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…
Modules talk over the bus, and the power draw reached the bar through a file. A block
may now show state its contributor keeps, the contributor only its own; the holder on
the same machine is granted the read without naming the module, and the template sees
which machine it renders for.

A piece whose shows the holder's template does not know rendered as nothing and failed
the whole machine's declaration; it is now left out and named, for push, plan and the
merge gate. quote escapes DEL, which TOML refuses bare. An if-capability nothing
detects, or on a kind a holder depends on, would drop a piece silently, so both are
refused.
The catalogue's forge gained an npm-registry bundle (hq ADR 0251 §4), so resolving it
against its code bundle alone failed three tests on main and on every pull request.
A module adding a battery to the bar had to write i3status-rust's TOML, so a second
bar could not take its place. node-bar now receives a bar-neutral block: the
contributor says what it shows, the holder renders it with its own template, places
every bar and place once, and a contribution may name a capability the machine must
report. The block is offered: the power module runs on servers without a bar.

A "Needs you" with no button left the operator guessing where to act, and a click
could silence a condition that says data is gone. The place is named in the
glossary's word, the mesh MCP server (hq ADR 0258).

Review found that a desk click proves nothing about who chose, that refused words
could turn "Needs you" into "Nothing for you to do", that sound words were refused,
and that a quiet warning whose words came to need the operator was never said
(hq ADR 0258).

The operator could not tell from a notification whether to act, and was told to
have an agent do it. Each condition now says "Nothing for you to do." or
"Needs you:" with one thing they can do themselves, and carries the actions the
operator channel performs when chosen (hq ADR 0253).

The catalogue's forge also builds its npm registry since hq ADR 0251, so the three
forge tests resolved it against half its build and failed on main as on every branch.

The operator could not read the desktop notifications: they carried plan ids,
commits, keys and verb syntax. The words the operator reads now travel with the
condition, so every channel says them (hq ADR 0253).

The client library refuses to send a reply over the bus's max_payload, and the
controller only logged it: conditions and status answered nobody for hours on
2026-10-08 while calls said each was answered in 130 ms, and the operator's
channel read nothing. An answer too large is now held under its call and paged
to the caller that asks, on the same subject; a caller that does not page is
told in words, and calls says it. The overviews no longer carry every finding:
conditions and status list each condition with its newest evidence, doctor at
most twenty findings a probe (probe= gives one whole), and the JSON overviews
are sent once, as data, instead of twice.

The store's tools and a machine's image pruning decide from the records, so
the controller says them: artifacts (every recorded artifact, kept and why,
eligible, collected on request), collect (the after-build sweep on demand,
a dry run unless confirmed with a why, recorded as a hand act) and images
(what a machine's declaration names, now and as last sent). The sweep is one
implementation with two sets of bounds.

Composed first, an account a module puts in its daemon's group was put in a group the package
had not made yet, and only the next apply healed it. An account that sets a shell or home still
goes first (issue 213).

A module's failed unit now arrives among its resources and raises the
module's own condition, named by the unit. The machine's own failed
units, which no module places, are one warning for the machine listing
them, cleared when none is listed. Nothing a send moved is among them,
so the gate never holds a send on that finding. The statement's units
are kept with the machine's health (migration 0080) and node show says
them.

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).

The group feat/a-machine-joins-through-the-tunnel was refused: the
controller's member moved the build agent, which builds the node-engine
(built by: controller first), and the node-engine goes before the
controller (engine before controller: engine first). Both rules applied
to one pair in opposite directions, and every two-way pair was a cycle.
Rules now have a precedence (hq ADR 0249): a declared after: line, then
what the graph and the change say (built by, version skew), then the
rollout default engine-before-controller. The higher rule decides the
pair, which says what it won over. Rules of one rank both ways are still
refused, as a contradiction naming both rules and how to declare the
order. TestReplay309 replays the group with only what orderOf had before.

On the control node the store-bound packages of the controller's suite ran
five to seven times slower than on any other holder, and every controller
check that landed there ran past the suite's thirty minutes: a throwaway
store flushing to a disk the mesh's own store, bus and forge keep busy.
A store that lives for one check needs no crash safety.
A holder recreated mid-check left the check's store and bus running, and
the redelivery went to another machine, so nothing removed them: eleven
pairs across four machines. A starting holder has taken nothing, so every
container labelled with an ask of the seat is an earlier holder's.

The rows of novox/hq ADR 0169's table the controller answers for: the
hub's composed tunnel carries a machine whose live token was issued for
its key, drops it when the token expires unused, and nothing is recorded
for something that is not a tunnel key.
The calls the controller serves are kept on the bus with their answers,
and calls answers anyone who may call its seat. A token is the one-time
right to become a machine of the mesh, so the token verb's answer is kept
as withheld (novox/hq ADR 0169).
token issue --overlay-key records the key the machine made, binds the
token to it, gives the machine its address and makes it a peer of the
hub, pushing the hub before the token is shown. The token carries the
hub's tunnel and the bus at its holder's address on the private network,
and enrolment refuses any other key (novox/hq ADR 0169). The bus is no
longer public, so a machine outside the mesh can join only this way; a
token without a key is still what the machine running the bus joins its
own mesh with. Also a token verb, which says it replaces running the
command by hand and adding a peer to the hub with wg.

Two incidents had one shape: a change took effect that nobody saw first (hq issues 241, 304).
Three guards, each silent when nothing is at stake:
- settings show [--history], and a set that answers each key it adds, changes and removes, and
refuses a removal unless --replace; the replaced or cleared layer is kept in settings_history,
in the same transaction as the write (migration 0078).
- every send keeps a summary of what it sent (no file content), plan <node> --diff compares with
it, and push with no machine is refused unless --all.
- a push that would give a running container's mount another host directory holds that machine,
naming the module, mount and both directories, until push <node> --move <module>; a named push's
cascade is held the same way.
Rebased onto main and fitted to it: the hold runs before the push says what it recreates, a whole
push still says so first and leaves machines waiting for a gate, the verb's push with no machine is
still --behind and a push still needs why. The verbs take plan diff, settings replace and history,
and push move beside a machine, each refused where it cannot take effect.

The key-value-buckets record took 0201 on main while this waited to merge.
Only the comments citing the derived-value work move; this repository's other
