The seats test I moved to internal/ownmanifest parsed each catalogue manifest alone, so claude-code's managed_settings and dunst's font-size, which fall back to a predefined key, were refused where the check clones the catalogue beside (ADR 0348 section 7). It reads them with ReadTreeManifest from the catalogue's root, as the tests that issue 914 fixed do. merge-check.sh differed from main in a comment only; it is main's again.
With this commit no Go file outside vendor/ and the two packages about to go imports internal/catalogue, internal/overlay or mesh-host/validate, go.mod and vendor/modules.txt agree on mesh-sdk 14fd5cb68fd1, and the tree builds. testdata/beside/CAPTURED names the pinned SDK commit (conformance/events is unchanged since aa68b673). merge-check.sh's comment no longer names internal/catalogue as a slow package.
The three tests of the controller's own module.json (process, claimed seat, addresses), the Dockerfile and Makefile pin test, the build-agent registry test and the manifest-in-use seat test move with their old package, as tests of mesh-sdk's exported API; a moved test is exempt from failing first.
