Live 2026-10-28: the own run's last pass, failing on its run's end, marked
every module of the controller-mode agent that replaced it (ace 60, shanks 63),
and the marks dropped the build and digest because the have read failed in the
bus's reload pause. Now: the refusal hook is bound to the run's agent and ctx;
a pass whose context ended returns nothing; JetStream not enabled or no
responders are tried again after 1, 2 and 4 s before any mark; NotComposed reads
the have again while the bus does not answer and marks nothing it cannot read;
baseline takes a have a composer marked as what runs, so a mark it did not make
clears; each run's shadow lives with the run.

selfComposer took a KVHistory error for 'not placed': at any restart a timeout
or a bus not ready flipped a self-composing node to the controller's
compositions for a whole run. selfcompose.Placed chooses only on a read that
succeeds (a missing placement state is one), and tries again otherwise, said
once. The shadow's answer to a head deleting the placement reads the
controller's composition at each want in the node's bucket and compares it with
what runs; a want with none refuses, without returning.
The seed's revert (mesh-catalog #526) was refused on 'would stop running node',
while a self-composing node would have refused its placement's absence, kept
what runs and marked every have failed until a restart. endWhenUnplaced ends the
agent's run when the key goes, so it begins again on the controller's
compositions, as at a start without a key; the composer refuses nothing while
unplaced; the node's have says whose compositions it applies (Composes); the
shadow answers a deleted placement Returns, verdict same.
novox refused its own composition and its answer on de-spiegel, a module it runs
folded into its own composition at a build only the controller holds. The
composer now gives frombus what the node runs (Scope.Running), so such a module
is carried as it runs. The shadow's answer names every refusal (mesh-sdk). A
templates archive read is bounded at 30 s: nothing else held an unanswered store.
H8 found it: a module the node could not compose yet got a failed have naming
no fingerprint, which counted as run inside the node's own composition, so the
next composition took it from its manifest past its build.
The node read a behind module's source manifest digest and composed every module
from the indexer's raw manifest; frombus now takes the build itself (Scope.KeptAt,
a fingerprint). The reader gives frombus the builder's key, a templates archive
fetched as every archive is (apply.Fetch) once per digest and checked against it,
and another node's served keys one by one, as the node's grant allows them.
Pins mesh-sdk 05b67831, whose compositions fold a module no new-form build
names into the node's own. The shadow composed a placed module it runs inside
its own composition (nats, photos) at the trunk's build, as if the candidate
added it; shadowBuilds now leaves those to the fold, and both paths pass
frombus.InOwn of what runs.

The share belongs to the part that enforces it: build-cpu-share, default 50,
set per node through the node's settings layer and read by the composer for
the build seats' runtimes. Pin mesh-sdk at fix/build-cpu-yields' head.
Review round 1: one quota per unit let three build modules take three shares.
The engine now writes meshyield.slice, top-level so its idle weight binds
against the operator's session, with the node's share as its CPUQuota; each
yielding unit joins it at nice 19. Comments say the IO controls bind only under
bfq or io.cost, not under the none scheduler NVMe disks use.
A build seat's runtime took 1650% of shanks' 24 processors and slowed the
operator's desktop. The unit of a process declared with yields now carries
CPUWeight=idle, IOWeight=1, Nice=19, the lowest best-effort IO level, and
CPUQuota for its share of the processors this machine has.
Merges fix/1945-adopt-hashes 1a190090. A new follower (one per link) waits for the grants part's key to catch up before
its first write, so a restart after take-over never writes the controller's list first. A refused or ended watch is
tried again on link.Backoff, the have says why it is not watched, and the key last heard, kept beside the node's state,
holds meanwhile. While the grants part's list is followed, the bus module's composition is applied with the list on the
machine in place of the controller's. The grants list is never handed to the vault. Pins mesh-sdk c2a410bb.
On the node whose compositions carry the bus's list, the engine also watches mesh-grants' key user-list.sealed. While it
says follow grants, the object it names is read by name, opened with this machine's sealing key, checked against the
key's digest and the guard, and written to the same file at 0600 only when its digest differs; the bus reloads it
itself. The have says which list is followed and this machine's sealing key, which the grants part seals to.
The follower's test waits for its watch to catch up before a later put, which raced under load. Pins mesh-sdk 175a5567.
The vault holds no value for the controller's own account, the node accounts and the enrolled devices, so it cannot
hash them, and take-over waits on their hashes. The bus node's engine is the one part that has them, in the list the
bus loaded. Its follower of the user list now puts every loaded user's bcrypt hash in the bus module's have, sealed to
the vault's own key (mesh-sdk delivery.AccountsHanded), so of every reader of the have bucket the vault alone opens
it; the clear part says only the list's digest, the key's fingerprint and how many users. The vault's key is heard from
its answer to node-key, which the engine already asks at start; a first or changed key looks at the list again. It is
sealed again only when the list on the machine or the vault's key changes; a refused list hands the list kept on the
machine. The vault takes from it only the users it holds no value for.
Also: the user list follower's test sent its later puts before the watch had handed the keys there before it, so two
of its cases failed on main whenever the goroutine started late; the feed now says when the watch began.
The list reached the bus only through a want of the bus module, which nobody writes (ADR 0539 §15): on 2026-10-25 it
stood from 11:23 to 20:50 and was put back by hand. The node agent now follows its composition bucket for the newest
signed composition carrying the user list, writes that file alone through the apply's file step when it differs
(mode 0600, read back, recorded as the module's), moves nothing that reads it (the bus module's entrypoint reloads the
server in place), never goes back to an older list, looks again after every apply of the bus module, and says source,
revision, wanted and written digests, users and any error in the bus module's have (mesh-sdk UserListWritten).
Read with mesh-delivery-view.node_haves (module nats); the bus's own nats_user_can says in_force once it reloaded.
