The open helpers were copied into seven parts; code shared between
modules lives in mesh-sdk, so they are mesh-sdk process's now and the
parts are pinned at fix/1945-optional-buckets (e0d1de04), moved to its
main once it merges, one delivery group with mesh-sdk.
Met twice on 2026-10-25: the builder of #48 exited on a refused read of
the gate's source and crash-looped, and its new reasks bucket would have
done the same. A grant reaches the bus with a delivery, so a refusal or a
timeout at start is often only a grant not there yet; exiting for it
stopped the whole part until a hand step on the bus.
Every startup open in the parts is now essential or optional. Essential
ones (a part's own state and the input it exists for) still stop the
start, with an error naming the bucket and its grant. Optional ones are
said and left: watches the bus refuses too. The builder builds trunk keys
without the gate's source, which it opens again at the next candidate
that asks a trunk head; toolchains and previews open again at their next
event, as a missing bucket did. builder_ask_again says that asking a
running step again builds it twice.

The test predates the fix that keeps a held fingerprint while builders disagree (#47, 3e7f852) and still asserted the
blanking that fix removed, so it fails on main 4efe6cf as well. It now asserts the fingerprint is kept after n2's
assignment, and that a merge moving avahi during the disagreement gets none until the builders agree.

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.
mesh-build-node was unassigned from ace on 2026-10-23 and its ace.typescript key stayed in
mesh-build-node_toolchains at v26.12.0: nothing deletes it, so the indexer, the builder and the
checker took it for a builder and every Node fingerprint said 'builders disagree'. The three now
read mesh-controller_assignments and pass a toolchain report on only while its build module has an
open assignment on its node; builders that run different versions still disagree.

The checker's go.mod and go.sum conflicted on the mesh-sdk pin (checker lane 9cb4d59, builder lane e76a5a3): every
module touched is pinned to the sdk lane's newest head d1af87a until the final SDK head.
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.
