The watchman held a node a control node, urgent after half an hour
silent, while its have named mesh-controller; the controller ended by
its unassignment (ADR 0590), so no node was one any more and the bus
node's silence stayed a warning. The control node is now the node whose
have holds the bus module, nats, which the watchman already hears by
that name.

ADR 0590 supersedes the lease write: mesh-grants says no lease event any
more, so the watchman's lease-altered and removal-failed findings and
their row had nothing to hear. The ended controller's consumers are
removed as hand acts, so their deletion is no consumer lost; only the
one on DEAD_LETTER_NOTICES is still read, since its removal hands the
notices to the watchman. The builder hears artifacts-gone from the
artifact sweep seat alone, and mesh-enrolment's tokens no longer report
an issuing gate that nothing can turn off.

The controller ended by its unassignment, so its lease key is absent for
good and mesh-sdk reads that as not handed away: mesh-enrolment's issue
stayed off and the watchman never took DEAD_LETTER_NOTICES, whose notices
age out after a week. Both now act without reading the lease; the
watchman still waits, and says so, while the controller's consumer on the
notices stands. Neither manifest reads the lease any more.

- redeem writes the node into placement before it asks the vault for the account and the certificate of the serving key
presented (the vault reads the node's address from placement); a retry by the same keys still finishes (blocker 3).
- loadedVia reads mesh-grants.user-list's pass as the part's whole Result, the list state under user_list; the fixture
testdata/grants-pass.json was written by mesh-grants' own Result, not by hand (blocker 4).
- enrolment-expired is delivery.EnrolmentExpiry with IssuedID, through its codec; a key that expired before its content was
seen names no issued event, so nothing is said and its token is dropped at once (blocker 6).
- issue builds the joining node's first tunnel from placement (the hub, its endpoint, the node's address) and the hub's
record (its tunnel key) and passes it to enrolment-token; no hub, or a hub with no key or endpoint, is a finding of issue
(ADR 0587 §3, insight of 2026-11-02).
- The assigner takes an add-node only from mesh-enrolment's own bus user (stdio.Callers), never person.mesh-enrolment.
- The watchman raises machine.<node>.node-account-fallback from a node's health report's fall back and clears it when the
report no longer carries one (ADR 0583 §6, blocker 7).
- mesh-enrolment's ten unit test functions are two table tests now (blocker 8): the repository is back at 816.

ADR 0582 clauses 4 and 6: mesh-grants says lease-altered and removal-failed "as a finding the watchman raises".
The watchman hears the seat mesh-grants' three events on core subjects (mesh-sdk WatchmanHears, its grant and
its subscriptions from one list, rather than a consume and a durable consumer), raises lease-altered naming
what changed and clears it at the next lease-handed, and raises removal-failed naming what failed and clears it
once what it names reads gone: the controller's consumer of DEAD_LETTER_NOTICES by its deletion advisory
(heard already), the stream ASSIGNMENTS by its own. The finding DEAD_LETTER_NOTICES.controller stays as it is.
Test: a row in TestTheWatchmansFindings; no new function.

Issue 1585: the indexer keeps an accepted manifest accepted when a stricter judge re-judges it, its problems as
warnings carried in its value; a merge's new manifests are judged in full. The watchman raises manifest-outgrown as
a warning until mended. The checker fails only on a manifest the change adds or changes and names the rest as
warnings. Every module pins mesh-sdk 19c2042.

Issue 1585, S10: the watchman watches the indexer's modules and finds manifest-refused for a module whose value
carries a refusal, ending it once accepted. Its mesh-sdk pin moves to the group head, so it takes health.Finding's
Ref (issue 1952 renamed Token).

At a restart a standing finding is observed again by the replayed failed have: kept, not confirmed again, and its urgent
signal runs on from the finding's Since; an urgent one stays urgent with no signal restarted.
Quick: skip the confirm when a finding stands. Thorough, chosen: the same, plus urgency read from the finding itself.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfJ9Gum47zkFKWRaovL
A have that turned failed once and stayed unchanged was written once, so the old count of two writes never fired and the
finding was never written (fail2ban on novox). Confirm by time, with a signal, also at a restart.
Quick: raise the count to one write (loses the confirmation). Thorough, chosen: confirm by a time bound, as ADR 0564 s4's
signals are keys that expire, so no write count is needed.

A key that ages out of its bucket (the build seats' asks pass the stream's 168 h) leaves no marker a watch hears,
and one deleted while the watchman was down is not heard either: its stuck key stood unmoved for ever, and 26
stuck-key conditions of asks from 2026-10-21 were open on 10-30.
Quick fix: mark stuck keys older than the stream's maximum age moved.
Thorough fix, chosen because it covers every bucket the watchman mirrors and any way a key goes: at the start's
end, a stuck key not moved whose bucket was read whole at this start (each build seat's steps, the assigner's
wants) and whose key was not read standing is written moved, which clears its finding, and the closing is said
in the log. A bucket that could not be read closes nothing. A key that ages out while the watchman runs is
closed at its next start: a KV age-out emits no event, and no timer is added.
S1 is urgent after half an hour for a control node (the node running mesh-controller). S9 also hears the bus module's
slow consumers and closed connections, each closure counted once. S21 is one finding per heard machine from its failed
haves and its provisioner clients' reports (PROV_APPLIED). DEAD_LETTERS is counted again at a letter's age and every
five minutes while letters are held, on the watchman's own pulse. needs-operator waits for L6: its inputs are not on the
bus. Pins mesh-sdk b6ef01d.
The signals rows S1, S8, S9, S10, S11, S21 and the haves' unhealthy and needs-operator are pulses whose expiry is a finding;
stuck keys and presence are its own findings; it keeps the dead letters from the lease write on its own consumer, lists and
shows them, and refuses deliver and drop until the hand-act log's home (issue 1953). Tools read every state it keeps and
start resync. Pins mesh-sdk 2a04bf0.
