Part of novox/hq ADR 0244 (the mesh in domains, one word per thing).

  • retired-words — the copy of the words the hq glossary retires for the tools' descriptions (its Not: words with no scope or (tools)). hq's words.py compares it with the glossary when given a checkout of this repository. Vendor words are never on it, so a wrapped program's own users, releases or hosts are never findings.
  • checks/words (Go, no dependencies), run first in merge-check.sh over every module: fails when any string literal in a module's own non-test code (descriptions, answer notes, errors), or any description in a manifest, uses a retired word. Comments are not read.
  • Reworded what it and review found: the forge module's pull request comment heading "Change plan" -> "Delivery plan"; the lab's run script "build machine" -> "builder"; and, by review since "the host" is retired in hq prose only (an SSH server's own word here), the docker, systemd, nftables and slack strings that meant the node-engine. Descriptions and messages only; no tool name changed. Tests that matched the old text updated.

Run: sh merge-check.sh with the touched modules — words pass; docker, systemd and slack Go tests pass; nftables remove.test.ts passes locally; gitea's TypeScript tests are not runnable here (as the check says). Merging rebuilds docker, systemd, slack, gitea, nftables and lab for a text change.

An agent meets the mesh's words most often in tool descriptions, and
nothing compared them with the glossary: several still said "the host"
for the node-engine and the forge's pull request comment was headed
"Change plan", a word retired twice over. retired-words is the copy of
the words the glossary retires for the tools, and checks/words fails the
repository check when any string a module's code can show, or any
manifest description, uses one. Those found are reworded here.

Delivery novox/mesh-catalog@73bb597c1622 — delivered since 2026-10-07T18:37:55Z

Delivery plan — builds docker, gitea, lab, nftables, slack, systemd → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; 4 wait(s) for a person

  • tier 0: docker, gitea, lab, nftables, slack, systemd
  • ace: receives docker, systemd; waits for a person: nftables
  • g14: receives docker, slack, systemd; waits for a person: nftables
  • novox: receives docker, gitea, systemd; waits for a person: nftables
  • shanks: receives docker, lab, slack, systemd; waits for a person: nftables
  • gitea provides npm-package-registry, git: its consumers are sent again after it
  • gitea keeps data (ADR 0233): what it holds is backed up before it moves
  • lab keeps data (ADR 0233): what it holds is backed up before it moves
  • nftables waits for a person: its policy records (module)

Machines

  • docker on ace: passed — healthy 3 times over 2m19s
  • systemd on ace: passed — judged with docker: healthy 3 times over 2m19s
  • slack on g14: passed — healthy 3 times over 3m25s
  • gitea on novox: passed — healthy 3 times over 5m32s
  • lab on shanks: passed — healthy 3 times over 4m50s
  • docker on the rest running it: sent
  • slack on the rest running it: sent
  • systemd on the rest running it: sent
  • gitea on the rest running it: sent
  • lab on the rest running it: sent

Transitions

  • 2026-10-07 18:02 (new) → proposed (announced): novox/mesh-catalog#111's head announced
  • 2026-10-07 18:04 proposed → checked (checked): the verdict names this commit
  • 2026-10-07 18:04 checked → ready (accepted): the gate passed or warned, and the repository's own check did not fail
  • 2026-10-07 18:24 ready → published (merged): on the trunk its modules follow: merged there, and its walk opened — or nothing for a walk to move
  • 2026-10-07 18:24 published → delivering (go): its walk started: let go by this owner in its group's order, by a person, or on the controller's own path
  • 2026-10-07 18:37 delivering → delivered (done): its walk is done: every machine of its deploy plan passed, or was left as its policy says

The commit's note under refs/notes/mesh-plan keeps every transition: git log --notes=mesh-plan.
