The nightly distribution.collect (installed today 14:35, first run 2026-10-06 03:30) runs the stock registry garbage-collect, which keeps only blobs a manifest names. The mesh's bundles and archives are bare blobs no manifest names, so the first run would delete every one, current ones included (claude-code/tools, mesh-host/host-arch, mesh-controller/controller, node-tools/runtime and ~100 more). Measured read-only: 6 096 of 8 186 blobs unmarked; the current claude-code and mesh-host bundles are marked 0 times.

This adds --dry-run: the run reports what it would delete and deletes nothing. Real collection comes back once the controller holds each kept archive with a manifest (follow-up, hq issue 253). One-line change; module check ok.

distribution: collect as a dry run until every kept bundle is held by a manifest a66a23582f

The stock collector keeps only what a manifest names, and the mesh's bundles
and archives are bare blobs no manifest names: its first run, tonight at
03:30, would delete every one, the current ones included. It now reports
what it would delete and deletes nothing, until the controller holds each
kept archive with a manifest. hq issue 253.

Delivery novox/mesh-catalog@ebacf79c91cd — held since 2026-10-06T23:05:28Z

Held for a person: merged without a passing check: only a person decides that it goes on — mesh-delivery.release with why lets it go on.

Delivery plan — builds distribution → novox; no bus step

tier 0: distribution
novox: receives distribution
distribution provides artifact-store: its consumers are sent again after it
distribution keeps data (ADR 0233): what it holds is backed up before it moves
