A pull request's candidate is judged before its merge and its verdict written, said nowhere. At the merge the
digest becomes the module's trunk manifest, but the merge's judging pass finds the same verdict, writes nothing
and so said nothing: the bus module never heard the new manifest, and the grants part, which follows the
verdicts on manifest-accepted, held the module as having no verdict and wrote no grant for its new fingerprint
(claude-licence-manager, three times on 2026-11-12). The merge's pass now says a fresh trunk manifest's accepted
verdict from the verdict held, with its revision.
Builds: design 25 bus-state §1, §12.2 (the indexer says manifest-accepted for every newly accepted manifest; the
grants part follows the verdicts on it)
Builds: design 25 bus-state L1 (hq ff30ac16, the lead's answer: a merged candidate's manifest is newly accepted).
