These are the two small follow-ups to #174 from the confirmation review, based on main after #174 and #175 merged.
The forge's rule.askTheForge used to pass a branch if any covering rule guarded it. It now judges the single rule the forge applies (judgedRule): the rule named for the branch, otherwise the first glob rule in the forge's order that covers it. Before this, [exact main: push allowed, glob *: guarded] was read as guarded.
A kept identity.SetSourceIdentity(module, 0) used to clear the recorded forge id; this happened at the terminal when the forge could not give one. It now keeps the recorded id (coalesce(nullif($2,0), source_repo_id)). A terminal move to another repository whose id the forge cannot give therefore keeps the old id. The next registration through a verb is then refused for the id mismatch, which is loud, until the forge answers at the terminal.
Tests: TestTheRuleJudgedIsTheOneTheForgeApplies and TestAnUnknownIdentityKeepsTheRecordedOne. Both fail against the old behaviour (three assertions) and pass now. merge-check.sh passes on this head, which is current main plus this commit.

- **The forge's rule.** `askTheForge` used to pass a branch if *any* covering rule guarded it. It now judges the single rule the forge applies (`judgedRule`): the rule named for the branch, otherwise the first glob rule in the forge's order that covers it. Before this, `[exact main: push allowed, glob *: guarded]` was read as guarded.
- **A kept identity.** `SetSourceIdentity(module, 0)` used to clear the recorded forge id; this happened at the terminal when the forge could not give one. It now keeps the recorded id (`coalesce(nullif($2,0), source_repo_id)`). A terminal move to another repository whose id the forge cannot give therefore keeps the old id. The next registration through a verb is then refused for the id mismatch, which is loud, until the forge answers at the terminal.
Tests: `TestTheRuleJudgedIsTheOneTheForgeApplies` and `TestAnUnknownIdentityKeepsTheRecordedOne`. Both fail against the old behaviour (three assertions) and pass now. `merge-check.sh` passes on this head, which is current main plus this commit.
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 forge applies the rule named for a branch, else the first glob covering
it; the judge passed a branch whose applied rule let pushes when a later rule
happened to guard it. And a registration whose id the forge could not give
cleared the id already recorded (the confirmation review of 2026-10-09).
