Deletes the placement and candidate writes, the reread tool and its forge reads, the two buckets and the placement-changed event.
D1a and D1b are one commit: the index package, the named reads, the tools and the manifest do not compile apart.
Asking whether the merge contains the held commit refused forward merges
forever on a diverged or rewritten main or a squash-merged registered head,
failed every later merge when the forge no longer had the held commit, and
cost one forge call per held commit. The question is now the reverse: a merge
is kept back only when it is in the taken merge and differs from it. A merged
message asks it once, before it writes anything, and a late message writes no
module, deletion, placement or taken key. A take-in asks it once for its
module. A 404 is not known to be older and is written, and said; any other
failure to say leaves the message for redelivery.
The indexer wrote mesh-catalog's merge 9cdac09a back over the later 69056948,
rolling kernel and mesh-build-image back on the nodes: a merged message's
commit was written whatever the held one was. Before writing or deleting a
module's value, the indexer now asks the forge whether the merge contains the
held commit, keeps the held value when it does not and says so, and leaves the
message for redelivery when the forge cannot say. Each applied merged message
is said in one line with the modules written.
No tool showed what the indexer heard of FORGE nor a modules key's history
with times, so the cause could not be proven: the indexer now records each
FORGE message it handles (sequence, deliveries, times, commit, outcome) in its
state heard, read by indexer_heard, and indexer_module_history reads
modules.<module>'s kept values with their times.
Quick fix (Src order in writeOverlay) rejected: Src is 0 once the source moved
on, as here. Thorough fix chosen: the order is the forge's, on every path that
writes a module (merged message, take-in).

A head older than the record, or one whose order the forge cannot say, would have written
an older manifest back. The new tests become rows of existing ones: the repository is over
its 500 unit tests.
A merge whose merged message never reached the indexer had no recovery: take-in answered
held for mesh-vault, whose record stayed at 78d7ef7 after mesh-catalog#535.
A drained forge stream does not say a merge was applied: the forge bridge was still
retrying mesh-catalog#535's merged message when the indexer started, and the source's
head moved taken.mesh-catalog to 9fd9569, so the view and show said the merge was on the
machines while mesh-vault's record stood at 78d7ef7 (ADR 0556 clause 1).
One commit for the branch feat/1126-nodes-compose of mesh-delivery: its 16 commits squashed so its history does not carry the 17.8 MB compiled mesh-delivery-assigner a commit added by mistake and a later one removed (issue 1577). The tree equals the former head ff6c038d. The operator allowed this rewrite of the feature branch on 2026-10-26.
A registered module whose repository the forge answered 404 (car-hunter, snake, before the forge's account could read
them) was read again only when the indexer started again or the controller wrote a new build record of it, so the grants
part's composed user list stayed short of their subjects and the take-over was refused. A failed read now keeps the
module as unread, read again on the next source revision and the next merged message (no timer of its own), and the new
tool indexer_take_in (the tools bundle mesh-delivery-indexer-tools, through the indexer's takeins state, as the
builder's builder_ask_again) takes one in now and answers what it stored or why not.

Candidate.Base was never written non-zero (review round 2): the builder's base lookup would have found no trunk for any
live candidate and built no preview at all. The indexer now writes, whenever it writes a candidate's fingerprints, the gate's
source revision whose trunk heads it read the previews onto; that head of the pull request's repository is the preview's
trunk. No mesh-sdk change: the field and its meaning were there. The builder's test now takes the candidate the indexer's
own test writes (testdata/candidate-written.json, kept equal to it), not a hand-made one.
The operator, 2026-10-25: only if a module has a new version in commit x is a new value written naming commit x. A merge
wrote every module of the repository at the new commit, fingerprint unchanged (about 186 keys per mesh-catalog merge), and
the controller's take-in took each in again: twice tonight it flooded. Now a merge that gives a module the value it holds
but for the commit writes nothing, and the value keeps the commit its fingerprint first appeared at. The kind: a write
that differs only in where it was computed. The other instance, a source revision re-stamping Src on every module at its
repository's head after any merge anywhere, now stamps Src once. The trunk head stays the gate's source.main.

On 2026-10-25 20:56 assigning mesh-build-node to ace again brought ace's report of 2026-10-23 (v26.12.0) back into the
agreement before the module ran there; the indexer blanked every module's fingerprint to "builders disagree" and the
controller's take-in refused modules already computed and built.
- The toolchain gate (indexer, builder, checker; still one file in three) leaves a report out, said once, until its node
writes it since its current assignment: the assignment's own time, or the revision that opened it.
- The indexer keeps a module's held fingerprint while a language has no agreed toolchain, when its kept inputs with the
toolchains it was computed with give it again; only a new fingerprint (a merge, a base, an agreed toolchain moved)
needs the agreement.
A merged message or a preview without the objects gives the module none, naming the paths. Every other module keeps its
directory's tree. Module.ArtifactPaths is filled for the checker (the lead's interface).
The indexer holds no published list of predefined keys; each key a value names is taken as the value declares it.
No fingerprint input comes from the list: the gate and the controller still judge the value.
I1: a merge writes each module its manifests name, at its directory. I2: a pull request's changed directory, a
preview's touched module and a source revision's modules come from the modules bucket (a module a pull request adds is
found in the preview by its manifest). I4: the value of today's form (fp, none) is no longer written, since it was
computed from the build records; mesh-sdk keeps it readable until R4g. One commit: the three share applyMerged and its
tests. Pins mesh-sdk feat/r4e-sdk 9cb4d59.
