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…
The operator's budget (a leaf module running everywhere within five minutes
of its merge, a core module within ten) cannot be held to without knowing
where a walk's time goes. A walk now keeps when its batch's window closed,
when it was cut and its class (migration 0093), each gate reading, and what
each machine of the rest was sent; 'delivery walks' and plan-moved say its
phases from the merge to every machine of the rest reporting the build
applied, and ended walks keep them as walk-phase durations per class. Probe
D16 reads mesh-delivery's 'times' and raises delivery.<class>.over-budget.
A phase that cannot be measured is said unknown, never zero. Measurement
only: no walk is held, sent or judged differently.

Every merge opened a walk and the next merge of the branch superseded it: two
catalogue merges 18 s apart left a walk no delivery held, and the operator
started it by hand 58 minutes later. A merge now joins the open batch, kept in
the store (migration 0089), which is cut into one walk when no merge came for
merge-window (90 s) or at merge-window-at-most (10 min): one commit per
repository, the latest of its branch, with every file the batch's merges
changed. One walk at a time; a started walk is never superseded, a waiting one
is folded into the next. The walk names every merge it answers on the wire
(delivery.merges, taken_over_by, batch). A failed walk walks its earlier merges
alone, newest first, until one is delivered. A delivery group's order becomes
tier edges inside the walk. plans shows the batch assembling; S18 and S19
bound its waits; S16 names the merges a waiting walk answers.
A controller restart lost every call's outcome, `status` composed the mesh
while its caller waited (18.6s live on 2026-10-06, past the 10s window), a
repair by hand left no trace, and the core's bounds had nothing measured to
be set from.
- calls: kept in the controller's bucket mesh-controller_calls (last 1000 or
14 days, answers bounded to 64 KiB), read by id across a restart; a
controller starting marks a stopped one's running calls abandoned; each
call names its caller from the inbox its answer goes to.
- status: the serving controller composes it at start, after news from a
machine, a build or an acting verb, and every minute; the verb answers the
last composition at once with when and how long it took. Composing resolves
each machine once instead of twice.
- hand-act log in mesh-controller_hand-acts: push (required through the seat),
plans stop/close, broker consumer-reset and the new hand-act record take
--why/--cause/--condition; `hand-acts` lists them and repeated causes;
status counts the week's.
- durations (migration 0066): apply (send to first report), heartbeat gap,
plan tier and build, recorded as heard; `durations` summarises them.
- the controller's seat row takes this binary's definition of its own verbs,
so the console no longer judges calls against an older build's schema.
- the controller is granted its two buckets' subjects.
