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.

Dropped since the hear was removed (ADR 0625 §4); the golden user list and the grants case now hold the node user's subscriptions. The indexer's open-tries comment says it refuses an answer without the key.

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.

Its durable consumer filtered only its consumes, composed as module subjects, so the operator channel's
decided for its own asks could not be heard there (design 25 § 12.3: it wakes on the warrant).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The raise and clear of first-view-unanswered dropped a failed publish (_ = say). The binding comment
named the bus module's own stream and 30 days; the part hears the seat's events on the shared stream, 7 days.

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).
go.mod: each module requires the mesh-contracts modules it imports (and nodeengineclient, which mesh-sdk imports) at the
zero version, for the group pin.

L3 (710c4032) arrives with it. Conflicts, each kept from both sides:
- assigner module.json, manifest_test.go, main.go, tools.go, integration_test.go: A2's first-view tools,
read tools and states beside L3's assigner_engine_reads and engine-reads; the two "consumes" lists
joined into one (the indexer's views and node-engine.manifest-reads-changed).
- builder module.json and manifest_test.go: A3's tools, states, consumes and invokes beside A2g's first
views (DLV-M1); one findings state (A3's, history 5) carries both; reads keep A3o's
mesh-delivery-indexer.packages until the builder follows it (join item).
- builder cmd main.go: rebuilt from A3's with A2g's changes applied (the reader follows modules,
manifests, candidates and placement; one calls connection; one findings bucket, A3's
health.FindingsBucket; FollowPlacement on a goroutine once placement's first view is answered;
buildFromModules in place of the start's settle). Tools main.go: A3's tools then the first-view tools.
- builder run.go: A2k's out-of-step on the end entry, then A3's numbering of a done build.
- view module.json and manifest_test.go: node_manifest_reads and seat:node-engine.manifest-reads beside
A2j's first views and read tools; one invokes list.
- indexer judge rules_test.go: L3's manifest-reads verb and event, without pull-waits (J1 dropped it).
- sdk/go.mod and builder go.mod: both requires kept.

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.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The lead's ruling of 13:0x (registry milestone): mesh-broker's events are mesh.seat.mesh-broker.event.<event> on the
shared events stream like every seat's. The grants part and the watchman consume mesh-broker.<event> and no longer hear
the bus module's own stream, which is its history for its tool. The keeper's process account is composed the seat's
event subjects, and the acknowledgement of a snapshot's chunks of each entry it keeps, which ADR 0626 §1 grants and the
composition lacked; a row holds it to no subscription of a restricted stream's subjects and no consumer of one.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The next revision changes the verdicts' picture with no ask; one already held is passed over; an
event carrying no revision, past the next, or naming no manifest above the picture asks the first
view once more, said in the log. The manifest consumes the two events in place of views.verdicts.
Needs mesh-sdk 3ff694e (the events' Revision) and the indexer setting it (A2b).

A process of the bus module without keeps, or keeps on any other module, is composed nothing
of it. mesh-sdk's ProcessBus.Keeps is asked of A1 (a5-sdk-keeps.patch).

mesh-broker's verbs are all optional now and the composition grants its reading verbs to its
holder, so taking one from a membership loses no holder: the rows that prove a lost last holder
is held back name a seat the catalogue defines without verbs, claimed by the bus module beside
mesh-broker.

Each first view is asked at the start until answered, past two minutes raising
first-view-unanswered naming the owner and the tool; an empty answer at revision 0 reads as
a failed read, so the user list stays in force, and first-view-empty names the operator's
step until an answer above 0. Each owner's views event applies one change with no ask; a gap
asks once more. The reads of the five buckets leave the manifest, and the tools ask the
first views too. Tools grants_first_views and grants_first_view_again (a hand act).
The verdicts are followed on the indexer's views family (views.verdicts), not on
manifest-accepted and manifest-refused as ADR 0622 §2 words it: those carry no revision.

The keeper is asked by a person through its own state requests (CAT-N8); the acting verbs
are served by nobody on the bus and denied to every principal whose grant reaches them. The
bus module's tools bundle may read its module's own stream back (nats_history).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The seat's definition (mesh-contracts meshbroker) names local-name and storage-type and puts
the events on mesh.seat.mesh-broker.event.<event>; design 25 § 12.3 keeps them on the bus
module's own stream. Both are read until that is ruled.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
The grants are composed for the process of the module holding mesh-broker, from every
manifest's bus-state entries and the streams of the bindings kept; the writers table names
it beside the grants part as a definer of streams; the acting verbs are denied to every
principal whose grant reaches them, and neither the holder's own account nor the tool runner
serves the seat's verbs.

The part hears the bus module's own stream on its durable consumer there. That consumer did
not exist: since the controller ended (ADR 0590) nobody created a module's consumer on a
module stream it hears (AccountConsumers left them to the controller), so it is created now
with every account consumer, and a pass that created consumers wakes one more pass so the
part's own hearing opens at once. Bindings are kept per module under bound.<module>.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig
A watch of the node-engine's manifest-reads-changed subscribed the flat subject, which no engine says, so its consumer would hear nothing. mesh-sdk is pinned by a local replace to the group's head while developing.
