mesh/merge-gate pass: builds gitea → novox; 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mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
Put no caller's text in a forge path unjudged: every segment checked, every sent path checked again
The confirmation review of 2026-10-09 found the dedicated tools building paths
from caller text: a branch named .. became DELETE /repos/o/r/ (the repository),
a file path ../../../../version reached /api/v1/version, and a sha with
?sudo= set a status as any user. Each caller-supplied segment now goes through
one helper refusing empty, . and .. and / ? # %; a sha must be a commit; and
the client judges every path once more as it sends it: no dot or empty
segment, encoded or not, and only the allow-listed query keys.

// What the forge's tools refuse (guard.ts; novox/hq ADR 0266): an agent reaches the forge through these tools
// with a token minted for the forge's administrator, so the tools — not the forge — are what keeps it from
// dropping a branch's protection, writing to main, setting the merge check's status, or merging past the
// checks. Each route a review found is reproduced here against a fake forge, and each is refused with nothing
// sent; the operator-approved merge of a pull request whose checks passed still goes through.
