mesh/merge-gate pass: builds new: modules/betterbird, sent nowhere; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed, each part in its toolchain: merge-check.sh (go), merge-check-typescript.sh (typescript)
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
betterbird: a module for the mail and calendar client, so its windows and preferences can be seen and declared (hq issue 345)
A calendar reminder showed as a transparent, empty window on shanks and no tool could say which
window it was or which preferences Betterbird ran with. The module owns one file, the user.js its
setting prefs fills, which its tools place whole into the profile Betterbird uses and never over an
operator's own; it reads named preferences without credentials or accounts, restarts Betterbird under
the user manager so its output reaches the journal, checks what it promises, and shows a reminder on
demand from a throw-away profile so a fix can be proved without the operator's calendar. No package:
betterbird-bin is the AUR's.

// desktop.go is the same file in every desktop application's bundle (copies_test.go names them and
// holds them to one text): a tray application of the operator's graphical session, seen from the
// node's tool runtime (novox/hq ADR 0208).
//
// The runtime is a system service running as the operator account (ADR 0175): it has the account's
// uid and none of the session's environment. A tool that starts something on the desktop finds the
// session from a process of the account that carries DISPLAY (the window manager first), and starts
// the program under the account's own service manager with `systemd-run --user`, never as its own
// child: the runtime's unit is a cgroup that is emptied whenever the runtime restarts.
//
// Everything a tool touches goes through a Machine: its filesystem root, its commands (a Runner) and
// its signals are injected, so the tests run against a fake /proc and a fake home.
//
// Bounds: one command gets at most CallTimeout (below the runtime's 30 s call limit) and is ended
// with everything it started when it takes longer; each stream is kept to MostOutput; a file is read
// to at most MostRead.
