A bus stall of a few seconds made a renewal time out, and the controller
called that a lost lease, exited and raised the urgent lease-lost alert,
though no other controller could take a key that still lived. Now only
another holder seen, or the key's TTL passed unrenewed, loses the lease;
new acts stop at half the TTL unrenewed and resume on the next renewal
(novox/hq issue 477).

A broken service people rely on, such as mail, was said only as a warning on
the desktop. A module may now declare unhealthy urgent with what people lose;
the module check refuses it without why or with another severity.

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).

A storm of closures must not spend a watchdog tick, so the read stops at 2000
events and says the count is a floor. A failed read is its own condition
rather than blinding S9, so the controller's own signals are still said. The
controller's fall behind, told to its client and closed by the server, is one
fault, counted once.

The controller heard a slow consumer only on its own connection: the server
says another user's only in its record of closed connections. The bus module
now says that record as events; the watchdogs read the last hour back on every
tick and raise one condition per user and kind, naming the module and machine.
The module check lets the bus module emit, since its tool runner publishes.

A runtime on containerd's image store, the default on a fresh docker 29,
need not hold the compressed layers of a base it built FROM: a layer it
had unpacked already is never fetched. Its push then fails on that layer
although the registry holds it under the base's mirror. A push reads
locally only what the target repository lacks, so mount the base's blobs
there first.

Review of #314: a try's start named its commit, which the forge's holder

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.
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 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
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.
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 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.

The operator's rule: a wait is never hard-coded, at most a default is configured. The push verb takes `wait`; without it the controller's setting `push-wait` (module default 2m) applies; a setting that cannot be read waits for nothing, as a push did before, and says so.

The resolver follows ADR 0303, but four comments still stated ADR 0210's retired rule that two modules declaring one package collide, and an agent took them as the rule. What stays exclusive is what a module owns: a path, a unit, a name, and a package declared present by one module and absent by another.

A Servarr app's API key, an indexer's key and a downloader's password are values the provider's
software holds; the pair path made a random value for every consumer of them, sealed it to both ends
and reported success, and the provider refused it. An offer may now say `"credential": {"issued-by":
"outside"}`: SecretFor never makes a value for it, the plan reads such a pair as given or not given
and sends the consumer no credential file until a person gives it, without refusing its machine;
remakeShared and SharedSecretFor never make a provider's own secret issued outside either.
`secret accept <provider's node> <provider module> <provision>` seals one value to every consumer that
binds the provision from that provider, the provider and the operator, under one generation; the
per-pair form is refused for such a provision, and rotate names the accept. A consumer may wait for a
provision's credential: the controller excuses the wait only when the store bears it out, and its
needs-operator condition names the one accept line.
Adds the replay of issue 164 (TestReplay164), written with only what the controller had before.
A local service could only be declared public, which says the internet. local-network is a source and a reach: the private network and the private networks the machine reported on a link facing outside, judged here, shown by plan and node, and said in the rule set when there are none.

A registered manifest carries no build, so mesh-tools' build.on naming the
SDK's package and every bundle's toolchain were edges only before a module was
first built: mesh-sdk 0.1.14 planned "sent nowhere". The relation now reads a
package base from the recorded name@version against the package the mesh holds,
and the toolchain from the bundles the resolved manifest keeps. Only records the
mesh already keeps are read, so it holds for every module built before it and a
rollback reads the same records. Replay R614.

A delivery plan made while another walk built a module reads it whole and names it; the walk, cut later,
finds none of the changed files in the build source that build recorded and moves nothing. Its record named
no module, so mesh-delivery read 'matched what runs' as 'never built', stopped the delivery and asked the
operator about a change already on every machine. The walk now says each such module in delivery.unchanged,
with why; its modules keep meaning what it builds.

The replay holds the operator's acceptance: a build sent after the resolver
stopped answering is not put back for that fault, and a restarted engine's
undecided statement does not forget it. Written only with what the controller
had before mesh-controller #179, so mesh-lab's prover lays it over the commit
before: it fails there and passes on the fix and on main.
The resolver's manifest test took either binding until the catalogue's main
bound once; mesh-catalog #161 (105cc7c0) did, so bind-dynamic is refused.

A module with a trusted mergeable file had its whole layer refused through the
settings verb, because such a file took any key. Once a module's files name the
keys they take (ADR 0326), each file takes only those, so only a trusted file's
named keys are the terminal's: betterbird's tags, in a file nothing trusts, is set
through the verb, while its accounts and identities stay the terminal's or the
operator's warrant. A module whose files name no keys keeps the whole-layer rule.

With npm-package-registry optional, the binding file the agent's environment
names may be absent, and mesh-builder failed every build on reading it. It now
reads the genesis document the installer seals at genesis's packages step when
no binding is present, prefers the binding when both are, and each build's log
says which it resolved from (§4). A build that needs the registry - a package,
an image naming .npmrc, TypeScript with an @novox/ dependency - on an agent with
neither is refused before anything is built or published, naming the machine,
the unbound requirement and gitea (§6); it never falls back to the public
registry. The captured catalogue moves to the mesh-catalog change it is judged
with.
A replay must fail on the commit before its fix and pass on it; the fix's own tests read what the fix
added, so this one uses only ParseManifest, Resolve and the resolve tests' helpers, and can be laid
over the commit before #281.
