mesh-catalog #553's verdict stayed running after its step passed on shanks
at 19:09:31Z on 2026-10-28: the watch of that one step key, opened at
18:46:05Z, heard neither the start nor the end and never closed. HeardEnds
stands between Asker and each ask's watch: nudged at each step end of the
same build module (HearEnds: one watch per steps state) and at a reconnect,
every waited ask reads its keys now; a watch that closes is opened again, at
most 3 times. The checker and the builder both wait through it.
Tests: a section of the asker's test (deaf, nudged by another module and by
its own, a watch that closes); counts unchanged.

The applying path (frombus.Compose) composed with no culprit, so one module's
refusal came back as the whole node's: novox's apply would have refused all its
modules for de-spiegel's unset route names. composeEach is now the one rule
Compose and Answer both follow:
- a module whose stub changes the refusal is held (compose.Node.Held); in the
applying path a stand-in for a module placed here holds that module; only a
refusal of no single module refuses the node;
- a held module is composed from what runs of it (compose.Carried of its own
composition in Running) and carried in the node's own wherever that runs it,
folded or leaving the fold, so the node's own apply never removes it (issue
1945 by a new path) and what the others read of it is what runs;
- none of a held module's own composition is in what is applied;
- a module whose composition differs when the held ones are composed as stubs
is held too; the node's own differing refuses the node;
- since a held module is composed from its new manifest, what reads that
manifest is held with it: the providers of what it contributes to (the
proxy its routes) and, when it listens, the filter's holder.
Quick fix weighed: a culprit loop in Compose alone. Thorough, chosen: one
shared function, since the kind met twice (seed-8 shadow, now the apply), and
review rounds 1 and 2 found its leaks.

A node whose module proves a need of the machine missing (ace's /dev/net/tun, 2026-10-28) pulled
image asks and failed each one; judged ineligible, its capacity is 0 with the reason, as build hours
are, so the asks go to a node that can build them (issue 1126 note).

delivery.OwnNeedName reads <module>.needs-<name> and the bare needs-<name>; OwnValuesDiffer and the node agent use it.
The fixtures carry the id shape captured from novox's shadow answer.
delivery.OwnValuesDiffer, ValuesDiffer and WithValuesDiffer read the shown bodies masked as another value; a candidate
answer carries values_differ. The node agent hands the vault those own secrets' running values through move-in's
replace_running, so no seat verb and no bus grant changes here.
Seals are reused and compared by slot (resource, field), never across resources;
one rule says which resolved config values are laid; a seat path that steps back
is owned by the seat it steps back for, whatever the seat order; a folded module
of an old-form build is composed from what runs of it; the operator export's file
is carried as it runs; a differing resource names its differing JSON paths, found
before its bodies are cut, and an answer is fitted to the node's key.

ace and g14 answered 'nothing in this mesh provides artifact-store … assign
distribution to a node' while novox runs it: a module another node cannot run
in this composition (catalogue Resolution.Unhostable) offers nothing, silently.
The refusal now names each such module and what it lacks, and each node left
out. And the culprit search composed the whole mesh once per placed module for a
refusal no stub changes (ace's answer took 7m46s): only the modules the refusal
names are tried, at most 8.
