novox/hq issue 544: the build agent declares no health, so the node-engine holds it starting for the whole 60 s grace on every machine a walk moves it to (about 80 s per tier).
A tool check on a node-build-agent verb is not possible: the node-engine asks a tool check only of a module's own tools and reads a health answer, and module check refuses a tool the module does not serve. The agent listens on nothing, so http and tcp are out too. So:
link.MachineOptions.Taking is called once, after Take is bound to the role's worker (and so after the seat verbs are served and announced).
mesh-builder removes a mark in its container's temp directory at start, writes it from Taking, and mesh-builder ready exits 0 only while the mark is there. That is the exec check mesh-catalog's build-agent declares (companion PR on mesh-catalog, same branch name).
An older image answers mesh-builder ready with its usage and exit 0, so the catalogue change landing first only gives a weaker check until this rolls; it never puts a build back.
Tests: TestNatsAHolderSaysItTakesWorkOnceItIsBound (bound: said once; a role with no worker: never said), TestTheAgentIsReadyOnlyOnceItTakesWork. go test ./internal/link ./cmd/mesh-builder green, go vet clean.

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.

novox/hq issue 544: the build agent declares no health, so the node-engine holds it
startingfor the whole 60 s grace on every machine a walk moves it to (about 80 s per tier).A tool check on a node-build-agent verb is not possible: the node-engine asks a tool check only of a module's own tools and reads a health answer, and
module checkrefuses a tool the module does not serve. The agent listens on nothing, so http and tcp are out too. So:link.MachineOptions.Takingis called once, afterTakeis bound to the role's worker (and so after the seat verbs are served and announced).mesh-builderremoves a mark in its container's temp directory at start, writes it fromTaking, andmesh-builder readyexits 0 only while the mark is there. That is the exec check mesh-catalog's build-agent declares (companion PR on mesh-catalog, same branch name).An older image answers
mesh-builder readywith its usage and exit 0, so the catalogue change landing first only gives a weaker check until this rolls; it never puts a build back.Tests:
