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.
mesh/merge-gate head 19e3eac74658 merged into trunk 89cfa9431d8f — pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every …
The gate judged a module by what the mesh saw from outside, so a container that
crash-looped after it applied passed it. Each machine's node-engine now states
the health of every long-running resource it runs; the controller keeps the
newest statement per machine, raises module.<module>.<machine>.unhealthy on the
second statement in a row, clears it on the first that does not say it, and the
gate passes a module only when every long-running resource of it is stated
healthy since the send. An engine that states nothing is judged as before.
Two controllers could both act (issue 204), a reconcile's report could
overtake the apply after it and the digest decided (issue 267), and a grant
could make a second writer of a machine's report.
- The lease (internal/lease, ADR 0229): mesh-controller_lease key `holder`,
15 s age, renewed every 5 s by compare-and-set; the epoch is the revision
it was taken at. The gate is the clock (stops 3 s before expiry); a refused
renewal is a loss and the process exits; a holder that stops gives it back.
serve takes it before asserting the bus. Epochs kept in the store
(migration 0068 controller_epoch) as a floor: a bucket raised from nothing
is compacted past it. Unleased (no epoch, S12 urgent) only when nobody
holds it and the bus will not let it be written. A shell command acts
under the holder's epoch, or its own lease when none.
- Declarations carry `epoch` inside the signed envelope, only to a machine
whose latest account carried a report_sequence (mesh-host #35); would-send
is composed with the epoch last sent. Allot and the send both pass the gate.
- Reports: contract in internal/link/order.go (epoch, sequence,
report_sequence, older_than, refused_older). Accounts kept by epoch, then
sequence, then report sequence; older refused, counted; unordered reports
keep the digest rule. Plans by compare-and-set on a revision, with epoch.
Conditions and calls carry the epoch and are not written off the lease.
- S12 and S13 (naming the writer by epoch) watched, D5 run; reset of the
bucket said. Writers table compiled in and enforced in PermissionsFor; the
controller no longer publishes mesh.control.>. A contract per consumed
kind, and the empty-on-error lint over the repository.
- mesh-host pinned to its main with the epoch in the validator (D1 validates
the envelope as sent).
