mesh/merge-gate pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller, route-proxy → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it…
On the control node the store-bound packages of the controller's suite ran
five to seven times slower than on any other holder, and every controller
check that landed there ran past the suite's thirty minutes: a throwaway
store flushing to a disk the mesh's own store, bus and forge keep busy.
A store that lives for one check needs no crash safety.
A holder recreated mid-check left the check's store and bus running, and
the redelivery went to another machine, so nothing removed them: eleven
pairs across four machines. A starting holder has taken nothing, so every
container labelled with an ask of the seat is an earlier holder's.
A queued ask could only be waited out and a running build only ended by
stopping the machine, which redelivered it elsewhere. The holder now serves
current, kill, pause and resume on its own machine's subjects; a kill ends
the build's process group and labelled containers and settles the ask as
failed, killed by hand; pause is kept in the workspace across a restart and
said on the bus. The controller writes cancelled ids to a cancelled set the
holder reads on taking an ask, closing the race a delete alone leaves.
