent.started in a loop (new bind.ts): a refused bind is said and asked again after 2 s, 5 s, 10 s, then every 30 s, until it holds.
Why
Issue 1793, case 2 (mesh-catalog#427, 2026-10-22 00:28-00:32): the bundle started with node-tools at 00:28:35, its bind of the consumer novox_gitea was answered 'nats: no responders available for request' (the runtime's bus part was not up yet), and the unhandled rejection ended the bundle. Nothing logged from it after 00:29:21, so the verdict of 00:32:18 was never heard and the statuses stayed at the 00:27:56 out-of-date ones. The out-of-date logic was not at fault. (The bridge treating the same refusal as final is issue 1801, not changed here. Case 1, #430, is a different cause: the bundle stayed up; fixed by mesh-catalog#424.)
