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 review found that a send whose first machine runs none of its
modules would pass at once with no reading, and that every mixed send
in the tests judged its leaf as the core.

ADR 0282 decided readings by class and ADR 0304 took a leaf module to
one, but the gate never learned it: every build, leaf or core, needed
three readings over at least two minutes, so a container module that
was healthy at once still waited about two and a half minutes on its
first machine. The number of readings and the settle time now follow
the module's class: three after two minutes for the controller's own
path and the resolver, one for every other module. Tests that judge a
gate's other rules keep leaf modules on three readings.

On 2026-10-09 a release's gate on the control node read the machine's
report against a newer send another plan had just made there, failed
three builds the machine had reported healthy, and put them back on
every machine to a controller older than the store's schema; that
controller then passed the newer plan's gate from its own health.
- A gate keeps what its send carried (digest, sequence) and reads the
report against it; a report on the last send is on it too.
- A gate judges only the build the machine was last sent: another build
there supersedes the judging — no verdict, nothing put back.
- A controller is told its build (MESH_CONTROLLER_VERSION, ${version}
in a process's env) and records how far it reads the store's schema;
a put-back to a build that reaches less, or never said, is refused
and the current build kept, said as urgent.
- A release's open gate holds other sends of its modules there, and a
plan's own first send waits on it.
An agent could make a repository of its own, or fork one the mesh builds
from, commit a module.json naming sudo or mesh-host, and ask the build verb
for it: the outcome was registered under that name, and the next push made
whoever wrote it root on every node (novox/hq ADR 0266 §7, the review of
2026-10-09). The trunk rule checked the trunk of the repository built, which
was the agent's.
The take-in, which every outcome reaches whichever verb asked it, now
registers a module only from its registered repository, and a new module only
from a repository the catalogue already builds from (a merge adding one);
anything else only when the build request was kept as asked at the
controller's terminal (migration 0084). Through a verb, a build of a
repository the catalogue builds nothing from is not asked at all.
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.
A plan's send to the bus's machine for another module carried the bus's new build and
restarted it under every machine with nobody asking (2026-10-06). The guard is in the one
send everything uses; only the bus step passes it. A rebuild that made the same artifacts
is no move.
A build that reported applied was sent everywhere; one that then did nothing, served
no tools or broke its machine's word reached every machine. Now the first machine is
judged by the component's health (the core's definitions, as doctor probes H-*, or a
module's own) three times over two minutes within ten; a failing gate puts the previous
build back there once, marks the build, and says it as a condition and an event.
Upgrades roll out by default; the bus is a planned step; a module deleted at its
source is not built (the public-acme plan failure).
