A build of another pull request or of a head the forge did not merge is
in no verdict the walk is handed; the walk now names the check that made
it, so its "built:" line says which head it was (novox/hq issue 703).

The gate and the repository's check mount the workspace read-write, so a
build from that tree could hold what the tests wrote under a key that
describes the merge. A check now clones the merge outside the workspace
before anything of the change runs, and builds from that. A check keeps,
and a walk takes, only a build an earlier check of the same pull request
at the same head made: another pull request's build, or an earlier
head's, is never registered. The walk reads the verdicts once
(novox/hq issue 703, review of #328).

A fresh check asked when only the trunk moved rebuilt every image, though
the reuse key said nothing it is built from changed: a controller check
took about 12 minutes instead of 5.5. The check now keeps a build kept
under its key when a verdict of the build seat names that key and every
digest, names it as the build's own check so a walk takes it, and the
cleanup keeps it while any check names it (novox/hq issue 703).

Review of #314: a try's start named its commit, which the forge's holder
matches to an open pull request's head and marks pending. Its start now
names no repository or commit. One try per commit and four in all, a try
never ages ahead of deliveries or pull request checks, and its id is
checked before it is a bus subject.

Store tests skip without a store and no agent may start one, so each failure
cost a 15-30 minute review round. The try verb asks the build seat for the
repository's merge-check.sh on the ref merged into the trunk, as a check in
the build queue, and reads its outcome from the build's log: no status on
the forge, nothing registered, nothing built for a merge.

jschoubben 8123ca5654 Test that a branch is tried before its pull request (hq issue 686)
A builder's store tests first ran in the pull request's merge check, a review
round late. These fail on main: a try asks the repository's own check alone,
its outcome sets no status and registers nothing, an unknown ref is refused
before anything is asked, and the answer carries the failing lines.

A release's own gates held its other sends back for ever; an adopted send
lost what the machine ran before; a kept send could grow a build no gate
passed; a take-over matched by commit alone; a rest that went silent ended
done. The node-engine and the resolver still go one machine at a time, since
a fault that cuts a machine off shows only as silence.

A release now sends every other machine in one step once its first machine
passed, each judged by its own gate; a failing one is put back without
stopping the others, a silent one is left. A send is kept before it is made,
and a machine already sent what a gate is for is not sent again: the gate
counts from that send and takes over another walk's readings of the same
build there.

Review of #283: a drain whose replacement was withdrawn held the agent for
ever with its health green; the gate trusted the engine's until; a machine
of the rest waiting at the bound read as silent and its apply time held the
wait; an unknown mesh-builder word exited 0; plan said nothing of a busy an
older engine is not sent; and a node with a report and no send broke the
reading of every last report (the store test's NULL).

The artifact store takes writes from anything on its network, so a record
planted under another merge's key could have been registered: the walk now
takes a scratch build only when the build seat's own verdict for one of its

Two tier tests relied on the two-minute settle to keep a module unjudged; the
witness window and the gate's spacing now hold it. A healthy reading taken
before the controller's floor counted no pass, so a dip after it did not take
the two-minute pass away (novox/hq ADR 0352 decision 3).

A merge built every moved module a second time although its check had judged
the same tree (issue 649). The check now builds into the scratch namespace
under a reuse key (source fingerprint plus the builder's own digest), and the
walk of the trunk commit copies a build of the same key by digest instead of
building, saying per module why when it cannot (novox/hq ADR 0350).

The operator wants these gates as fast as they can be: counting readings only after
two minutes added about 80 s to every node-engine rollout for no safety. Count

The controller runs on one machine, so three readings over two minutes guarded no
other machine and held every walk behind it. Judge each module by its own rule:
one reading for the controller and the tool runner once the node-engine's witness
window has ended, one for mesh-delivery, three for the node-engine and the
resolver with the first two minutes after the send (novox/hq ADR 0351). The
gate's verdict names the rule it applied.

mesh/repo-check out of date: judged against trunk 56d6313262e8, the trunk is now cbac703e817d; judged again on a recheck or when it is merged
A merge into mesh-controller replaced every build agent and threw away the
checks in flight (issue 594). The manifest's container busy is checked and
sent only to an engine that reads it; a report's busy waits are kept, the
gate starts at the report that says the container replaced, and the wait is
a phase of the delivery time. mesh-builder busy drains the agent and answers
while a build is in hand (novox/hq ADR 0335).

The forge clips a status to 140 characters, so the long sentence pushed the

jschoubben 83a9cf6e3a Judge a pull request's head merged into its trunk, and name the trunk commit
A check judged the head alone, so two pull requests that each passed could
break the trunk together (node-engine #66 on 2026-10-09), and a recheck after
the trunk moved judged the same head again. The build seat now merges the head
into the trunk's head in its own clone, never pushed, fails a head that does not
merge cleanly naming the files, and the verdict names the head, the trunk
commit and the commits read beside it, for the forge and mesh-delivery to weigh
against the trunk's next move (novox/hq ADR 0323, issue 341).

Since #256 delivered, the node-engine judges every read-write access by the path's group alone and
states six media modules unhealthy on ace, though they write their folders as the owner; every
delivery there fails its gate (hq issue 567). ADR 0325 replaces ADR 0312; until it is built, the
controller sends no grant, as before #256.

This reverts commit 3cfc121670.

The queue verb answered only a table, so nothing outside the controller
could say an ask's place in the queue. It now asks its command for JSON:
each ask's state, kind, repository, commit, machine, since and position
among the waiting, with the table carried beside it and answered as the
verb's output, both written from one read. A repository's password, if
one were ever written into it, is left out of what is shown.

Before the node-engine gives a mesh directory its mode and owner only through
a walk that follows no link another account could make, the operator is to
see which directories that walk would refuse on every node, the control-node
included, where no tool reads a path. `node judge-directories <node>` signs
the ask as a hand-over is, under its own context, and prints the engine's
one line per directory; it changes nothing, so it is a seat verb an agent may
call. The node is granted the subject, the controller alone its publish.

jschoubben 30599c1858 Pin the node-engine at its reviewed grant, and hold the mount match to the path itself (hq ADR 0312, issue 537 review)
A path beginning with the same letters is another path, and a read-only mount

jschoubben 10d4712f82 Name who a read-write access grants its path's group to, so modules write shared data through the group the operator gave it (hq ADR 0312, issue 537)
Each read-write access is composed with a grant: the module's containers that
mount its path and the account its tools run as (the operator's, or the module's
own under ADR 0259 §8); that runtime restarts on the access, so it holds a group
the engine put its account in. A read access grants nothing. Sent only to an
engine whose statement says GrantContract (4), since an older one refuses the
field. Pins the node-engine at the branch that reads it.

jschoubben a3181e356b Ask only once the bus enforces the controller's own grant, judged for real and failing closed (review of hq issue 353)
change held asking back, a list sent was taken for a list the bus enforces, a plan that could not be
worked out read as not behind, and no test held the real judgement. Now the asker asks only when the
composition grants the controller itself to publish its ask, and the bus's own module says that grant
is in force on the running server (nats_user_can's in_force, mesh-catalog); each fact not known is not
held, said with why. brokerBehind takes a list nobody could compose as behind.

mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery delivered
A merge's group member counted as merged when its merge waited in any batch,
but kinds never share a batch: the later member got a batch of its own, cut
at once, and walked before the earlier member's batch was cut, breaking the
group's order (ADR 0276 §5). Only a member kept in a batch of the merge's own
kind counts as merged now; one kept in the other kind's keeps the merge
waiting, and its batch names that member, so the two are cut in the order
their windows close (review of #250).

jschoubben 4d203b5a5d Ask mesh-delivery whether a merge's group still assembles (hq issue 525)
A merge from any head waited for the window because the controller could not
see a group's members, so the window skip changed nothing in production and
unrelated merges walked one after another. The controller now asks
mesh-delivery's groups, within 3 s and before the plans are held: a merge
waits only when its head's group has another member whose pull request is
open and whose merge it does not keep yet (ADR 0306 §2). No answer means it
waits, and its batch says why. A headed merge in no waiting group and related
to no batch is cut at once, as one from no head is (ADR 0304 §1, ADR 0306 §3).

The controller's grant names mesh-delivery.groups. The installer's first user
list in mesh-host must carry it too before the genesis test can pass.
2026-10-12 12:14:46 +02:00
jschoubben 6196a4815e Let a merge that shares nothing skip the merge window (hq issue 525)
A merge waited the whole window even when nothing assembling shared anything
with it. It now joins only a batch it is related to (ADR 0304 §1, read by ADR
0306 §3: repository, a module the cut would move, a graph edge, a group head),
folding the newer into the oldest when it relates to two. A merge related to
none starts a batch whose window is closed at once (PlanBatch.CutAtOnce),
unless its delivery group may still have a member to merge (ADR 0306 §2).

The controller cannot see a group's unmerged members (that is mesh-delivery's
record), so a merge from any head still waits, in a batch of its own: the safe
error is to wait. Walks stay one at a time; a batch cut at once queues behind
an open walk. A stop's merges walked again join a related batch, or their own.

ADR 0282 decided readings by class and ADR 0304 took a leaf module to

three readings over at least two minutes, so a container module that
was healthy at once still waited about two and a half minutes on its
first machine. The number of readings and the settle time now follow
the module's class: three after two minutes for the controller's own
path and the resolver, one for every other module. Tests that judge a
gate's other rules keep leaf modules on three readings.

mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery delivered
A periodic report about an identical earlier send names the same digest and
can arrive after a later send the machine never received, so the digest and
the time read it as applied. The digest-and-time rule stays for engines that
report no order. Tests now hold the digest condition and the sequence one.

mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
The send record of issue 234 is now readable only through the controller's
verbs (issue 506), and only plan said it. status says per machine when it was
last sent a declaration, by whom, from which generation and what it answered;
node show says it in full with the refusal's words. A machine's answer is read
from its report only when that report is about the send and came after it.

A test that needs the store skips without one, and a skip passes unseen, so a
change's store tests could pass the check without ever running. Tests named in
testdata/store-tests must each run and pass, said by name.

mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
A new batch beside the open one walked an older commit after a newer one, and a
stop that failed partway could leave a merge on two plans. A module shared with
the stopped merge, built at its branch, would deliver it; it is left out or
withheld. A batch not yet cut can drop a merge, so mesh-delivery can stop a
merge walked again. The stopped walk names what it left on which machines.

mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
One walk carries every merge of its batch, so ending it for one group member
ended every other delivery on it. delivery-stop now takes without: the walk
ends, every other merge it answered is batched again, and each later merge of
a left-out merge's repository is left out too, since it contains it.

A tool check alone is refused, so the store test's c2 never registered;

The guard let any field of the list's resource move; its path or mode
changing is a change the step must not carry. The store test now calls
sendToEach, so removing the guard there fails it.

Kept builds are not the whole declaration: a new assignment, settings or
a provision's logins went out as the mesh holds them now. The step now
compares what it would send with the last send's summary and fails, said,
when anything but the user list differs; ungatedIn reads the kept builds
instead of passing the step unread.

jschoubben e1367d185a Send the bus's user list alone before a walk's gate, so a new grant is on the bus when the first machine is judged (issue 490)

mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
A walk left the machine holding the bus out of a gated send whenever a
build waited there for that same gate, so a module's new health tool was
refused by the bus on its first machine and the gate could not pass. The
grants step sends that machine its declaration with every build kept,
before the first machine's send; plans and the change plan say it.

jschoubben 483c387b72 Judge the runtime's daemon.json against the docker module's own keys, not a frozen copy
mesh/merge-gate pass: the change touches no module of the mesh's graph
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery delivered
The test pinned daemon.json to live-restore alone, so every controller check failed once the
docker module gained log rotation as a preference (mesh-catalog #205, #217). It still refuses
dns (ADR 0196) and any key the module does not declare, and checks the log defaults where the
module declares them (novox/hq issue 498).

mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
A refusal of a send the mesh never recorded went only to stderr; it is now kept
with its sender said to be unknown, and raised. A counter behind the machine (a
store put back) is raised and the condition names push, since the receive loop
must not push. The node's digest and generation are one transaction, and a send
record that fails is said loudly without failing the send. The trigger ignores
an update that changes nothing, and the put-back mark is dropped: a put-back is
composed afresh with the current generation.

mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
A declaration newer in sequence than every other named four fewer modules
than the assignments held, a machine applied it, and nothing the mesh kept
said who sent it or from what view. The store now raises an assignment
generation in the same transaction as every assignment change (a trigger,
so a cascade counts too); a send reads it before composing, carries it to
engines that said they read it, marks a gate's put-back, and is recorded
with its sequence, sender, generation and modules. The would-send is
stamped with what was last sent, so nothing reads behind for it; a refusal
is kept on the send it refused and raised as S20 naming the sender; plan
says what the machine was last told.

A build wrote .npmrc into its source tree and never removed it, and its clone
recorded the URL's userinfo; a later check's container mounts the workspace as
HOME. The .npmrc and the tree now go when the build ends, clones record their
URL without userinfo, and a check first removes any .npmrc an older builder left.

mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
The toolchain container mounts the workspace as HOME, so the credential kept
there, and a clone's recorded userinfo, were readable by any pull request; its
output is kept on the bus for days. The credential now lives in a private
directory outside the workspace only while cloning, clones record their URL
without userinfo, and every line said to the build's log and the verdict
passes a redactor copied from the journal tool (sharing it: issue 471).

The binary in 419d662 came from a build into the worktree, not from the
change. node show says send, as the glossary does. A test now reconciles D1
beside a wait's needs-operator, which a wait raised under D1's source would fail.
