The user list is a file in a directory the bus's container mounts, so it read as moving data and held every new
credential for a person's yes, against ADR 0539 clause 7; mesh-sdk's UserListOnly lets the assigner write such a
revision at once.
With no plan left to take a done key in, a write of the builder's keys registers the new fingerprint, composes the
module's nodes and the bus's user list, and writes its grant, so the assigner's rules can name it (ADR 0539 clauses
5 and 7). The new controller composes every node at its start, and the controller it replaced at its own
fingerprint, the operator's way back (clause 10); the merge window's, silent sends' and building plans' buckets are
no longer asserted and are deleted once, each said as the event bucket-deleted (clause 13). The assigner may read
the compositions' digests, and a node-engine hears its backup holder's backed-up.
Every act that sent a declaration now writes compositions instead, by compare-and-set under the lease, and a
module's compositions are kept for its five newest fingerprints and whatever its want or have names (ADR 0539
clauses 1 to 5 and 14). A module the mesh provides itself, which no want can name, rides in the node's own.
mesh/delivery-group group fix/1937-done-key-blobs rejected: composed together: the checker's verdict at the members' heads (c20fdcb8c623): integration: github.…
A done key the controller never took in holds no manifest, and the store's nightly collector deleted its bare blob:
node-tools', mesh-host's and the forge bridge's keys name blobs that answer 404. Since issue 1933 the take-in refuses such a
key, and nothing built it again. held (in the serving process, HEADs only) lets the builder ask before it reuses a key; a
refused take-in now names every gone archive and says artifacts-gone with the module, key, fingerprint and references.
The controller asks no build of anybody (ADR 0501 §5, ADR 0525 clause 6, ADR 0503 §3). Every module of a walk is taken from the
builder's done key; a key not done yet waits, named in the plan, and never fails it.
- C2b/C2c: internal/builder and cmd/mesh-controller's asks go (askABuild, onlyTheBuildersOwn, buildOneAsked, takeIn from an
outcome, buildAgentsOwn, the builder's say and its fallback, the daemon hearing an outcome). The server follows the retired
seats' built subjects only to let go of them, because the installer's carried user list names them.
- C2d: replay, queue, cancel, clear, kill, pause, resume, delivery-check, check-here and merge-gate are refused by name.
- C3: the check queues (CHECKS_READY, CHECKS_OTHER) and their workers, the checks-running and plans-building buckets and
their grants, the build queue and its hold (plans_building.go, queue.go, link/holds.go, builds_nats.go, checks_nats.go).
- C4: merge_gate*.go, the pull request's repo-check path, the Checked event and its layers; a pull request asks the
controller nothing but to tell mesh-config what its head declares.
- C5: the builds bucket is written only by key_takein.
- C10 (help and refusals): the terminal's help lists only what is served.
Integration tests of the plan's tiers, sends, stops and retries now run on a stand-in builder with a done key for every
module (walk_keys_scaffold_integration_test.go); the tests of the asks, the queue, the merge gate and the replays are deleted.

A bundle is built only from its module's directory (ADR 0480 clause 4), so the proxy leaves
examples/ and the controller's internal/broker; the broker keeps no second copy of what the
proxy shares with mesh-sdk. The image and its Dockerfile go, and a test holds that only
build-agent declares one (clause 11).

go.mod, go.sum, vendor/modules.txt and the capture note name ab0c16ddad26; the vendored files follow in the next commit, and the captured conformance events are the same at the new commit.
go.mod and go.sum move to mesh-sdk 14fd5cb68fd1, the commit on its main that holds go/catalogue, go/overlay and go/validate (ADR 0453 clause 2); vendor/modules.txt follows in the last of the six commits.
The gate composes every machine with the node-engine's own validator, vendored at mesh-host of 2026-10-15, which refuses the `unknown` and `knows` keys mesh-host #117 added; every catalogue manifest using them was refused on every machine (mesh-catalog #349). The pin moves to #117's merge, 6469e8238443, delivered; only the declaration validator changes in vendor/. A test holds the gate to taking such a directory.
{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).
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).
Vendors mesh-sdk at 9588871 (fix/639-an-ask-reads-at-a-glance: Message.Note, asks.Glance), and captures its
conformance events at that commit.
mesh/delivery-group group feat/335-a-busy-container-is-replaced-when-idle rejected: its order contradicts itself: novox/mesh-catalog@190608193764, novox/mesh-c…
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).

ulikunitz/xz's ReaderConfig.DictCap is a minimum: a stream asking for a
1 GiB or 4 GiB dictionary was given it. github.com/therootcompany/xz, a port
of xz-embedded, takes a maximum and refuses a block whose LZMA2 dictionary is
larger before allocating it. 64 MiB, xz's largest preset.

Betterbird's pinned .tar.xz failed on the build seat with "this build seat has
no xz to read it": the seat's image is the catalogue's build-agent recipe,
which installs git and docker-cli alone, and xz had been added only to
cmd/mesh-builder/Dockerfile, which the seat does not build from. The stream
is now read with github.com/ulikunitz/xz (vendored), its dictionary capped
at xz's own largest preset, and what it unpacks to bounded as before; the
xz line in the unused Dockerfile is taken back out.

The node-engine's search has no bound any more: it runs at idle priority
and judges from its last complete, fresh result. The controller's quiet
while an agent account waits is the engine's rootsearch.Quiet, not the
old fifteen-minute bound, and the node-engine is pinned at its pull
request.
