mesh-delivery #51's re-ask never fired for mesh-build-node.4e7b118e: messages the
SEAT_NODE_BUILD_GO workers had given up on stay on the work queue, and each counted
as waiting ahead, so the ask was never asked again (note 62). A message ahead now
waits only when no node wrote its step and no ask of its kind asked after it was
taken; the old message of an ask asked again is deleted from its stream; and
builder_seat_queue (answered by the builder through its queues state, as only its
account may read the stream) shows each message and whether it still waits.
builder_stuck, checker_kept, checker_verdicts, checker_status, checker_previews, checker_pull and checker_try listed a
bucket of thousands of keys and read each value (builder_stuck also its history) one round trip at a time before
filtering, so they timed out at 30 s. Now keys are narrowed by what the key carries first, history is read only for rows
kept, values are read sixteen at a time, at most 1000 a call with the answer saying it was cut, steps newest first, a new
try reads only the newest 64 tries, and each tool logs the values read and the time taken. Same kind as the view's fix
(PR 52); the helper is copied, not put in mesh-sdk, as a few lines do not earn a group delivery.

The open helpers were copied into seven parts; code shared between
modules lives in mesh-sdk, so they are mesh-sdk process's now and the
parts are pinned at fix/1945-optional-buckets (e0d1de04), moved to its
main once it merges, one delivery group with mesh-sdk.
Met twice on 2026-10-25: the builder of #48 exited on a refused read of
the gate's source and crash-looped, and its new reasks bucket would have
done the same. A grant reaches the bus with a delivery, so a refusal or a
timeout at start is often only a grant not there yet; exiting for it
stopped the whole part until a hand step on the bus.
Every startup open in the parts is now essential or optional. Essential
ones (a part's own state and the input it exists for) still stop the
start, with an error naming the bucket and its grant. Optional ones are
said and left: watches the bus refuses too. The builder builds trunk keys
without the gate's source, which it opens again at the next candidate
that asks a trunk head; toolchains and previews open again at their next
event, as a missing bucket did. builder_ask_again says that asking a
running step again builds it twice.
A build ask its seat's stream gave up on, dropped or ended with no step was
waited for with no end, and on restart taken over and waited for again: no
build node would ever answer it, and nothing could ask it again (trunk key
of mesh-build-node at 4e7b118e, building since 19:06; seven keys at 18:44).
At the step bound, a context's bound and no timer of its own, the builder
reads what the bus says of an ask with no step: gone from its stream, or
first in line while a node took a later ask. Such an ask is asked again
under a new id the key names, logged and said as build.asked-again, at most
three askings, then the key fails with why. The bus's max-deliveries
advisory would tell it sooner, but the builder is granted neither it nor the
workers' information, and the controller is not changed here.
builder_stuck reads every waiting key with its asks, askings and steps;
builder_ask_again writes the new reasks state, which the builder watches
and answers.

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 builder took a candidate build's merge base from the module's value commit. Now that a value keeps the commit its
fingerprint first appeared at, that commit can be many merges behind the trunk, so a preview would be built onto a stale
trunk (review round 1). The base is now the head of the pull request's repository in the gate's source revision the
candidate names (Candidate.Base): the builder reads mesh-delivery-gate.source, watched with its history (a direct get of
one revision is not what a read grants), and a candidate heard before its revision is built once the revision is heard.

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.
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.

The store's nightly collector deleted the bare blobs of node-tools', mesh-host's and the forge bridge's done keys, which
the controller had never taken in, and the builder kept them done: their next delivery would refuse. The builder now asks
the controller's held before it leaves a done trunk key done (once per key per process, at its start and on each module
value), claims a key whose blob is gone building as a new revision and says so in its log and the key's step, and hears
artifacts-gone, said when a take-in found a gone blob. No timer: a start, a value or an event.

The references come from the build modules' own pushes, so a new builder beside
an old build module writes none; saying it at start would send the controller
to keys that fail not stored.
The controller delivers from the builder's keys only while a running builder
says its done keys name references; a builder from before R4e says nothing,
so R4e's own delivery is asked of build-agent instead of waiting for ever.
The say is put once started and taken away when stopped.
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.
Moves the mesh-sdk pin to feat/r4e-sdk 9cb4d59, which accepts such a key and names delivery.WaitsFor; the builder's
package wait now uses that shared prefix (B7).
Pins mesh-sdk feat/r4e-sdk a90f523 (R4e's group member). A trunk key's builds are asked to publish; a build answering
no reference fails the key 'not stored:', and a step's own 'not stored:', 'not pinned:', 'version taken:' or
'refused kind:' opens the key's error.
