Count a dead letter by when it was kept, so one kept late still counts (issue 440)
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without …
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery delivered

The give-up time is not newer for every letter kept: a notice that could
not be kept is offered again a minute later, so a later give-up can be kept
first and the one after it read as not fresh. The stored time rises with the
stream's sequence. A consumer whose letters vanish between the two reads is
left out of the look instead of counted as a look, and the skip of a
token-less max-deliveries advisory now has a test of its own.
