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).

A process's bus.state, a seat contribution and a seat's records naming a
key-value entry asked in requires were refused, where the old state section
is accepted (issue 1966, ADR 0595 §11). They now read catalogue.KeptStates.
A per-machine key-value entry in requires is refused with its reason: its
binding names no machine's key, so no machine could be held to its own.

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.

holdLost builds a pending take-in naming neither WaitsFor nor Unknown, which TakeIn's check refused, so the hold stayed
in the journal and the watchman never saw it.
Quick fix: set Unknown on holdLost's event. Thorough fix (chosen): the check accepts a pending revision that names Lost,
the field made for it; one naming nothing is still refused. Tests: a row accepting Lost, the refusal row kept, and the
lost-hold scenario encodes its said event.

Thorough fix (chosen): loadNewest asks takenAlready (already used for group members) before loading the newest merge of

cannot be asked is read as before. Test: a row pair behind/ahead of taken with a bridge that cannot answer.

Both ForgeMade and Tags took the tool's wrapper for the pull request / the tag list, so every forge-made merge read
"#0 is not merged" and bridge_tags failed, leaving builds unnumbered.
Quick fix: unwrap "result" in forgeAPI (the one Go reader of gitea_api).
Thorough fix (chosen, the kind was met twice and hid behind a drifted fake): bridge.API answers what the tool answers,
forgeBody is the one reader of that shape and refuses an answer without a result, naming it; ForgeMade refuses number
0 as "no pull request"; the unit fakes answer the tool's real wrapped shape, with rows for the bare body.

Neither runtime of the assigner gave catalogue a seat list, so propose judged
every mesh seat as held once (mesh-dns-resolver, replicated, refused every
proposal) and seat-holders marked every seat outside the list. Both now follow
the list as the grants part does (ADR 0636 §1, §4, §7): a proposal laid again
is not ended and seat-holders is not written until the list is read, and the
two seat list tools read and read it again.

A mesh seat held on two nodes was refused as held once whenever catalogue did

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.

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.

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 second instance of the kind: checker_status and checker_pull read the indexer's
candidates and modules from its bus state, which the checker's manifest does not
declare under reads, so the runtime refuses them ("keeps and reads no state
mesh-delivery-indexer.candidates"). They now ask indexer_read_candidates and
indexer_read_modules, the indexer's read tools the manifest already invokes: the
keys with no argument, one key's value with key (ADR 0596). The assigner's put
read its newest fingerprint from the same refused state and now asks the
indexer's first view of modules, as the seat verbs do. A sweep of every module
finds no other read of another module's state that its manifest does not declare;
the checker's tools carry a test that refuses one.

mesh-module-assigner.propose and mesh-wants' upgrade and bus read the indexer's

since those reads moved to the indexer's first-view tools (ADR 0615 §1, ADR 0621):
"mesh-delivery-assigner keeps and reads no state called mesh-delivery-indexer.modules".
Another module's data is asked through its tools, never read from its state
(ADR 0596). The verbs now ask mesh-delivery-indexer.modules and .manifests through
the tool runner, every page, at each call; the manifest already invokes both and
the indexer answers them to the assigner.

The comparison is by maps.Equal now, and write itself skips an answer whose bytes are the
bytes held, for every caller and every state it writes; the merge's written list counts only
real writes.

Every reader of the seat list holds the bootstrapped seats from its start
(ADR 0636 §2), so a manifest naming one is read by every node-engine
whatever its statement names. graph.MissingReads, in the Delivery domain's
SDK, is the one rule both holds judge with; mesh-sdk is not changed.
ace's engine states no seat, so the want of the node-engine's own build
0bd8cbad (needing mesh-catalog) and of restic (needing node-backup) were
held on ace: the engine that would state them could not be delivered. The
indexer's hold judges only mesh-wide reads today, so its verdicts do not
change; it takes the rule so the two stay one.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfFfQ4Z9UE5jK32PmE5
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.

The review of 0f5c186b: counting each record's packages made 94 sub-package
paths, commands among them, known names, which design 32 forbids; the seven
names refused live are each their record's module (issue 1966).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfFfQ4Z9UE5jK32PmE5
The indexer's judge refused manifests whose `packages` name a Go package that no
manifest declares as a package artifact: such a package has no series key, and
knownPackages took series keys only, though each module the trunk published has
a per-module record in the packages state naming its Go module and packages.
knownPackages (and the checker's PackageNames) now also count each record's
module and packages[].package; an unreadable state still judges no name.
Quick vs thorough: this is the quick fix, the smallest change that lets the
trunk's own records name what the manifests name. The thorough fix is that a
build module builds Go package artifacts, so every Go package gets a series
(the registry milestone); then the records stop being a source of names. Done
now because the 15 refused manifests hold the bootstrap of the registry delivery.
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.
