The indexer wrote mesh-catalog's merge 9cdac09a back over the later 69056948,
rolling kernel and mesh-build-image back on the nodes: a merged message's
commit was written whatever the held one was. Before writing or deleting a
module's value, the indexer now asks the forge whether the merge contains the
held commit, keeps the held value when it does not and says so, and leaves the
message for redelivery when the forge cannot say. Each applied merged message
is said in one line with the modules written.
No tool showed what the indexer heard of FORGE nor a modules key's history
with times, so the cause could not be proven: the indexer now records each
FORGE message it handles (sequence, deliveries, times, commit, outcome) in its
state heard, read by indexer_heard, and indexer_module_history reads
modules.<module>'s kept values with their times.
Quick fix (Src order in writeOverlay) rejected: Src is 0 once the source moved
on, as here. Thorough fix chosen: the order is the forge's, on every path that
writes a module (merged message, take-in).
One commit for the branch feat/1126-nodes-compose of mesh-delivery: its 16 commits squashed so its history does not carry the 17.8 MB compiled mesh-delivery-assigner a commit added by mistake and a later one removed (issue 1577). The tree equals the former head ff6c038d. The operator allowed this rewrite of the feature branch on 2026-10-26.
The operator's question (how much are the build nodes used, is ace eligible) took six calls over four tools.
build_usage reads it from the bus's states: seats held (have), capacity (mesh-config resolved), pauses, the
build modules' steps by kind with left-running keys, the last hour and day with total and median time and time
at capacity, the running tries, and the backlog the view program reads from the seats' streams. A try now names
the asks it put, and the checker announces its tries readable, so the view tells a try's asks from a check's.

The process watches the three buckets on its own read-only credential; the manifest declares reads only, no state and no emits; the zsh item carries the alias as mesh-cli's does.
