A module's dependencies are one relation in the catalogue — stands-on, packages, built-by, declared —
answered by one call. A merge takes what moved and everything reachable from it, sorts the set into
tiers (a code dependency in the same tier, a build dependency after its base is built, a runtime
dependency after the build machine is built and running; the build machine's own base comes first,
built by the one that runs), writes the plan to the store, asks the first tier and returns. Every
outcome advances the plan; a ticker advances what outcomes cannot; a controller replaced mid-plan
resumes it. status lists open plans and names one that has waited too long.
