A binding the bus module said created that the part did not keep had no
recovery: distribution's holds, windows, mirrors and events are missing on
the bus node's memberships. grants_bindings_again, a hand act, asks the
process to read the seat mesh-broker's created, recreated and dropped of
one module again from EVENTS by sequence and keep each through HearBroker
in order, so a dropped entry stays dropped. grants_bindings shows what it
kept, and says when the stream no longer holds a created: then the seat's
list answering bindings is the path (the record extending ADR 0595 §7).
The part alone is granted the stream's message get, no consumer.

bound.<module> had no reader: a binding lost or kept but not yet written into
a membership could only be guessed from grants_membership. grants_bindings
names each kept binding and, by membership, the ones it lacks.

distribution's membership carried 4 of its 8 bindings and mesh-knowledge's 3
of 6 (issue 1966). The grants part wrote a module's kept bindings with a blind
put, so two created heard at once lost one, and acknowledged every seat event
whatever its handler answered, while the log said it would come again. The
bindings are now written at the revision read and read again once on a
conflict, and an event not applied is left unacknowledged (a delayed nak).

The grants part wrote a binding into a membership on the bus module's
created, but granted its subjects to no account but the ledger's, so
distribution's program and the tool runner carrying it were refused their
own key-value, object store and stream entries (issue 1966, ADR 0595 §1,
design 25 § 12.2). The kept bindings now reach Declared in the same pass that
writes them into the membership, and one function, boundOf, grants each to
the module's own account and the tool runner, as its old section is granted;
a process's bus.state names a key-value entry as an old state. The composed
membership carries the bindings, so grants_membership's two sides agree.

The operator, 2026-11-09 09:07: raise only. The grants part's assert raises it, says it in its asserted event and the

The markers and the values of the lists taken away before the purge still fill
the state user-list. Before its first pass the process purges every
sealed-grants key whose last operation is a delete or purge marker, and every
user's key of a list the index of kept lists does not name; never a kept
list's key nor another key of the state, and nothing when the index cannot be
read. It logs the counts and the state's bytes before and after.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfFfQ4Z9UE5jK32PmE5
A key-value delete only adds a marker: every value of the per-user keys of the
lists older than the two kept stayed in the state user-list's stream, which
reached 94% of its 64 MiB cap on 2026-11-08 (5,968 keys, 13,228 values). At the
cap the bus refuses grants' next write of the sealed list and deliveries lock.
The part now takes those keys away through a purger on the process's own
JetStream connection, a publish to the key's own subject the account already
writes on; the tools, with no purger, still delete.

With exactly one filter in FilterSubject, nats.go creates on $JS.API.CONSUMER.CREATE.<stream>.<name>.<filter>,
a subject the grants part is never granted (CreateConsumerGrants keeps filters out of grants), so the creates

Since 16:39 the running assigner cannot answer its wants page within a call's
bound, and the failed wants read held the whole user list, so no new build got
its credential. As the assignments view already does, an unanswered wants view
now composes what runs from each have's fingerprint, is said as a gap that is no
failed read, and keeps the pass to one that only adds (keepsLoaded), so the list
is held only where it would take from a loaded user.

The channel refuses a raised condition whose explanation does not open with

A running build older than the trunk lost reads it still uses (the vault's read of the assigner's placement), failing every node-engine pass. Memberships now come from the union of the have's build, the want's and the trunk's manifest.

The grants part built the node-engine's declaration with its consumes alone,
so a node's account was granted none of the engine manifest's invokes: ace's
engine could not publish mesh.seat.mesh-catalog.call.seat-definitions.node~ace,
read no seat list and composed nothing new. And its consumes of
mesh-catalog's seat-definition events were granted on the emitter's subject
only, where the engine subscribes the seat's (ADR 0636 §4).
The engine's declaration now carries its invokes and the seats it watches,
split by the same consumedOf a placed module's consumes are; the node's
account is granted the invokes as a module's are (in its own caller token
by callerNamed) and the watched events on each seat's subject by the same
watchedEvents a module's use. Its consumes stay granted on the emitter's
subjects too, so nothing granted before is taken away.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfFfQ4Z9UE5jK32PmE5
Fault: the new assigner composes a membership that drops the placement seats and adds its state view-marks. The partial pass
kept the published one whole, so the assigner's tools never got view-marks, its assignments view never answered, and the
pass never left its partial state (third bootstrap loop of the kind after #170 and #171).
Kind: the bootstrap hold freezes whole entries, so a grant needed to end the hold is never given.
Quick fix: special-case the assigner (or let additions through for it). Rejected: the next module that gains a state meets the same loop.
Thorough fix: while a pass keeps what the bus loaded, publish the union of the membership last published and the one composed
(every list, deduplicated, published entries first; the private network, contributions and bindings the pass's), published
when it differs; the pass says what it kept beyond the composed one. The user list already unions (KeepLoaded), additions pass there.

Review round 1 of issue 1966's keep-what-is-loaded fix.
- KeepLoaded intersected the denies, and the composer gives every composed user an empty
deny, so a user in force with a wide publish and a deny was sealed with no deny. The
union of every deny any list says is kept now, and Losses counts a deny dropped.
- A pass composing part of the mesh (the seat list unread, or placed by the haves) no
longer narrows a published membership: one whose published value serves, hears or gives
more than the pass composes is kept as published and said so (not_published), so a tool
runner or a seat holder goes on serving what it serves while keeping its login.

Issue 1966: the list sealed 2026-11-07 23:09, composed while the seat list was unread
(only the bootstrapped seats compose), took the node seats from the tool runners, the
vault's reads from the node-engines and the seat queues from the build modules, and left
out ledger.novox.mesh-knowledge.
- While the seat list is unread (the gate's MayAct with no seat) or a pass is placed by
the haves, each user of the loaded list and of the list in force is sealed with the
union of what the pass composes and what those lists give it (publish, subscribe,
responses; a deny only where every list saying one denies it), kept the way a refused
principal is; the users so kept are the pass's kept_loaded.
- In such a pass a list that still takes a permission from, or leaves out, a loaded user
is held (user-list-held), naming each user and how many permissions it loses.
- A held module keeps its ledger account, ledger.<node>.<module>, with its other users:
heldModuleUsers matched <node>.<module>[.<process>] only, which dropped the ledger user.

Bootstrap only (issue 1966, notes 63 and 64; the operator chose it 2026-11-07 22:19,
bending ADR 0567 §9 for the bootstrap). An assigner that serves no first views answers
no assignments, so the grants part placed nothing and wrote no grant, membership or
bucket for anything, not even for the assigner that would serve the view.
When the assignments read fails and the haves read, each module is placed on the node
whose have says it runs (any phase but removed), the bus node found among them, and what
runs composed from each have's fingerprint instead of the assigner's wants. Said as a gap
naming the fallback, and kept as Inputs.ByHaves: such a pass retires no account and deletes
no withheld hearing (ReadFailures), and seals no list that drops a user of the list in
force or of the loaded list (holdsBack). Once the view answers, the fallback is unused.
Quick fix; the thorough one stays the module-graph edge (the assigner's views before the
grants part that reads them) in the delivery plan.

mesh-sdk's state read-only (d420491c) is mapped into the grants' buckets, so the module's account and the tool
runner read it and never write it; the judge refuses a read-only state no process's bus state names, since
nothing would write it.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The bus module's spend record must not be writable by the tool runner. A state declared read-only gets read on
the module's own account and the tool runner carrying it (direct get, a watch's consumer) and no publish on its
$KV subjects; the process whose bus state names it writes it. The judge rule and the manifest field follow
with mesh-sdk's read-only.

mesh-sdk holds no go/asks, go/asker, vault answers or compose-candidate types (A1d, J1): each module now names the
operator-channel contract and client, the channel benches (mesh-sdk/go/channel), mesh-vault's contract, and node-engine's
contract and client (a1-progress.md, the A1d and J1 rewrite maps).
- assigner, teller, view: delivery.Ask.Ask and AssignerAsk.Ask are the router's ask as JSON; the refusals mesh-sdk
dropped (an id other than AskingID(key, asking), no option) are each reader's and writer's: assign.EncodeAsk/DecodeAsk
(askjson.go), the teller's routerAskOf (teller.go) and the view's routerAsk (view.go); the teller refuses an option
the asking does not offer and one whose level is not acknowledge (viewanswers.go), the two refusals ViewAnswerFits
gave. Row: subtest of TestTheHoldAskIsValid (another id, no option, no ask; each written before).
- enrolment, grants: the vault's verbs and answers from meshvault; asks' conditions from the contract and client.
- checker, assigner's judge: compose-candidate from nodeengine/nodeengineclient (nec.Own for "node").
- mesh-grants' user-lists golden: the node-engine's users now subscribe to mesh-delivery-view's settled (mesh-sdk's
NodeAgentHears, A7's ENG-8 retry).

ADR 0615 §5: a gap in revisions asks the first view once more. The indexer's verdict events carry no mark of when its
verdicts were made, so verdicts made again show only as revisions starting low, which the grants part passed over as
already held. A redelivery of a verdict the picture holds for its manifest is still passed over, so a consumer's backlog
after a restart asks nothing.
