novox/hq ADR 0010 replaced a pipeline with a comparison, and named the risk:
losing the question "did my change go out?". The mesh could already answer
which modules are behind their source — and then a person read that list and
retyped each repository, which is a person being the loop, and the loop is the
thing the pipeline was doing before it was taken away.
The mirror of `push --behind`, with the same argument and the same refusal to
combine the two forms: naming a repository and asking which need building are
different requests.
One failing does not stop the others, for the same reason one broken module no
longer blocks a machine's whole declaration: a mesh where one bad repository
holds back nine good ones is a mesh where nobody dares add the tenth.
Each is built from its own recorded ref rather than the commit the mesh
happened to notice — pinning to that would quietly turn a tracked branch into
a pin.
