The gate and the repository's check mount the workspace read-write, so a
build from that tree could hold what the tests wrote under a key that
describes the merge. A check now clones the merge outside the workspace
before anything of the change runs, and builds from that. A check keeps,
and a walk takes, only a build an earlier check of the same pull request
at the same head made: another pull request's build, or an earlier
head's, is never registered. The walk reads the verdicts once
(novox/hq issue 703, review of #328).

A fresh check asked when only the trunk moved rebuilt every image, though
the reuse key said nothing it is built from changed: a controller check
took about 12 minutes instead of 5.5. The check now keeps a build kept
under its key when a verdict of the build seat names that key and every
digest, names it as the build's own check so a walk takes it, and the
cleanup keeps it while any check names it (novox/hq issue 703).

A storm of closures must not spend a watchdog tick, so the read stops at 2000
events and says the count is a floor. A failed read is its own condition
rather than blinding S9, so the controller's own signals are still said. The
controller's fall behind, told to its client and closed by the server, is one
fault, counted once.

The controller heard a slow consumer only on its own connection: the server
says another user's only in its record of closed connections. The bus module
now says that record as events; the watchdogs read the last hour back on every
tick and raise one condition per user and kind, naming the module and machine.
The module check lets the bus module emit, since its tool runner publishes.

Review of #314: a try's start named its commit, which the forge's holder

names no repository or commit. One try per commit and four in all, a try

checked before it is a bus subject.

Store tests skip without a store and no agent may start one, so each failure
cost a 15-30 minute review round. The try verb asks the build seat for the
repository's merge-check.sh on the ref merged into the trunk, as a check in
the build queue, and reads its outcome from the build's log: no status on
the forge, nothing registered, nothing built for a merge.
Review of #283: a drain whose replacement was withdrawn held the agent for
ever with its health green; the gate trusted the engine's until; a machine
of the rest waiting at the bound read as silent and its apply time held the
wait; an unknown mesh-builder word exited 0; plan said nothing of a busy an
older engine is not sent; and a node with a report and no send broke the
reading of every last report (the store test's NULL).

The artifact store takes writes from anything on its network, so a record
planted under another merge's key could have been registered: the walk now
takes a scratch build only when the build seat's own verdict for one of its
pull requests names its key and digests. Deleting by digest also took builds
another check shared (review of #311; novox/hq ADR 0350).

A merge built every moved module a second time although its check had judged
the same tree (issue 649). The check now builds into the scratch namespace
under a reuse key (source fingerprint plus the builder's own digest), and the
walk of the trunk commit copies a build of the same key by digest instead of
building, saying per module why when it cannot (novox/hq ADR 0350).

A Servarr app's API key, an indexer's key and a downloader's password are values the provider's
software holds; the pair path made a random value for every consumer of them, sealed it to both ends
and reported success, and the provider refused it. An offer may now say `"credential": {"issued-by":
"outside"}`: SecretFor never makes a value for it, the plan reads such a pair as given or not given
and sends the consumer no credential file until a person gives it, without refusing its machine;
remakeShared and SharedSecretFor never make a provider's own secret issued outside either.
`secret accept <provider's node> <provider module> <provision>` seals one value to every consumer that
binds the provision from that provider, the provider and the operator, under one generation; the
per-pair form is refused for such a provision, and rotate names the accept. A consumer may wait for a
provision's credential: the controller excuses the wait only when the store bears it out, and its
needs-operator condition names the one accept line.
Adds the replay of issue 164 (TestReplay164), written with only what the controller had before.

A merge into mesh-controller replaced every build agent and threw away the
checks in flight (issue 594). The manifest's container busy is checked and
sent only to an engine that reads it; a report's busy waits are kept, the
gate starts at the report that says the container replaced, and the wait is
a phase of the delivery time. mesh-builder busy drains the agent and answers
while a build is in hand (novox/hq ADR 0335).

The forge clips a status to 140 characters, so the long sentence pushed the
verdict's own words out; and a paused holder's hand-back or a bus delay also
count as a delivery, so the cause is not claimed (novox/hq issue 594).
A build agent replaced mid-build leaves its ask to be handed out again, and
the second run looked like a first: the queue and the pull request showed
nothing of the 5-8 minutes lost (novox/hq issue 594).
Reading the build events waited two seconds on every queue read, the race
detector's exit sleep cost a second per command line a test runs, and the
lease and plan-wait tests waited out production intervals (novox/hq issue 591).

Second review of #276: a dead letter delivered again beside its original
shares its request id and was removed as a copy, losing the ask; and a
publish that outlived the pause could delete an original a holder had
taken. A copy now names the message it copies, removals are said, the
publish waits inside the pause's margin, and an original handed out
meanwhile keeps its place while the copy goes.
Review of #276: a move deleted before it published, so a failed publish
lost an ask; a verb's own process ran a pass beside the serving one, so
one could resume the queue while the other moved asks and a build ran
twice. The copy is now published first and second copies removed by id,
asks only signal the acting controller's loop, moves stop with 5 s of
the pause left, a cancel finds a moved ask by id, and an unreadable ask
keeps its age.

The agent listens on nothing, so the node-engine could judge it only alive and
held it starting for the whole grace on every machine a walk moved it to. It
now writes a mark once it is bound to its worker, after its seat verbs are
served, and 'mesh-builder ready' passes only while the mark is there.

A merged change's walk waited minutes on its build behind checks in a

has waited ten minutes before deliveries asked after it, and says each

A change touching no module, in a repository with no merge-check.sh, was
answered by the controller with no trunk commit, so the merge tool refused it,
asked again and refused it for ever (novox/mesh-tools-go; novox/hq ADR 0323).
A check judged the head alone, so two pull requests that each passed could
break the trunk together (node-engine #66 on 2026-10-09), and a recheck after
the trunk moved judged the same head again. The build seat now merges the head
into the trunk's head in its own clone, never pushed, fails a head that does not
merge cleanly naming the files, and the verdict names the head, the trunk
commit and the commits read beside it, for the forge and mesh-delivery to weigh
against the trunk's next move (novox/hq ADR 0323, issue 341).

Since #256 delivered, the node-engine judges every read-write access by the path's group alone and
states six media modules unhealthy on ace, though they write their folders as the owner; every
delivery there fails its gate (hq issue 567). ADR 0325 replaces ADR 0312; until it is built, the
controller sends no grant, as before #256.
This reverts commit 3cfc121670.

An agent following a rollout had plans answer once, in prose, and polled the
console with a curl loop of its own to be told a plan moved. plans now takes
wait (a plan's id), until (moved, tier or done) and bound, and answers when the
plan moves or the bound passes, saying which, with the plan as data and its
line as the output.
A call's one answer has to reach the console inside its thirty seconds, so
link.AnswersWithin lets a handler that waits on purpose hold its answer up to
LongestAnswer (25s) instead of AnswerWithin; the bound is at most 20s, and a
caller following a plan further asks again.

The issue tracker holds a fix to the budget of the slowest-budgeted module it

change's own: core, leaf, or none.

The queue verb answered only a table, so nothing outside the controller
could say an ask's place in the queue. It now asks its command for JSON:
each ask's state, kind, repository, commit, machine, since and position
among the waiting, with the table carried beside it and answered as the
verb's output, both written from one read. A repository's password, if
one were ever written into it, is left out of what is shown.

Before the node-engine gives a mesh directory its mode and owner only through
a walk that follows no link another account could make, the operator is to
see which directories that walk would refuse on every node, the control-node
included, where no tool reads a path. `node judge-directories <node>` signs
the ask as a hand-over is, under its own context, and prints the engine's
one line per directory; it changes nothing, so it is a seat verb an agent may
call. The node is granted the subject, the controller alone its publish.
Each read-write access is composed with a grant: the module's containers that
mount its path and the account its tools run as (the operator's, or the module's
own under ADR 0259 §8); that runtime restarts on the access, so it holds a group
the engine put its account in. A read access grants nothing. Sent only to an
engine whose statement says GrantContract (4), since an older one refuses the
field. Pins the node-engine at the branch that reads it.

A registration asked the forge while node-tools re-served after a tool-runner
rollout, heard "nothing serves gitea.gitea_api", and failed a good build's
plan. The bus's not-served answer is now link.ErrNothingServes (and a timeout
link.ErrNoAnswer), and the registration asks again for up to 90 s on those
alone, never on a refusal; past the bound it fails saying how long it waited.

A token a media server got from its vendor reached its consumers only as a value the mesh minted, which
the server refused, or as a copy typed by hand. An offer may now say its software issues the credential;
the new issued verb carries no value and asks the provider's tool, in the controller's own name, for the
value sealed to one call, then seals it to every pair that does not hold it yet.
A line is said with a plain publish, so a live subscriber can hold both
lines while the stream has stored one or none yet; the test read the
stream once and failed under load. It now waits up to 5 s for both.

A declaration newer in sequence than every other named four fewer modules
than the assignments held, a machine applied it, and nothing the mesh kept
said who sent it or from what view. The store now raises an assignment
generation in the same transaction as every assignment change (a trigger,
so a cascade counts too); a send reads it before composing, carries it to
engines that said they read it, marks a gate's put-back, and is recorded
with its sequence, sender, generation and modules. The would-send is
stamped with what was last sent, so nothing reads behind for it; a refusal
is kept on the send it refused and raised as S20 naming the sender; plan
says what the machine was last told.
The seat runs the running controller's besideRefs, which clones no mesh-sdk until this
change has rolled out, so a missing clone failing the test kept this change from ever
passing its own check. A follow-up makes it a failure again after the rollout.
A pull request moving the SDK passed its check against the old SDK and then failed
everywhere once it rolled out. In a merge check the test now reads the clone's history
at the tree's own go.mod pin, and holds the captured copy to the clone byte for byte.
A check clones mesh-sdk beside the controller at the commit go.mod pins; elsewhere
the test reads a copy captured at that commit, held to go.mod. A missing clone fails
instead of skipping.

A build ask its seat's worker gave up on could only be dropped, though the

The give-up time is not newer for every letter kept: a notice that could
not be kept is offered again a minute later, so a later give-up can be kept
first and the one after it read as not fresh. The stored time rises with the
stream's sequence. A consumer whose letters vanish between the two reads is
left out of the look instead of counted as a look, and the skip of a
token-less max-deliveries advisory now has a test of its own.

The dead-letter row and a max-deliveries advisory without a token both said
bus.<stream>.<consumer>.max-deliveries: each look added an observation and a
line of evidence through the row, and the two overwrote each other's words.
The row owns the key since issue 330, so the advisory watcher leaves it, and
the row now says when the newest held message was given up, so a letter held
for a day no longer reads as observed every 30 seconds. Times without Happened
is refused, since the raise ignored it and an update counted it.

The review of #210 found that the fix left the hole open and widened
another.
A command's words were cut on a space alone, while the verb's own
splitter parts them on a space, a tab or a newline. The same line
written with tabs found no space, so all of it was kept — the very hole
this closes. Its words are now parted as the splitter parts them.
And because the command arm sits above the arm that caps a string at
120 bytes, a command kept whole was no longer capped: for a 300-byte
single token the change kept more than the code it replaced. The first
word now carries the same cap.
A one-word command is still kept whole, but the comment no longer
claims it carries nothing to withhold: the record is written before the
verb judges the line, so one word may be a token or compact JSON. The
cap is what bounds that.
The test now says the whole of what is kept for each line, which is
also what proves the rest is gone, and looks for forbidden words as
whole words rather than as substrings — so "set" is back in the list,
and "show" cannot hide in a word such as "shown". All eight cases fail
against the unfixed code.
