Fixes novox/hq issue 703 (a merge check rebuilds its images when only the trunk moved), under ADR 0350.
Acceptance: a check that the merge tool asks again after the trunk moves, where nothing an image is built from changed, builds no image and names the earlier build by key and digest. The walk then takes that build.
What changed:
Controller: when it asks for a check, it reads the build seat's verdicts once for the modules that check builds. This covers any pull request within the week builds are kept (ReadCheckBuildsOf), and the result goes in the ask as CheckRequest.Named. If the verdicts cannot be read, the list is empty and the check builds as before.
Builder: after the check takes a module's key, it looks for a scratch record under that key. It keeps the record (keptCheckBuild) only when a named verdict gives its key, its check and every digest (the same unnamed test the walk uses), and only when the record holds every declared artifact. A scratch record that no verdict names is never trusted.
The verdict: a kept build carries kept: <check that built it>. ReadCheckBuilds names it as that check's build, so the walk's existing check-id match on the record holds, including for another pull request's walk.
Cleanup (letGo): the keeping check's document lists the build, so its artifacts stay while that check exists. Its record under the key also stays while any remaining check names it, and it goes with the last check that names it.
merge-check.sh still runs on every check. Only the image builds are skipped.
Not done: building the images in parallel with merge-check.sh. Today a build happens only after a check that did not fail, and a parallel build would have to be discarded when the check fails. It would also compete for CPU with the race-detector suite within the 45-minute limit. That is more than a small change, and a kept build already takes seconds.
New tests (internal/builder/reuse_test.go, internal/link/check_builds_test.go, cmd/mesh-controller/check_builds_test.go):
A second check whose key is unchanged builds nothing and names the earlier build. The walk takes that build. This test fails on main.
A check whose key changed builds.
A record that no verdict names (no verdict, another digest, another key) is not kept.
A build that a later check kept stays when the check that built it goes. This test fails on main.
The bus read and the controller's hand-off.
gofmt, go vet ./... and go test -race ./... are green. mesh-controller.try passed at 1666747a22 in 3m47s.

**Acceptance:** a check that the merge tool asks again after the trunk moves, where nothing an image is built from changed, builds no image and names the earlier build by key and digest. The walk then takes that build.
What changed:
- **Controller:** when it asks for a check, it reads the build seat's verdicts once for the modules that check builds. This covers any pull request within the week builds are kept (`ReadCheckBuildsOf`), and the result goes in the ask as `CheckRequest.Named`. If the verdicts cannot be read, the list is empty and the check builds as before.
- **Builder:** after the check takes a module's key, it looks for a scratch record under that key. It keeps the record (`keptCheckBuild`) only when a named verdict gives its key, its check and every digest (the same `unnamed` test the walk uses), and only when the record holds every declared artifact. A scratch record that no verdict names is never trusted.
- **The verdict:** a kept build carries `kept: <check that built it>`. `ReadCheckBuilds` names it as that check's build, so the walk's existing check-id match on the record holds, including for another pull request's walk.
- **Cleanup (`letGo`):** the keeping check's document lists the build, so its artifacts stay while that check exists. Its record under the key also stays while any remaining check names it, and it goes with the last check that names it.
- merge-check.sh still runs on every check. Only the image builds are skipped.
Not done: building the images in parallel with merge-check.sh. Today a build happens only after a check that did not fail, and a parallel build would have to be discarded when the check fails. It would also compete for CPU with the race-detector suite within the 45-minute limit. That is more than a small change, and a kept build already takes seconds.
New tests (`internal/builder/reuse_test.go`, `internal/link/check_builds_test.go`, `cmd/mesh-controller/check_builds_test.go`):

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).

mesh/merge-gate head 060f2a9ca5fd merged into trunk 04730b54a8f2 — pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every …
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).

modules the change moves:

machines:
- a machine (f35): composes
- holds mesh-dns-resolver (idt): composes
- holds git, holds mesh-artifact-store, holds mesh-broker, holds mesh-catalog, holds mesh-delivery, holds mesh-dns-resolver, holds mesh-store, holds mesh-vault, holds npm-package-registry, the control node, the hub (ygcyr): composes

a merge would rebuild 2 module(s) in 2 tier(s): build-agent, mesh-controller

A build of another pull request or of a head the forge did not merge is
in no verdict the walk is handed; the walk now names the check that made
it, so its "built:" line says which head it was (novox/hq issue 703).

merge gate: PASS — every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
judged by controller development build against the facts of 2026-10-14T07:25:52Z
modules the change moves:
- mesh-controller (changed)
machines:
- a machine (f35): composes
- holds mesh-dns-resolver (idt): composes
- holds git, holds mesh-artifact-store, holds mesh-broker, holds mesh-catalog, holds mesh-delivery, holds mesh-dns-resolver, holds mesh-store, holds mesh-vault, holds npm-package-registry, the control node, the hub (ygcyr): composes
- a machine (yvbpsm): composes
a merge would rebuild 2 module(s) in 2 tier(s): build-agent, mesh-controller

Fixes novox/hq issue 703 (a merge check rebuilds its images when only the trunk moved), under ADR 0350.
Acceptance: a check that the merge tool asks again after the trunk moves, where nothing an image is built from changed, builds no image and names the earlier build by key and digest. The walk then takes that build.
What changed:
ReadCheckBuildsOf), and the result goes in the ask asCheckRequest.Named. If the verdicts cannot be read, the list is empty and the check builds as before.keptCheckBuild) only when a named verdict gives its key, its check and every digest (the sameunnamedtest the walk uses), and only when the record holds every declared artifact. A scratch record that no verdict names is never trusted.kept: <check that built it>.ReadCheckBuildsnames it as that check's build, so the walk's existing check-id match on the record holds, including for another pull request's walk.letGo): the keeping check's document lists the build, so its artifacts stay while that check exists. Its record under the key also stays while any remaining check names it, and it goes with the last check that names it.Not done: building the images in parallel with merge-check.sh. Today a build happens only after a check that did not fail, and a parallel build would have to be discarded when the check fails. It would also compete for CPU with the race-detector suite within the 45-minute limit. That is more than a small change, and a kept build already takes seconds.
