The operator, 2026-11-04: logic one module owns lives inside that module as a package of its own, so the take-in step
changes no mesh-sdk. TakeIn, its keys and event names, PendingWait and PendingAnswer move to
modules/mesh-delivery-indexer/takein (its merges a takein.Merge of its own); Forge whole, with its group fields,
ForgeGroupEnd and GroupMerge, moves to modules/mesh-delivery-forge-bridge/forgemsg. Both are nested Go modules that their
readers take by replace, as buildrun is. Every importer moves in this commit: the indexer, the bridge, the watchman and
the view. Forge's private checks (the repository name, the version) are copied small; mesh-sdk main still holds an unused
Forge until its own fold removes it.
The indexer, bridge, watchman, view and checker pin mesh-sdk 5a38a12 (origin/main), no feat/take-in commit.
The bridge's integration bus now grants the state end-asks that bridge_group_end_again added: without it every test of
the package failed on a permissions violation. Test budget: two new test functions (TestForge, TestTakeInEvents) and the
two the join added are paid by merging four pairs in internal/bridge; the repository stays at 806 unit tests.

Module.Needs is catalogue.ManifestNeeds of the manifest held: written by the merge that takes a changed manifest in, so
no reader takes it as needing nothing before the judge's pass, named again by the judge with the verdict, and carried
over by a write that leaves the digest, as the verdict is. The module value is the one the assigner and the checker
already read.

dropRemoved hands the module over from the other trunk, read from the forge at the head the source names, so no wait in memory is needed. indexer_take_in with a repository takes in a head with no module.json as a merge that leaves none, and answers by name for a head with modules.
The forge bridge wrote no merged message for such a merge, so taken.<repo> never moved
and the view held 'the indexer has not yet taken in <head>' (hq #490-#492). The bridge
now writes it with no trees; the indexer drops every module of the repository on it,
after the same order check as any merged message. The view needed no change: with the
taken key moving it reaches the merge, which its new row proves.
Needs mesh-sdk fix/1126-no-module-reach (a merged message may carry no trees).
route-proxy leaves the controller's repository, which is archived, and nothing registered a move since the controller
went: the indexer left a module named by another repository's merge as it was, forever. Now that merge waits, and the
holding repository's merge that drops the module hands it over in place, so its key never goes missing between the two;
merged the other way round, the key is deleted and written new. A trunk that still holds the module keeps it (ADR 0420
clause 7, ADR 0501 clause 3).

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 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).
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.
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.
mesh/merge-gate head 3c655c5ab449 merged into trunk 6a23627426c6 — pass: group fix/1281-outcome-is-a-build composed: every machine composes with the change…
