A build ask its seat's stream gave up on, dropped or ended with no step was
waited for with no end, and on restart taken over and waited for again: no
build node would ever answer it, and nothing could ask it again (trunk key
of mesh-build-node at 4e7b118e, building since 19:06; seven keys at 18:44).
At the step bound, a context's bound and no timer of its own, the builder
reads what the bus says of an ask with no step: gone from its stream, or
first in line while a node took a later ask. Such an ask is asked again
under a new id the key names, logged and said as build.asked-again, at most
three askings, then the key fails with why. The bus's max-deliveries
advisory would tell it sooner, but the builder is granted neither it nor the
workers' information, and the controller is not changed here.
builder_stuck reads every waiting key with its asks, askings and steps;
builder_ask_again writes the new reasks state, which the builder watches
and answers.
The builder took a candidate build's merge base from the module's value commit. Now that a value keeps the commit its
fingerprint first appeared at, that commit can be many merges behind the trunk, so a preview would be built onto a stale
trunk (review round 1). The base is now the head of the pull request's repository in the gate's source revision the
candidate names (Candidate.Base): the builder reads mesh-delivery-gate.source, watched with its history (a direct get of
one revision is not what a read grants), and a candidate heard before its revision is built once the revision is heard.
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 store's nightly collector deleted the bare blobs of node-tools', mesh-host's and the forge bridge's done keys, which
the controller had never taken in, and the builder kept them done: their next delivery would refuse. The builder now asks
the controller's held before it leaves a done trunk key done (once per key per process, at its start and on each module
value), claims a key whose blob is gone building as a new revision and says so in its log and the key's step, and hears
artifacts-gone, said when a take-in found a gone blob. No timer: a start, a value or an event.
The controller delivers from the builder's keys only while a running builder
says its done keys name references; a builder from before R4e says nothing,
so R4e's own delivery is asked of build-agent instead of waiting for ever.
The say is put once started and taken away when stopped.
