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.

The build module on main sends a timeout, exit or kill as only 'FAIL <pkg>':
dropping summary lines left empty words. They now say the package failed with
no cause sent. Causes match at column 0 only, summary lines only in go's exact
forms, and the words count the cause, the marker and the newlines within
MaxWords.
An older build module's output for a race after the tests' PASS is now worded
by the race's heading, access and frame, not by go test's PASS or the report's
separator line (1901/AC5).
A try of mesh-controller's status read 'cmd/mesh-controller: PASS': the build
module sent a package failure whose output began with go test's PASS. The
checker now drops go test's summary lines, takes the first panic, fatal error
or signal line as the cause when the build module told none apart (read before
the words are cut), says the tests passed and the program failed after them
when nothing else is left, and cuts a cause to 1 KB so the words keep their
bound (1901/AC5).
The assigner reads mesh-controller.builds again (the composer's runningCommits reads the build record of every open
assignment), puts its compose asks on node-build-go and says its conditions on operator-channel.
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.

A new pull request waited 25 to 45 minutes behind every open pull request's re-judge after a
merge. The semaphore becomes a ranked admission (ADR 0536 §4); checker_status names the
waiting checks by kind.

The checker's own places are released when a step ends or its wait passes the step bound; checker_status read every
'running' key in the build modules' steps buckets as a step in flight, so keys left by stopped, restarted or unassigned
build modules looked like full nodes. It now lists them under left_running with why (past the bound, module not on the
node, module not running), and leaves hq-only groups out of the unjudged candidates.
R4e round 2 finding R2-1, ADR 0521: the forge module writes mesh/check from
the checker's owed state, read by a watch, because no event order between the
forge bridge and the forge module is kept by the delivery plan. A reader is
granted from the owner's announcement (ADR 0495 §2-§3), and the checker
announced nothing. It now says every state it keeps, with owed, previews and
verdicts readable: the forge module and the bridge read owed, the indexer
previews, the gate verdicts.
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.
