Name the fill condition for buckets and logs, and judge each one on its own
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
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

Review of #231: "store" is the glossary's word for the postgres server, so
the condition is bucket-or-log-filling. And one stream that cannot be read
no longer fails the whole check: it is said as unread with its reason, an
open fill condition for it is kept, and every other bucket and log is
still judged (ADR 0297 §6).

// **A filling bucket or log is said before it is full** (novox/hq ADR 0297 §6, issue 501).
//
// A module's bucket and its log each have a cap on the bus, and when either is full the bus refuses
// the next write: the module stops doing what it writes for, and nothing said so before. On
// 2026-10-11 the issue tracker's bucket held a sixth of its cap after two days, growing toward a stop
// nobody would have heard coming. So the self-check reads every module's bucket and log, and one at
// fillRaiseAt of its cap or more raises a condition naming the module, the bucket or log, and how full
// it is.
//
// **Cleared by observation below fillClearBelow, not below fillRaiseAt**: a bucket or log hovering at
// its threshold would otherwise be raised and cleared on every run. Between the two, an open condition
// is kept and none is raised.
//
// **One that cannot be read is said, and the rest are still judged.** An unanswered question about one
// stream is no reason to know nothing of the others: it is a finding of its own, naming the bucket or
// log and why, and a fill condition already open for it is kept, because not knowing is not a pass.
