ADR 0220's dependency mechanism served compiled seats only and retired its one user with
node-resolver-config (commit f68521da). ADR 0378 S8 revives it for module-declared seats:
SeatDeclaration gains Needs, judged by the catalogue check (node scope only, a name that
resolves to a node seat somewhere in the catalogue, never itself), and DependsOn now takes
the catalogue so a claimed seat's needs are found wherever they are declared.
ADR 0377 §3's allowlist names only tools bundles, files no container mounts
and holds no data, and manifest fields that recreate nothing. Holds only
checked containers, files, directories and processes/services; any other
resource type (archive, package, user, network, ...) fell through unheld.
Add a default case that holds and names the resource type and id.
Reverts 45b6c347, which kept nothing of such a message and raised an aged-out
condition: that departed from an accepted decision on a lead's word alone. The
concern behind it (the record keeps the subject, with no age) is its own issue.
A starting controller's sweep read each call it saw running and wrote it back
abandoned unconditionally, so a finish written in between, with its kept answer,
was lost. The mark is now a compare-and-set on the call's record: a finish already
recorded, or racing the mark, stands.
Under a module's own record (its manifest's, or its irreplaceable data's), every
move waited for a person's push, even one that only changed a tools bundle: the
database server stayed behind on ace on 2026-10-15 although its walk said it
recreated none of its containers. ADR 0377 lets such a move roll out.
A move is judged per machine against the build that machine was last sent: it
goes when no container, mounted file, data path, data declaration, provider or
(for a module with data) long-running process changes. A person's record, the
bus and any move that cannot be judged still wait. The walk keeps per machine
which way each recorded module went and why, says it in its note and log, and
status names a machine behind with `push <node>` only for a move that waits.
A record kept without its body still carried its subject, which names whose mail it was, with no age. The lead decided such a message is not kept at all: the notice is taken, the message counted, and the log and an aged-out condition say how many messages of the stream aged out undelivered. Unrestricted streams are unchanged.
DEAD_LETTERS kept a message given up on MAIL forever and showed it whole to any caller of dead-letters, outside the grant and past MAIL's week. Per ADR 0376 §3-§6: the kept copy carries a per-message time to live of what is left of its stream's age (a copy already past it is kept without its body), DEAD_LETTERS and EVENTS allow per-message TTL, the list and show give no body or own headers for it, delivering it again needs a minute left and the copy keeps the time left, and its max-deliveries condition clears saying how many aged out undelivered and from which stream.
The tool runner's bus account carried the heard grants, consumer and bind word of every module it runs, and every agent session on that machine reaches the bus as that account, so any session could pull a granted module's consumer on MAIL. Per ADR 0376 §1 the controller now composes a restricted stream's consumer, grants and bind word only for a module that declares runs-as; registration refuses a consumes of a restricted stream without runs-as (§2), and a grant that composes nothing is said in doctor (D-heard) and in the controller's log on every raise and send.
A family like mesh-mail's mail-credential-* names only the module and the secret's key at the desk, so the operator cannot tell which account is asked. An own secret (or a family) may now declare a one-line prompt in its manifest, with {member} filled by a family member's suffix; the module check refuses one that is not one line, over 120 characters, or holds another placeholder. desk_secret.go reads it from the controller's own catalogue and sends it to the desk as what, never from the call or the module's runtime; omitted when none is declared, so an old desk or module behaves as today.

The test forbids "23:3" in the log line, and the logger's own timestamp held it from 23:30
to 23:39 every night, so the check went red for no reason in that window.

A session on the mesh MCP server polls for every verdict, answer and delivery because the tool
runner's account hears no event. ADR 0367 lets the tool runner's module name, one by one, the
families a session may wait on: the manifest's `waits`, refused for any other module and for a
wildcard. The controller grants the runtime's account a plain subscription on those subjects
alone, makes no durable consumer for them, and issues the same list in the tool runner's
membership, so the grant and what `mesh_wait` offers come from one composition and no call or
setting widens it. A family on a seat whose events end in a kind or an asker must name it, and is
refused at composition without it, so it is never granted a subject nothing publishes on.

A page polling plans every few seconds wrote about 14,000 journal lines a day. A line is judged a

A rebuild that landed while a walk waited for mesh-delivery's word was taken as
the walk's build of that module; once let go, the walk asked a tier only when
every module of it was unasked, so it never asked the rest and stood still.
A walk now takes only the outcomes of builds it asked, and none while it waits;
a rebuild does not join a waiting walk and says it runs beside it; and a tier
asked in part is asked the rest, including a module held built that the walk
never asked for, which is somebody else's build and not sent as the walk's.

A check judges one head; once the pull request has another, its verdict
answers nobody and its run holds a build machine the new head waits
behind. Asking a check of R#N at H now drops every waiting check of R#N
at another head and kills every one in flight, saying each in the log.
Announcements are unordered and a recheck asks a recorded head, so this
happens only when the forge confirms H is the pull request's current
head; otherwise nothing ends and that is said. A one-shot recheck ends
them within the call. Tries, walk builds, group checks, other pull
requests' checks and rechecks of the same head are left alone.

mesh-mail's events must live on a stream of their own and reach only the modules the operator granted
an account (ADR 0359 §2, §4). The controller now creates a module's declared stream, publishes its events
on mesh.stream.<module>.event.<event>, and composes a consumer's durable consumer, filters and bus grants
on a restricted stream only where its consumes asks and the provider's trusted value names it; a consumer
that loses its grant has its consumer removed on the next assertion. Nothing changes while no manifest
declares a stream.

A one-sentence change in a package mesh-builder imports but never reaches moved
build-agent. A merge check now compares each module it builds with the build the
mesh holds, the whole image without file times, labels or creation time, and a
walk is cut without a module every check of its pull requests found the same,
while the mesh still holds that build. A comparison that fails moves the module
as before.

The controller's check spent 3-5 minutes in cmd/mesh-controller, whose few hundred store tests run one
after another, while most packages end in seconds. merge-check.sh now compiles each slow package once and
deals its tests round-robin into processes that run beside each other and beside the rest of the suite;
every test still runs once, under the race detector, through its package's TestMain. The listed store
tests run beside the suite instead of after it.
internal/builder's judge tests ran a real go build with a fresh Go cache each, compiling the standard
library every time: half the suite's CPU. The fake runtime fills an empty cache from one warmed per
process. The lease tests run in parallel. The link test of slow work now sets its one-second window after
the serving loop asserted the controller's thirty-second one, so it proves the heartbeat (it passed
without it) in half the time.

A check built its images one after another, after merge-check.sh. With a judge cache the
builds run during the tests, out of their reach; a failed check lets go of them.
The check built in a temporary directory of the build holder's container, which the
host's engine mounted empty: every check build failed and every walk built again.

A check's own volume is no place for the replays: the store replay binds a
directory it makes there into other containers by path, which the container
runtime would create on the build node's own disk (review 12308). Without the
build agent's judge cache the replays are refused and the gate says so as an
error; replays the runtime cannot start are the check's error, not the
change's; and an id that cannot name a place in the judge cache is refused
(hq issue 709, issue 704).
