mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request

Store tests skip without a store and no agent may start one, so each failure

repository's merge-check.sh on the ref merged into the trunk, as a check in
the build queue, and reads its outcome from the build's log: no status on
the forge, nothing registered, nothing built for a merge.
