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.
