Since the build CPU cap (issue 1806) shanks' mesh-build-go kept capacity 3 inside a 12-core slice:
three full checks got about 4 cores each and ran past the 30-minute step bound (issue 1890).
The puller now judges by min(configured, floor(slice quota cores / cores-per-step)), the quota
read live from its cgroup, says it on change and writes capacity.<node> to the pauses state.
A run's phases (fetch and merge, digest, tests) are logged with the ask id and written to its
running step key; Asker.Wait hands every step value to a WithStepSeen hook.
Each build module parsed its own test runner's output, so a fix in one never reached the others: a failed node --test
run was worded by a passing line of its first file. buildstep.Failure names the test, its file, its cause and its own
output; ReadGoTest (moved from mesh-build-go) and ReadTAP fill it; package conformance holds every build module to it
with runner output captured with the build nodes' own toolchains.

The mirror of jschoubben/car-hunter on ace said only "git -C: error:": git writes a bare
"error:" before the forge's message, and the reason kept the first non-empty line. forgekey.Said
keeps every line that says something, leaves bare prefixes out, joins them and bounds them at
600 bytes; every git and ssh-keygen reason of buildstep and forgekey goes through it, and the
mirror's commands are named by their verb, not by -C.

Declining an ask whose probe failed would turn a truly broken toolchain into a
wait of up to the decline bound that then fails with an empty "needs a node
with" reason. With the node-engine no longer deleting a running build and
commands started in a directory that exists, the getwd cause is gone, so the
guard's refusal stays as it was. The decline refactor goes with it.
Since the grants part creates a manifest's buckets after a delivery (ADR 0547), a module restarted by that
delivery can open a new state before it exists; OptionalBucket answered nil and the part never looked again
(mesh-delivery's checker and builder, state hearing, 2026-10-26). AwaitBucket binds on the server's
STREAM.CREATED advisory, or at the next use, and writes the latest value kept per key. The copied composer's
agreement test leaves that one row out: the controller's list is no longer loaded since the take-over.
A build module runs in the directory its build was unpacked in. When the
node-engine replaced that build, every command the module started inherited a
deleted working directory, and the toolchain probe's failure became a final
refusal of the check that asked it (three checks on ace on 2026-10-26).
forgekey: ExecRunnerClean starts its command in the HOME it is given, or the
temporary directory; the other runners keep the process's directory while it
exists and use the temporary directory once it is gone.
buildstep: a guard whose probe failed answers a Refusal with Again set; the
puller declines such an ask (delivery.StepDeclined) so its asker puts it again
for another node or a later pull, instead of ending it refused. A version
mismatch stays a refusal.
The second half of ADR 0553, merged only once the node-engine that decodes
yields runs on every node (§5). The share is the node-engine's own config as
the node's layers give it; each step divides it by its own module's capacity.
A share out of range bounds builds at the default and never refuses the
node's composition. A change of the share recomposes the build runtimes, which
restart once.
Review round 2: change A must not slow builds before any slice exists, so a
module given no share sets no GOMAXPROCS. The slice's quota bounds the total;
threads only size one step, from the node's share over the module's own
capacity (shanks: 24 x 50% / 3 = 4). The share is the node-engine's own config.
Review round 1: the decoder type ships before any composer can emit it, so a
routine SDK bump never sends yields to an engine that refuses them; the
composer half moves to a later change. Every yielding process of a node goes
into one top-level slice, meshyield.slice, so the three build modules share one
quota instead of taking one each; the share is one node value, node-tools'
build-cpu-share, and each step's threads divide it by every build slot of the
node (words from the composer, a conservative fallback without them).
