The check of 2026-11-02 22:35 on a loaded shanks failed two buildrun tests on wall-clock bounds of 60 ms, the
second failure of this kind tonight (the first: mesh-sdk's busretry tests, f02f142).
Quick fix: give the two buildrun asker tests bounds of seconds.
Thorough fix (chosen, because the kind recurs across every module of the repository): every test that raced a
wall clock now waits on an event, steps a clock it is given, or has a bound only a failing test reaches.
- buildrun asker tests: the steps' own times stand for the clock (bound an hour, starts and phases written in the
past), no goroutine paces phases with sleeps.
- builder: the decline bound reads Builder.Now; the decline test steps it; the stream-wait test waits for five
check reads instead of 100 ms.
- checker: the lost-ask try bounds an untaken ask at 200 ms only where that is what ends it; the program says when a
merge turn changes, and the integration test waits on that line instead of 300 ms.
- teller: the bed makes the teller's own ends bucket (a 10 s stall at start the tests raced by 0.5 s), waits for its
warrant subscription instead of 500 ms pauses, and the package-level now is restored with t.Cleanup.
- watchman: the recount, run in its own goroutine, is waited for instead of 10 ms.
- polls of 2-5 s become 10 s (unit) and 20 s (integration).
Under a throttled cgroup (half a core shared with two busy loops) beside the node-engine's suite, the buildrun
tests failed 5 of 20 runs before and passed 30 of 30 after; no test added.

The composer command moved to the node-engine (ADR 0593 §7); a catalogue check had only mesh-sdk beside it. Pin the build runner to the catalogue head whose composer test skips aloud until then.

Review finding 5: the repository's unit tests rose from 810 to 814 (over the 500 budget); eleven test
functions of buildrun become two, so the count is 805.

The named tree is the indexer's computation (ADR 0593 §2): the builder reads it
from the module's value, so its test gives one as the indexer would write it.

mesh-delivery is over its budget (810 unit, 73 integration on main), so this
branch adds none net: its new cases are subtests, the three work-queue process
tests and the consumes test become one, the history stream bounds join the
stream values table, and the go/-only mesh-sdk merge check joins the one new
integration test. buildrun's 20 unit and 1 integration tests moved in from
mesh-sdk with it.

The pulling code leaves mesh-sdk for mesh-build-go's own package (ADR 0593 §1),
so the bed imports it by its published version and tests the builder against
the real runner, not an imitation. The required version is a placeholder at
mesh-catalog 9c57f7af: the group pins the catalogue's head before its push.

The build runner leaves mesh-sdk for mesh-build-go (ADR 0593 §1), another
repository the builder does not import; the tests answer asks as the builder
needs them answered.

buildrun leaves mesh-sdk for the builder's own Go module (ADR 0593 §1); the
checker, assigner, indexer and watchman require it by a replace to the sibling
directory. Issue 1930's bound was already on mesh-sdk's main and moves with it.
The builder copies the imports a build module answers to the done key and the
log's end entry, where the indexer keeps them (§2; D7).

ADR 0590 supersedes the lease write: mesh-grants says no lease event any
more, so the watchman's lease-altered and removal-failed findings and
their row had nothing to hear. The ended controller's consumers are
removed as hand acts, so their deletion is no consumer lost; only the
one on DEAD_LETTER_NOTICES is still read, since its removal hands the
notices to the watchman. The builder hears artifacts-gone from the
artifact sweep seat alone, and mesh-enrolment's tokens no longer report
an issuing gate that nothing can turn off.

The holder's code over a real nats-server bucket with a time to live per key: issue, the operator's yes, redeem as enrol.ace,
the node confirming as the login its key of node-logins names (the stand-in vault writes it at node-account), node-enrolled
and placement-changed said on their subjects, the user enrol.ace composed while the key is live and gone with it, the token
dropped only after the end; and a token never redeemed expires on the bus, is heard, says enrolment-expired and is dropped.
Found by it: a bucket with a time to live per key must keep one revision per key, or the bus expires nothing (nats-server
2.11.17), so the state enrolments declares no history. Paid for: the integration test is paid by merging the builder's
archive-only and root-module integration tests into one table test; the module's ten unit tests by merging the assigner's
three small composition tests into one table (net 2 of 10 paid; the rest is for the lead, the repository being over budget).

A check ask named no toolchain, so a node on the minority version could run it and KeepPasses record the pass as run on the agreed one. The check ask now carries the agreed toolchain and a node off it declines (mesh-sdk), for the checker's decline loop to put again. Pins the builder, indexer and checker.
Known limit: the checker puts a declined check ask again at once, with no pause; the declining puller skips that kind until its next pull wait, which paces a lone minority node.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfJ9Gum47zkFKWRaovL
A build node off the agreed toolchain declines the ask and, idle, takes the ask put again at once, so three declines used the three askings and failed the build. A decline now uses no asking: the ask is put again after a short pause, and past a bound from the first decline the key fails naming the declining nodes and their reasons. A person reads which node sits out in the key's step text, which the view's builder_builds answers as stored.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfJ9Gum47zkFKWRaovL
One build node on another version refused every build of the language. The builder and the checker now follow mesh-sdk's majority agreement; the key's step names a node that sits out ("ace sits out: typescript 26.12.1, agreed 26.13.0"), and a build ask a minority node declined is put again for a node on the agreed version. Check steps compare no toolchain, so clause 2 already holds for them. Pins builder, indexer and checker to mesh-sdk 71be15f.

Issue 1585, R1: fresh holds the digests a take-in newly wrote (a new module, a changed manifest); a registered or
taken-in module is judged too; a start pass that fails is judged again at the next message heard, no timer.
R2: a module's verdict, problems and warnings are carried while its digest stands and are no part of the compare.
R3: the checker judges the trunk beside the change and fails on every problem the change case adds, an untouched
manifest's included. R4: the judge reads the indexer's kept predefined keys, or the catalogue member's when it
changes them. A log line names a package no held module publishes. Every module pins mesh-sdk 62cddf4.

Issue 1585: the indexer keeps an accepted manifest accepted when a stricter judge re-judges it, its problems as
warnings carried in its value; a merge's new manifests are judged in full. The watchman raises manifest-outgrown as
a warning until mended. The checker fails only on a manifest the change adds or changes and names the rest as
warnings. Every module pins mesh-sdk 19c2042.

ADR 0573 §2: a module builds against the latest published version of
each mesh package it uses, and a package's trunk merge moves every
dependent (issue 1585, S13). The bridge reads the packages each go.sum
names, the indexer keeps them and takes each one's trunk merge into the
fingerprint, a candidate takes a group member's head instead, and the
builder's ask carries the versions so the build module writes them.

The holder writes a node's changed module keys, then its node key as the commit by compare-and-set at
the revision the proposal was laid over, then the placement.<node> mirror for readers not yet delivered.
Every reader assembles through mesh-sdk's PlacementKeys, which reads both forms.
The assigner added "why" to every assign, unassign, pin and unpin since 2026-10-28; the controller's seat contract
takes no such argument, so it refused each one and did nothing. No approved placement reached the controller's
assignments, no bus account was minted for a newly placed module, and the refusal was only a journal line.
Quick fix: drop "why" from ControllerCalls. Thorough fix: a contract test that every argument ControllerCalls gives,
for every verb, is declared (and every required one given) in catalogue.ControllerVerbs, plus an urgent condition per
pair whose call was refused (verb, node, module, the controller's words), cleared when a later call is answered or the
two sources agree. Chosen: both here; a caller-side check of arguments against the seat's contract for every seat
call belongs in mesh-sdk and is noted for the lead. The warrant stays in the assigner's own record (placement-changed,
the hand-act log).
Every module pins mesh-sdk eff81f1220e2 (in review).
Recovery of photos and link2pay on novox, 2026-10-29: their composition and grant were lost and no tool wrote a done key again.
Quick fix: rewrite the done key unchanged as a new revision. Thorough fix: ADR 0547, the node agent composes its own and the
assigner stops waiting on controller compositions (design 47).
