issue 1373 (small fix, playbook 08; the operator's choice of 2026-11-13).

A lost check whose checker names no ask could not be asked again: checker_ask_again refused, since it could not tell whether an ask waited in a build seat's stream. Milestone G's group check (feat/47-G-join11.69ffef340e92) is lost this way. Now ask-again reads the build seats' backlog through mesh-delivery-view.build_usage (one new invoke) and ends the lost verdict only when every check and recheck row shows waiting 0 and held 0, the answer carries no note, and no step of the candidate runs; otherwise it refuses, naming the stream or the note. Stricter than 'no ask of that check' (the backlog carries no ask identity), and it never runs a check twice.

Quick fix chosen; the thorough fix (the cause: a group check asked while a lone member's own ask still ran was swallowed by the one-check-per-candidate claim) is not built, noted on the issue: G rewrites that part of the checker.

Tests: rows in TestACheckWhoseAskJudgedNothingIsAskedAgainOrRead (waiting, held, unreadable, delivery-only, two recheck rows) and in TestTheToolsServedAreTheFiveReadTools (a note refuses); each fails without the change. The checker's unit and integration tests pass locally. git merge-tree --write-tree 2ab74991 63f944b5 (G's mesh-delivery #209) is clean.

checker_ask_again ends a lost check that names no ask when no check ask waits in any build seat's stream (issue 1373) b6e61fe63d

Quick fix: a running verdict whose asks state names no ask is asked again when mesh-delivery-view's build_usage backlog shows
every check stream with 0 waiting and 0 held and no unreadable row, and no step of the candidate runs; otherwise it refuses,
naming the stream that holds asks. Adds the invoke mesh-delivery-view.build_usage to the checker's manifest.
Thorough fix (not built): a group check asked while a lone member's own ask ran was swallowed by the checker's claim of one
check per candidate; noted on issue 1373.

checker_ask_again: an unread backlog and a recheck ask refuse too (issue 1373, review)

mesh/delivery merged: source.main moved to novox/mesh-delivery@7221a1e5cd7f

Details

mesh/check checking 2ab74991b856 on 7221a1e5cd7f

2ab74991b8

Principle 3: unread is never empty. build_usage's notes refuse; a waiting or held recheck ask refuses like a check ask.
