A module that asks the operator acts with its own grants, and the hand-act log is where a person's
decisions are read back. The new verb warranted records who chose, how and with which proofs from the
router's record, never the caller's word, once per ask however many instances ask.

After the operator removes by hand what the last search found, no apply says so and nothing searched again
until the next day. node setuid-search <node> signs the ask as a hand-over is, under its own context, on a
subject only the node's engine hears and only the controller may publish.

The node-engine's search has no bound any more: it runs at idle priority
and judges from its last complete, fresh result. The controller's quiet
while an agent account waits is the engine's rootsearch.Quiet, not the
old fifteen-minute bound, and the node-engine is pinned at its pull
request.

The reviewer found that the logged reason quoted the refused fragment: a
hash-shaped secret would reach the journal, and a changing clock time
defeated the once-per-kind dedupe. The reason is now logged without its
quoted fragment, the test resets the dedupe so it repeats, and a module
name too long for the headline falls back to the machine.

The secret-given condition's explanation carried a clock time, which the
plain rule refuses, so the operator read the scope's fallback ("needs a
look") instead of what changed. Its words now carry no time and say the
secret's name as words; a test holds them to the rule through a keeper.
With no test hook set, the keeper logs a refused or missing wording once
per kind and reason, so a fallback is never silent again (hq issue 359).

The subject proved nothing: the bus lets any principal allowed to answer reply to a message it received on the reply subject that message named, so a tool server — the operator's account, every agent — could deliver a hand-over to an engine. The controller now signs the ask with the mesh's key over a fixed context (node, path, who asked, a minute's expiry, a fresh nonce), as declarations are signed, and the engine verifies it. The writers table gains the row for mesh.node.*.ask.hand-over; the subject's comment no longer claims who the engine hears. The line's known-node check and the refusal branch are tested; every check was removed in turn and a test failed.

A module's condition told the operator to run the node-engine's hand-over at the machine, as root (issue 339), and the mesh had no channel for it. Now node hand-over <node> <path> is the controller's terminal's — a node subcommand that is not a read, so every verb and mesh-cli outside the terminal refuse it — and asks that node's engine on mesh.node.<node>.ask.hand-over, a request only the controller may publish and only that node's engine may hear and answer (its grant gains the subject and the right to answer what it was asked). The line's node and path are judged before anything is asked; the engine's answer is printed, a refusal as a refusal. Every text addressed to the operator names the nox line (ADR 0272); the condition's words stay plain.

The grant is composed from the router's assignment and reaches the bus when its machine is next
pushed. Between assign and push the record said a router was here and the bus refused every ask
(seven refusals on 2026-10-09, 17:54 to 17:56). The asker now judges, as a push does, whether the
bus's machine was last sent the user list composed now; while it was not, nothing is published, it
is said once, and the conditions that need the operator are raised as undelivered, naming the push
that carries the grant.

On 2026-10-09 a release's gate on the control node read the machine's
report against a newer send another plan had just made there, failed
three builds the machine had reported healthy, and put them back on
every machine to a controller older than the store's schema; that
controller then passed the newer plan's gate from its own health.
- A gate keeps what its send carried (digest, sequence) and reads the
report against it; a report on the last send is on it too.
- A gate judges only the build the machine was last sent: another build
there supersedes the judging — no verdict, nothing put back.
- A controller is told its build (MESH_CONTROLLER_VERSION, ${version}
in a process's env) and records how far it reads the store's schema;
a put-back to a build that reaches less, or never said, is refused
and the current build kept, said as urgent.
- A release's open gate holds other sends of its modules there, and a
plan's own first send waits on it.

A secret given at the controller's terminal through mesh-cli (secret accept … --from -) never reached the
line: every line ran with no standard input. A line that runs as the terminal now reads what mesh-cli
carried (at most 64 KiB); an ordinary call carrying any is refused and nothing runs; the calls record keeps
only that some was given, the journal and the answer nothing of it.

The terminal path's order is one function, keepGiven, so the test fails when the announcement before a
trusted party's secret is removed, and when a failed announcement still keeps it. give also refuses a
machine the mesh does not know, as the secret's or as the desk, before the prompt (the final review).
A desk's prompt is answered over the desk machine's bus, on a subject that machine's runtime answers;
on a desk machine agents run as the operator, who holds that credential, so an agent could answer first
with a bot token of its own sealed to the call's key. The secret of a module running as an account of
its own (the Telegram bot's token) is now refused at the desk, before anybody is asked, naming the line
to type at the controller's terminal; there it is announced on every channel, the old one among them,
before it is kept, and not kept when that announcement fails. What is typed at the terminal is not
echoed. Tests: the refusal with nobody asked, and only the desk machine's launcher may answer its
prompt (MaySubscribe).
Restacked on #157, which carries #164's rule that no verb runs secret accept. give's line carries no value:
the operator types it into the desk's hidden prompt, sealed to the call and then to the module's machine.
Only that exact line passes: a value, a file, a provider or any extra word stays the terminal's.
The review of 2026-10-09 (M4):
- give refuses broker (the bus account issue mints) and any own secret the mesh may make itself;
- the desk's prompt is asked by module, secret and machine, never with words of the caller's, and the
bus denies the prompt's subjects to every principal but the controller, however wide its grant, so the
prompt's 'the controller asks' is the bus's word (Permissions.PublishDeny, broker.ControllerOnly);
- secret accept with a value is refused through a verb: a value comes from the terminal or the desk;
- every value given for an own secret, at the terminal or the desk, raises the urgent condition
secret-given on every channel, until the operator silences it.

Choosing Silence silenced the condition, the condition was no longer wanted, and the next reconcile
cancelled the Restart or Release ask beside it: an acknowledgement, which any desk click may give,
took an approval back. An open approval ask now stays until it is answered or expires while its
condition is open and silenced with the same answers. The test silences as the controller does; it
failed before (0 open) and passes, and the kept Restart is performed on its warrant.
rehearse refused only a verb's process. Since mesh-cli (ADR 0272 §4) the serving controller runs an
ordinary mesh-cli line without a verb, naming its caller: such a line, from an agent's account, read as
the terminal and could start a question the operator did not ask. rehearse now asks
startedAtTheTerminal. And main's mesh-cli test helper asked is cliAsked, beside the asker's asked.
- M1: a condition offering both kinds of answer is asked twice: its authorising answers about the
condition, its acknowledging ones (Silence) apart, so an answer from a channel that only acknowledges
never ends an approval.
- L2: the asked store creates once and changes only over the revision it read, deciding again on what it
reads; a stale cancel no longer writes over an act.
- L3: every ask is kept before it is published, one whose publishing failed is marked unsent and asked
again, and a cancel is kept before it is said. The terminal's test question is now `rehearse`, so it is
not called what the glossary calls a drill; its two answers are both approve-level.
- L7: two deliveries of one warrant to two controllers at once act exactly once, on a real bus.
- Re-vendored onto mesh-sdk 76902998 (canonical digests): an option binds an asks.Act with each argument
as arg.<name>.
- The lab's bus fixture composes verified-sender only where the lab says its machine is root-free
(MESH_LAB_ASKS_ROOT_FREE=true).
With no router, or an ask the router refused and nothing changed since, the controller asked nothing
and said it only in its own log. It now keeps a condition of its own, asks-undelivered, naming the
conditions not asked and why, cleared once each can be asked again.
The live acceptance needs an approval the operator can ask for at will and that changes nothing. A
drill is asked like any condition's ask, bound to its own act, claimed once on its warrant and recorded
as a warrant hand-act with who answered, through which channel and the proofs. A verb's process may not
start one, so no agent asks the operator a question they did not start.
mesh-lab's asks proof runs the router, the Telegram channel and an asker on a real bus. Its accounts,
streams, workers, buckets and memberships come from this test at the controller's commit, so the lab
proves the composition and not a copy of it. Skipped unless the lab asks.
Every option the controller asks with carries the digest of its verb, machine, arguments and level
(the SDK's Option.Binds). A warrant must name the digest of the ask the controller keeps, and before
acting the controller checks that the act it is about to perform is the one the option bound: a
record changed after the ask is refused, never performed. mesh-sdk moves to d4077b4.

The review of PR 179 found four paths no test held: which of two earlier
plans NewestMergeOf takes, a tie between them, gaps kept across a second
reopening in one keeper, and a merge time's fraction of a second.

- A reopened fault keeps its gaps: it was there at a send unless the send
fell in one, so a send that breaks a machine recovered before it still
fails its gate (A2).
- An undecided part holds only the conditions that name it (A4).
- D2 holds a silent resolver for the next run again, refused or not: a
burst of refusals is also a restart (A3).
- A late merge is planned at the newest planned merge of its branch in any
state, not only an open one (A1); merge times to the nanosecond (A5).
The test reads the catalogue beside it, which the build seat checks out at
main; mesh-catalog PR 161 changes the binding, so the two land in either
order.
A merge acted on late by the catch-up made its plan after the plan of the
merge that followed it, superseded it by creation time, and folded its
unbuilt modules into a plan at the older commit: on 2026-10-09 the
forge's security fix (a082615b) was superseded by 8ff8197a. A plan now
keeps its merge time (migration 0086), supersession follows it, and a
merge older than an open plan of its branch is planned at that plan's
commit, which contains it.
On 2026-10-09 the control node's resolver refused from 10:57:57 UTC. A
node-engine restarted by the 10:59:34 send said its names undecided, that
statement cleared the network condition, the next look raised it again
after the send, and the gate put back two builds for a fault older than
them.
- A condition keeps First across a reopening; the gate reads Began.
- An undecided network statement (unknown, starting) clears nothing.
- D10 counts what a release's tier names as rolling, so a walked
node-engine is not core-behind on its own first machine.
- D2 raises a resolver that refuses every try at once: a refusal is an
answer, not a loaded resolver (issue 277).
