mesh/merge-gate pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without …
A reading now keeps the path it was measured at, and the peak is read only from
readings at the item's path now. Before, an agent's home that moved to its own
account was compared with the operator's home it left, and data-shrank was
raised for data that was never lost. Existing readings take their item's path
now, so a shrink that is real stays raised.
A walk over a large library every hour loads the array that protects it. An item now says how it
is measured — a bounded daily walk, a dataset's counters, or its top level only — and a size that
is a lower bound is kept as such and never read as a shrink.
A module's data section says what it keeps and how precious it is; the backup holder's lines,
binding stickiness, retirement on unassign and D13's conditions follow from it, so issue 273's
empty replacement is said and an unassigned module's data is remembered, not forgotten.
