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…
A change could delete or gut its merge-check.sh and skip its own tests, and a
branch cut before the script escaped them. Where the base branch holds one, its
script, declared parts and toolchain run against the change's tree, and the
verdict says when the change lacks or alters the check (novox/hq issue 310).
