Off the control-node an ask of compose-candidate ran into its 60 s bound: each of
its two compositions read every manifest in the mesh one key at a time over the
bus, on scratch copies of the shadow that kept nothing, so each ask read them all
twice again (about 35 s per composition on ace, g14 and shanks; 2 s on novox).
The answer at 60 s then came after the bus's one-minute reply window
(allow_responses ttl), so the bus refused it and the checker heard nothing.
Now the manifests are read eight at a time into the shadow before either
composition, a scratch copy keeps what never changes (manifest, archive, done
build) in the shadow too, the candidate is laid over a copy taken after the
composition without it, and the engine answers within 50 s: unready, naming what
it waits on, when not done. Every answer is said in one journal line with its
reads and its longest wait.
Issue 1126.
