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)
mesh/repo-check fail: its merge-check.sh failed: --- FAIL: TestHomesAreAPersonsOrAnAgentsNotAServicesOrRoots (0.00s)
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
The search kept a two-minute limit of its own inside its 15-minute bound, so a long walk always ended incomplete; pacman was asked once per path; and find exiting with an error but some output was read as a complete walk. The bound and the not-judged reasons move to the public rootsearch package so the controller reads the same values (the review of 2026-10-09).
