What the running builds serve is read when a changed build module is met: the node-engine's haves, the builder's
build of each, its manifest. The modules it builds are composed from their manifests, as for any changed build
module, and the composition's warnings name the verb.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KG7AfSdh6FP8VrBqCn
A failed candidate build no longer needs mesh-delivery.recheck, an exception verb (ADR 0421 §12): the checker hears the
builder's keys the failed verdict names and, once each is written done (builder_build_again), retakes the check of the
same heads as it does after a failure of the nodes, at its start too. When the tests have already failed the check
composes at once and names the builds it did not wait on, so its red status is never held back by a build.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KG7AfSdh6FP8VrBqCn
Worked out from the builder's builds state at each read, stored nowhere: of each running check, the candidate's builds
that are neither done nor failed.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KG7AfSdh6FP8VrBqCn
The builder already builds every candidate fingerprint into its own key. The check now watches exactly those keys on the
bus and composes once each is done or failed, within the new setting build-wait-bound (1800 s). A failed build fails the
check, naming it; a build not ended within the bound is named and the check composes without it. A module built by a
build module the change alters (mesh-build-go or mesh-build-node), one standing on a base the change alters, and one the
trunk holds no record of are not waited on, and the composition's warnings name each with why.

D13b: the composition's warnings, and so the check's line, name the changed modules built with the Go build module the change alters and those standing on a changed base. D9: builder and verdict rows. D15: the assigner's integration test gets a source revision changing a provider, its new consumer and a build module.

The invoke was left out (mesh-delivery #142) only while the indexer built before the verb ran; the new indexer and the
node-engine's compose-candidate run on every machine since 22:57, so a check composes on the machines again instead of
passing with a warning (ADR 0593 §7, §9).

The check of 2026-11-02 22:35 on a loaded shanks failed two buildrun tests on wall-clock bounds of 60 ms, the
second failure of this kind tonight (the first: mesh-sdk's busretry tests, f02f142).
Quick fix: give the two buildrun asker tests bounds of seconds.
Thorough fix (chosen, because the kind recurs across every module of the repository): every test that raced a
wall clock now waits on an event, steps a clock it is given, or has a bound only a failing test reaches.
- buildrun asker tests: the steps' own times stand for the clock (bound an hour, starts and phases written in the
past), no goroutine paces phases with sleeps.
- builder: the decline bound reads Builder.Now; the decline test steps it; the stream-wait test waits for five
check reads instead of 100 ms.
- checker: the lost-ask try bounds an untaken ask at 200 ms only where that is what ends it; the program says when a
merge turn changes, and the integration test waits on that line instead of 300 ms.
- teller: the bed makes the teller's own ends bucket (a 10 s stall at start the tests raced by 0.5 s), waits for its
warrant subscription instead of 500 ms pauses, and the package-level now is restored with t.Cleanup.
- watchman: the recount, run in its own goroutine, is waited for instead of 10 ms.
- polls of 2-5 s become 10 s (unit) and 20 s (integration).
Under a throttled cgroup (half a core shared with two busy loops) beside the node-engine's suite, the buildrun
tests failed 5 of 20 runs before and passed 30 of 30 after; no test added.

The running indexer, built before the verb existed, refuses a manifest invoking it, and one refused manifest holds the
grants part's whole list: no new grant is written, so the new indexer never moves (issue 1126, 2026-11-02). Quick fix,
chosen because the thorough one (the grants part keeps only the refused module's grants) cannot be delivered while the
list is held; a follow-up adds the invoke back. Until then a check's compose-candidate call is refused on the bus and the
node is named silent: the check passes with that warning (engines.go, ADR 0593 §9).

The composer command moved to the node-engine (ADR 0593 §7); a catalogue check had only mesh-sdk beside it. Pin the build runner to the catalogue head whose composer test skips aloud until then.

Review finding 4: an unreadable placement gave no nodes, so nobody was asked and the check passed. The
placement read now answers its error, and the verdict says the composition was not made and why.

Review finding 3 (ADR 0593 §9): only a node that does not answer may let a check pass with a warning; a
sandbox composer that cannot be built or run was filed with the silent nodes. It now fails that node's
composition, naming the head.

ADR 0593 §1: the step runner left mesh-sdk for mesh-build-go's buildstep package, so the examiner's unit
tests and the module's integration test require it by the group's version (as the builder does) rather
than an imitation of its plan and kept-verdict rules.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfJ9Gum47zkFKWRaovL
ADR 0593 §7, §9: the checker asks compose-candidate of each placed node in parallel within its own setting
compose-answer-bound (60 s); a refusal fails the check naming node and module, a silent, unready or
unreachable node passes with "not composed on that node: no answer". A group with a node-engine member is
composed by the composer at that head on the Go build seat over each node's input. The wait on the
assigner's compositions goes, and the checker invokes the one engine verb it needs.

ADR 0593 §2: only the indexer computes a package's version; the checker follows its packages state and

ADR 0593 §11: the controller's repository holds nothing that builds once route-proxy moves, so its

Review of 650a1d0: a member that only failed its tests got no preview, so the indexer held no manifest
of it, the assigner's composition only said it waits, and the check waited for ever. The preview is now
written whenever every build module's fetch merged; a member with no preview of a merge (a conflict, a
fetch that did not answer) makes the composition not run, said with the members it names, unawaited.

The operator, 2026-11-02: "A failed check shows only its first fault". Group feat/1126-removal's
check failed four times, each verdict naming one fault, so three faults took three runs of 20-40 minutes.
The checker no longer returns at a member's first failure: every member is asked, every level's
failures and every member's refused step or conflict are joined in judging order, the manifests are
judged and the composition is read also when the tests failed, and a failed composition is added after
them. The status line says how many failed and names the first, cut so "; and N more" stays whole.
checker_verdicts and checker_pull answer the whole list (failed). Needs mesh-sdk's buildstep change
(every level runs after a failure) pinned at the group's head.

buildrun leaves mesh-sdk for the builder's own Go module (ADR 0593 §1); the
checker, assigner, indexer and watchman require it by a replace to the sibling
directory. Issue 1930's bound was already on mesh-sdk's main and moves with it.
The builder copies the imports a build module answers to the done key and the
log's end entry, where the indexer keeps them (§2; D7).

A group's check judges each member against the group's heads (ADR 0482 §2,
ADR 0573 §4), but the checker placed mesh-catalog at its trunk beside every
other member even when the group held a catalogue pull request, so
mesh-delivery's judge tests in group feat/1126-removal judged the new judge
against catalogue main and failed. The catalogue now follows the rule of
every other sibling: the member's head and ref in a group, the trunk alone.
A catalogue change's own trunk copy (ADR 0529 §2) is placed separately and
is unchanged.

The controller ended by its unassignment (ADR 0590) and mesh-sdk drops
its seat, the grants seat and placement's adopt and hand-back. The
indexer's judge still carried the controller's seat entry, the old
removal words and the two placement verbs, and counted 58 seats; the
checker still placed mesh-controller beside the node-engine's and the
catalogue's tests and failed a node-engine check without its trunk; the
assigner still asked a compose of the running controller, served adopt
and hand-back as stubs, and kept a policy-split finding that could no
longer arise.

ADR 0582 "How it is checked": against an embedded bus, a stand-in controller holds the lease in a bucket with an
expiry (2 s standing in for 15 s, through grants.LeaseExpiry, so the wait past it is seconds), with stand-in
node-service-manager and bus-tool seats (the expiry tool acting on the real bucket's stream, as nats-tools'
SetBucketExpiry does). On the warrant the key holder names mesh-grants, the expiry is gone, the controller's
create of the key is refused, and the lease still reads handed away past the old expiry; on the hand-back's
warrant the expiry is back and the controller takes the lease again. mesh-grants requires nats-server for it,
at mesh-sdk's version.
Budget: TestTheLeaseWriteOnTheBus (new, integration) is paid by merging the checker's
TestTheCheckerAwaitsTheAssignersComposition into TestTheCheckersLineSaysTheAssignersComposition as its first case.

A check ask named no toolchain, so a node on the minority version could run it and KeepPasses record the pass as run on the agreed one. The check ask now carries the agreed toolchain and a node off it declines (mesh-sdk), for the checker's decline loop to put again. Pins the builder, indexer and checker.
Known limit: the checker puts a declined check ask again at once, with no pause; the declining puller skips that kind until its next pull wait, which paces a lone minority node.
