novox/hq 04-ISSUES/125. A module assigned to a machine and never taken runs none of what it declares. Status had no vocabulary for it: the machine was heard from, current, and doing what it was told, so the mesh printed "all doing what they were told" — which was true, and was acted on, and every public name on the machine went dark. Status now names each module a machine is holding rather than running, per machine and with a count, read from what the MACHINE reported rather than from the mesh's take-time listing — the machine is the only thing that knows what it found. The JSON form carries the same rows, absent rather than empty when nothing is held. And a hold suppresses the all-well sentence, where being adopted does not: adopted is a mode somebody chose, a module assigned and never taken is a half-finished action with nothing left to finish it. The condition is now a named function so the rule lives in one place and a test binds to the real thing rather than a copy of it. untakenModules raises a read it cannot make rather than answering "holding nothing" from a failed query, which is the shape this whole issue is.
