mesh-cli lines are calls, followed to their answer; the terminal does not follow assign (review of hq ADR 0272)
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller, route-proxy → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it…
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request

- A line ran past the bus's one-minute window for an answer and its answer
  was refused; mesh-cli then said nothing ran of a line that had. Every
  line is now a call (calls.go): answered within AnswerWithin that it is
  running, with its call, and followed by the same account on the same
  node until it ends. Its record keeps the command word only, and its
  answer stays in the memory of the controller that ran it — never on the
  bus, never in `calls`, which answers anyone who may call the seat. Each
  line is said in the journal with its call, who asked where, and how.
- Lines running at once are bounded (8); one over is answered busy.
- An ordinary `settings` line is composed as the settings verb composes
  its own and meets that verb's refusals, the terminal-only keys among
  them, instead of the generic command's blanket refusal.
- The controller's module is assigned and unassigned at the terminal only:
  where it runs is the control-node, whose operator is the terminal.
- mesh.control.*.cli is in the writers table as the machine's own.
