The merge-ask path goes whole with the Approve per merge: the reads of
mesh-delivery-gate.asks and mesh-delivery-view.answers, OnAsk, OnAskGone, the
gate branches of Answer and the room list, and the merge words. The teller
follows the view's answers through view_read_answers and views.answers, says
its state answers as views.answers from its state teller-marks, and serves the
read tool teller_read_answers. The room list stays for the assigner's asks
(the lead's answer). viewstate gains the names the view's own commit gives it
(the same hunk, so the two merge cleanly).

The teller hears pipeline-ended, tells each end that carries widens through the seat operator-channel's notify with every-channel,
one line per entry, and keeps the last commit said per module and watched branch in its state widens-said (read by
teller_widens_said); registration-changed drops the branches no longer watched.

mesh-delivery's sdk/firstview moved whole into mesh-sdk go/views (J3): the builder, checker, watchman, teller and view
follow each owner's state with views.ProcessReader.Follow(owner, state, tool, stream), naming the owner's read tool as
their invokes name it and its views family as the owner's manifest's `streams` names it ("indexer-views",
"assigner-views"); a refused Follow stops the start. Their beds serve the owners with viewstest.Serve and grant with
viewstest.Grants by the same names. The view's tools ask the owners' read tools by their literal names. The assigner
names its own views family and the indexer's itself (views.AssignerStream and IndexerStream are gone).
Every views.StatusTools call takes handacts.Recorder{Ask: stdio.Ask}: a first view asked again by hand is a hand act,
recorded through seat:mesh-hand-acts.hand-act, which the builder's, checker's, watchman's, teller's and view's
manifests now invoke (a row in each manifest test, each failed first).
Row (A2j's written-time switch): TestRunNeedsItsCredential "a want stood since the assigner's bus wrote it": the
watchman's want time (createdOr) is the time the owner's bus wrote the key, through ProcessReader's first view (failed
with createdOr ignoring the entry's time). sdk/go.mod: nats.go is indirect now.

ADR 0615 §1: sdk/firstview is a process's picture of an owner's state, read as the bucket it
replaces (Get, Keys, Watch; every write refused), asked through <owner>.<short>_read_<state> with
values and kept from the owner's views family; firstviewtest serves an owner in a whole-module test.
The teller declares invokes assigner_read_asks, consumes views.asks, states first-views and findings,
and the tools teller_first_views and teller_first_view_again.

mesh/check checking 17abe6af32ce on af0fd83aec09 | novox/mesh-delivery#124 in group fix/merge-ask-ends-on-merge
On 2026-10-31 two merge asks of pull requests merged by another path held two of
the router's three places for the teller and a placement ask was refused for want
of room. The gate's fix ends such asks by itself; this tool is the recovery for any
ask that still outlives its question: it cancels the open ask at the router, or
drops one waiting for room, by its router id or its key, and logs who and why. The
tools bundle asks through the teller's new state ends, as indexer_take_in does.
