What a provider serves is its definition's (ADR 0348 clause 11): a layer
fills only the keys it asks for as ${setting:<key>}. Settle replaced any
served key a layer named, so a setting for one of a provider's files could
change what every consumer was told. influxdb on ace was the one live layer
relying on it and now serves its settings (mesh-catalog, merged first), so
grafana's data source composes byte for byte as before. UnusedSettings no
longer counts a literal served key as a place a setting lands.

The vault hands a secret only on request and reply, sealed to the asker's key
(hq ADR 0349 §11). The seat set is the controller's, so the verb is promised
here; optional until the vault that runs serves it (design 33 §7).

A symlinked files/ or a symlinked directory under it let module check, the merge
gate and module add read a template from outside the repository tree, and a
symlink no template names passed them while the build's packing refuses it
(review of mesh-controller#313). Every entry under files/ must now be a plain
directory or file, and templates are read through an os.Root of the module's
directory.

The facts snapshot, the take preview and the settings history read a layer as it
was set; tests that place give the layer through LayerOf.

The settings verb's path splits a layer it is given into its config values and
its placement, so what a person types still works; a layer reads back and goes
into the history whole.

ADR 0348 clause 11: places, accesses and kept networks are placement, not config.
Today's mergeable files still take them as said, so nothing composes differently.

A file's text may live in files/<name> beside the manifest instead of inline,
so modules can move their files out of module.json (ADR 0349 clause 2, issue
654). The build packs files/ into the module's declared archive and reads each
template back from the packed bytes, proven by the digest, into content: the
manifest the mesh holds, composition and the node-engine stay as they are.
module check, the merge gate and module add read templates from the tree beside
the manifest, so a change to a template alone is judged. A file naming both
template and content, a template outside files/, a missing one, and a held
manifest that still names one are refused by name.

Review of #283: a drain whose replacement was withdrawn held the agent for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
pull requests names its key and digests. Deleting by digest also took builds
another check shared (review of #311; novox/hq ADR 0350).

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
from the send, pass on the third healthy reading, and pass a module healthy at
every reading at two minutes on what it has (novox/hq ADR 0352).

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.
{a:1, b:2, c:3, password:hunter2} was proposed with "+ password: hunter2" in its Details: the router
withheld the line unnamed and Approve set a value the operator never saw (ADR 0347 §1, §3, §4). Each line is
now judged as the router judges it, masked under the content rule and whole under the secret rule; a line
refused is said "+ password (value withheld)", and any line the router would still refuse is refused at
propose in the controller's words, never echoing a secret-shaped key. SDK at mesh-sdk 5933eb7 (no two asks
digest the same).
Rebased on #305: Approve now sends the layer by a walk, so the summary's "takes it at its next push" was
false. The summary says it is set and sent at once by a walk to where it reaches, one machine at a time,
each judged; the rest of what Approve does (onApprove) leads the Details, beside every key whole.
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).

The forge writes every package tarball at its public name, and its
consumers had no source for that name but a second copy kept by hand,
though the mesh composes it for the forge's route. A served value may now
name the provider's own names; a name its machine does not compose leaves
the key out, and the plan says so.

A mergeable file's protected keys were checked at the top level only, so a layer could still set searxng's server.secret_key under the server key its file takes. The merge now refuses any layer value that would replace a ${secret:} placeholder in the file's own content, at any depth, whatever the module's protected list says.

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

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.
