jochen 0581256905 build-agent serves its seat's verbs: current, kill, pause, resume (hq ADR 0219)
The node-build-agent seat now promises these verbs, and a holder that does not
name them cannot hold it. The binary serving them is mesh-controller's
cmd/mesh-builder; merge only once a controller carrying the seat's new verbs runs,
since an older one refuses a claim naming verbs its row lacks.

build-agent

The mesh's build machine as a role every machine can hold (novox/hq ADR 0190). It holds the node seat node-build-agent: every holder pulls one build at a time from the role's one work queue when it is idle, so a tier of many images is built by as many machines as hold the seat and are online, and a machine that is off builds nothing and blocks nothing. The controller asks the role, never a machine; the outcome names the machine that built it.

What a holding machine needs is what the builder always needed, said here once: a container runtime (the socket is mounted), the artifact store and the package registry as provisions, a workspace, and the bus credential. The code is cmd/mesh-builder in the mesh-controller repository, compiled from that repository's main (build.artifacts[].context); this module ships the packaging.

Assign it to every machine with a container runtime. It replaces builder, the one-holder form of the same thing; retire that once this is assigned where it was.
