// A recorded build reaches a machine only by a person's push (novox/hq issue 295, ADR 0242).
//
// **A send carries the machine's whole declaration** (ADR 0221), composed from the build the mesh holds
// of every module on it. A module whose upgrade policy records — postgres, mongodb, keycloak, the
// network path — has its new build registered at its merge and sent nowhere, "until a person pushes".
// But every other send to its machine composed it too: on 2026-10-07 a catalogue merge adopting the
// images' health checks rebuilt postgres and mongodb with the rest, and the plan's gated send to the
// control node for mail — and to the anchor for the spreadsheet app — carried both, recreating the
// providers every consumer on those machines drops with. No gate judged them (the gate judges only what
// rolls out), and nobody had pushed.
//
// So **every send but a person's push composes a recorded module at the build its machine was last
// sent**: the manifest of that build, from the build records, in place of the one the mesh holds. The
// machine runs what it ran; the send records that it still carries that build; `status` keeps saying
// the machine is behind, and `push <node>` — a person's word — sends the new one. The bus step is a
// person's too, and carries the bus; any other recorded module waiting on the bus's machine stays.
//
// A recorded module the machine was never sent (a new assignment) is composed as the mesh holds it —
// there is nothing running to keep. One whose kept build is no longer in the records refuses the send,
// said: composing the new build would be the very move this exists to stop.
