Raise a check's store without durability and remove what earlier holders left (hq issue 306)
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 delivered

On the control node the store-bound packages of the controller's suite ran
five to seven times slower than on any other holder, and every controller
check that landed there ran past the suite's thirty minutes: a throwaway
store flushing to a disk the mesh's own store, bus and forge keep busy.
A store that lives for one check needs no crash safety.

A holder recreated mid-check left the check's store and bus running, and
the redelivery went to another machine, so nothing removed them: eleven
pairs across four machines. A starting holder has taken nothing, so every
container labelled with an ask of the seat is an earlier holder's.
