Issue 1841 (notes 15 and 17; acceptance 1841/AC20-AC22). The operator said yes (22:00) to full upgrades one at a time, novox first; novox's keeper refused at once: "run 20220123T194900Z is still going (its last step is finished): one run at a time". That run is novox's install-time upgrade, read from its pacman log.
Cause: the one-run-at-a-time check (modules/pacman/cmd/pacman-tools/transaction.go) asked ended(), which counts only refused and checked-after; a run read from the log ends at finished or failed and never gets checked-after, so every log run counted as going and every node (ace, g14, novox, shanks) refused every upgrade.
transaction.go: holdsTheDatabase(r): only a run the mesh ran whose last step is none, recorded, checked-before or started holds a new run back; used by the upgrade and the rollback checks. ended() is unchanged, so the after-upgrade check is still written for a live finished run; the db.lck check is unchanged.
main.go: pacman_upgrades with a run and no node reads this machine's run (the mesh MCP server drops node when the address names the machine), so one run can be read whole.
Tests failed first: 1841/AC20 (the live refusal message), AC21, AC22. Try build-1792699533370977665 PASS.
What the operator sees: after delivery (pacman to ace, g14, novox, shanks) a full upgrade asked through the mesh runs; the lead then asks novox's, shanks's and g14's in turn.

Reviewed-by: review-1841-run@shanks at 3ad9d42be923b700a96ed9f1717ca29c44f07412
Every run imported from the log ends at finished or failed and is never checked after, so the
one-run-at-a-time rule counted each as still going: novox's ask of 2026-10-22 22:00 was refused on
its install-time run 20220123T194900Z, and every node holds such runs. The rule now holds back a new
run only for a run the mesh ran whose transaction may still go on.
pacman_upgrades refused a run without its node, and the console takes node out of the arguments of
an address that names the machine, so no run could be read whole: a run without a node is now that
machine's.

Issue 1841 (notes 15 and 17; acceptance 1841/AC20-AC22). The operator said yes (22:00) to full upgrades one at a time, novox first; novox's keeper refused at once: "run 20220123T194900Z is still going (its last step is finished): one run at a time". That run is novox's install-time upgrade, read from its pacman log.
Cause: the one-run-at-a-time check (modules/pacman/cmd/pacman-tools/transaction.go) asked ended(), which counts only refused and checked-after; a run read from the log ends at finished or failed and never gets checked-after, so every log run counted as going and every node (ace, g14, novox, shanks) refused every upgrade.
Tests failed first: 1841/AC20 (the live refusal message), AC21, AC22. Try build-1792699533370977665 PASS.
What the operator sees: after delivery (pacman to ace, g14, novox, shanks) a full upgrade asked through the mesh runs; the lead then asks novox's, shanks's and g14's in turn.
