mesh/merge-gate pass: builds mesh-host → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
A container that crash-looped after its compose applied passed every check the
gate had: nothing looked at what a module runs. The node-engine now judges every
long-running resource on every look — one read of the runtime, one per service
manager — keeps the restarts it counts across recreates and its own restarts,
and says the state in every report and as an event on change, again every minute
while not healthy. It reads only; nothing is restarted for being unhealthy.
