The review of #304: with more than three keys the ask showed only the names of the rest, a long value was
cut without a word, and the Details held no key, so Approve bound values the operator never saw. The
Details now list every key uncut — masked, and whole in WholeDetails for a channel that proves who
answers — before who proposed it and the fingerprint; the glance says what it cut. Vendors mesh-sdk at
f474544 and captures its conformance events there.
The operator could not read the settings proposals on the phone: the change, the fingerprint and a how-to
paragraph in one wall of plain text, and the values masked as ‹path› and ‹address›, so the approval was
blind.
The ask is now a summary of what changes where ("Changes 3 setting(s) of mounts on shanks; approved, the
layer is set at once and shanks takes it at its next push."), then at most three points, one key each (more
keys: the first two and the names of the rest). Who proposed it, the fingerprint and how to read it whole
are its Details, which the router notes after the answers. The change is carried twice: under the content
rule, and whole (asks.Ask.Whole), shown only on a channel that proves who answers, a value shaped like a
secret withheld in both (from the earlier work on issue 383, #202).

conformance events at that commit.

Without a build on the gate, a merge walk sending the machine a new build of
the module was read as the settings send's own report. A refusal for a last
send not known, or a kept build gone, never clears, so retrying it every
tick held the walk of waiting builds; it now fails the walk with why. Every
failure names the machines passed over as away (ADR 0344 §6).

A judged send carries what waits on its machine, which would have released
builds held after a failed walk without a person's word. The settings walk
now keeps every build of its machine, refuses a send that would move a
running module's data, and never says delivered when it reached no machine.

The warrant set the layer and left the push as a second act nobody took: the
operator approved a betterbird change on Telegram and nothing reached g14.
Now the warrant opens a settings walk: the machines the layer reaches, one at
a time, the module judged on each at its gate, its end told once through
plan-moved. The ask and the proposer's answer say so instead of naming push.

The operator's rule: a wait is never hard-coded, at most a default is configured. The push verb takes `wait`; without it the controller's setting `push-wait` (module default 2m) applies; a setting that cannot be read waits for nothing, as a push did before, and says so.

The seat ran `push <node> --wait 0`, so a push's call ended at "sent" and nobody learned whether the machine applied it. The caller is answered before a push starts (answersFirst, issue 265), so waiting holds nobody: the call now waits up to two minutes for the machine's own report and keeps it, applied, refused with the machine's reason, or each failed resource with its error.

The resolver follows ADR 0303, but four comments still stated ADR 0210's retired rule that two modules declaring one package collide, and an agent took them as the rule. What stays exclusive is what a module owns: a path, a unit, a name, and a package declared present by one module and absent by another.

A Servarr app's API key, an indexer's key and a downloader's password are values the provider's
software holds; the pair path made a random value for every consumer of them, sealed it to both ends
and reported success, and the provider refused it. An offer may now say `"credential": {"issued-by":
"outside"}`: SecretFor never makes a value for it, the plan reads such a pair as given or not given
and sends the consumer no credential file until a person gives it, without refusing its machine;
remakeShared and SharedSecretFor never make a provider's own secret issued outside either.
`secret accept <provider's node> <provider module> <provision>` seals one value to every consumer that
binds the provision from that provider, the provider and the operator, under one generation; the
per-pair form is refused for such a provision, and rotate names the accept. A consumer may wait for a
provision's credential: the controller excuses the wait only when the store bears it out, and its
needs-operator condition names the one accept line.
Adds the replay of issue 164 (TestReplay164), written with only what the controller had before.
A local service could only be declared public, which says the internet. local-network is a source and a reach: the private network and the private networks the machine reported on a link facing outside, judged here, shown by plan and node, and said in the rule set when there are none.

A registered manifest carries no build, so mesh-tools' build.on naming the
SDK's package and every bundle's toolchain were edges only before a module was
first built: mesh-sdk 0.1.14 planned "sent nowhere". The relation now reads a
package base from the recorded name@version against the package the mesh holds,
and the toolchain from the bundles the resolved manifest keeps. Only records the
mesh already keeps are read, so it holds for every module built before it and a
rollback reads the same records. Replay R614.

A delivery plan made while another walk built a module reads it whole and names it; the walk, cut later,
finds none of the changed files in the build source that build recorded and moves nothing. Its record named
no module, so mesh-delivery read 'matched what runs' as 'never built', stopped the delivery and asked the
operator about a change already on every machine. The walk now says each such module in delivery.unchanged,
with why; its modules keep meaning what it builds.
The fix (#174, hq ADR 0266 §7) refuses an outcome built from a repository other than the module's
registered one; nothing replayed the photo app's outage that showed why. The replay uses only what
the controller had before the fix, so the prover can show it fails there and passes on the fix.

The replay holds the operator's acceptance: a build sent after the resolver
stopped answering is not put back for that fault, and a restarted engine's
undecided statement does not forget it. Written only with what the controller
had before mesh-controller #179, so mesh-lab's prover lays it over the commit
before: it fails there and passes on the fix and on main.
The resolver's manifest test took either binding until the catalogue's main
bound once; mesh-catalog #161 (105cc7c0) did, so bind-dynamic is refused.
Since ADR 0276 the earlier merge waits in a queued batch with no modules, and the
replay skipped it, so its pass on main proved nothing. The replay now ends the
later merge's walk and has another repository's merge heard, which cuts the batch,
and fails on any plan of the two merges left standing with nothing planned.
Two catalogue merges acted on in reverse order left the fixed module planned at
the commit without the fix. The replay uses only what the controller had before
Listed among the store tests, so a check without a database cannot pass its skip.

A module with a trusted mergeable file had its whole layer refused through the
settings verb, because such a file took any key. Once a module's files name the
keys they take (ADR 0326), each file takes only those, so only a trusted file's
named keys are the terminal's: betterbird's tags, in a file nothing trusts, is set
through the verb, while its accounts and identities stay the terminal's or the
operator's warrant. A module whose files name no keys keeps the whole-layer rule.

With npm-package-registry optional, the binding file the agent's environment
names may be absent, and mesh-builder failed every build on reading it. It now
reads the genesis document the installer seals at genesis's packages step when
no binding is present, prefers the binding when both are, and each build's log
says which it resolved from (§4). A build that needs the registry - a package,
an image naming .npmrc, TypeScript with an @novox/ dependency - on an agent with
neither is refused before anything is built or published, naming the machine,
the unbound requirement and gitea (§6); it never falls back to the public
registry. The captured catalogue moves to the mesh-catalog change it is judged
with.
The settings verb took the agent module's managed settings and an empty
runtime configuration's url from any caller. The replay uses only what the
controller had before #172, so mesh-lab's prover can show it fails there.
A replay must fail on the commit before its fix and pass on it; the fix's own tests read what the fix
added, so this one uses only ParseManifest, Resolve and the resolve tests' helpers, and can be laid
over the commit before #281.
So the lab's prover can lay them over the commit before mesh-controller #260 and #267 and see them fail
there and pass on the fix (hq issues 279, 412).

A controller older than optional requirements reads `requires` as names, and Inventory.Catalogue
stops at the first manifest it cannot read: the long form stored inside `requires` would have left
a rollback below this controller composing no machine. Stored, `requires` stays plain and the
optional names sit in `optional-requires`, a key an older controller sets aside, leaving out only
the module carrying it. A refusal of a hard requirement now names a module that wants it hard.
Making every soft dependency a provision made it hard: a mesh without influxdb could not assign
grafana, and one with influxdb in its catalogue would install it for grafana. A requirement may now
be written {"name": ..., "optional": true}. It resolves as a hard one when a provider is assigned or
reachable, and is otherwise absent: never refused, nothing installed for it. Its binding, credential
and only-when-bound files are left out, its ${bound:...|default:...} placeholders take their
defaults, the module check refuses one that could render empty, and plan and node list it unbound.
