mesh/merge-gate out of date: judged against trunk 8f80cd471634, the trunk is now 39e7a06e6293; judged again on a recheck or when it is merged
mesh/repo-check out of date: judged against trunk 8f80cd471634, the trunk is now 39e7a06e6293; judged again on a recheck or when it is merged
mesh/delivery stopped: the pull request closed unmerged
Every merge into mesh-controller replaced the agents and the queue started their checks again elsewhere (issue 594). Its server now declares busy as mesh-builder busy (novox/hq ADR 0335 §5).

# 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.
|
|
|
|
A send that replaces the agent's container does not throw away the build it runs: the container declares
|
|
`busy` as `mesh-builder busy` (novox/hq ADR 0335). The node-engine asks it before replacing it; from that
|
|
ask the agent takes no new build, the node-engine leaves it running while it says a build is in hand, and
|
|
replaces it once it says idle, or after 15 minutes at the latest.
