A runtime that already dropped a carried module's tools serves them again, read from what runs and its build (issue 1126, review)

rev-held2: ToolsRunning took a carried module's bundles from the runtime's MESH_TOOL_MODULES alone, and shanks had
already applied the drop of systemd-resolved, so its runs stayed empty and the drop permanent. Now every bundle
archive that runs at its module's BundlePath is a running bundle; one the runtime loads nothing of takes its loads and
words from the module's build (its built bundles, else its build's artifacts, by catalogue.BundleLoads, the rule a
build's resolution keeps, now one function). The runtime process and each archive are matched by their owning module
too, not only by id and path. A row added: the runtime already dropped it.

+# The conformance kit's captured runner output
+
+Every file here is the real output of a test runner, never written by hand (issue 1901: a fixture that agrees with the
+mistake proves the mistake). The toolchains are the build nodes' own, as `mesh-build-go.build_go_toolchains` and
+`mesh-build-node.build_node_toolchains` reported them on 2026-10-26: go1.27.3-X:nodwarf5 on every build node, node
+v26.12.1 (npm 12.2.1) on shanks, novox and g14, and typescript 5.9.3 from mesh-build-node's toolchain/package.json.
+To capture a case again, make its tiny project in a fresh directory as below and run the command shown; the kit's case
+table (conformance.go) says what each failure must say.
+
+## go/ — `go test -json`
+
+- `passfirst.jsonl` and `subtests.jsonl` (2026-10-26, go1.27.3-X:nodwarf5, for issue 1901's thorough fix): in
+  `/tmp/1901k/go/<case>`, `GOTOOLCHAIN=local GOFLAGS=-mod=mod go test -json -count=1 ./... > ../<case>.jsonl 2>&1`.
+  - passfirst: module `example.com/passfirst`, `go 1.26`. Package `a` has `TestTheFirstPackagePasses` (empty). Package `b`
+    has `TestTheSecondPackagePassesFirst` (empty) and `TestTheSecondPackageFails`, which calls
+    `t.Logf("judged against the seat as it stands")` then `t.Fatalf("the seat has 2 holders, want 1")`: a passing package
+    and a passing test before the failing one.
+  - subtests: module `example.com/subtests`; `TestTheTable` runs `t.Run("passes", func(t *testing.T) {})` and
+    `t.Run("fails", func(t *testing.T) { t.Errorf("got 3 machines, want 4") })`: the parent fails only by its subtest.
+- `subpanic.jsonl` (2026-10-26, go1.27.3-X:nodwarf5, review round 1 of issue 1901's fix), the same way: module
+  `example.com/subpanic`; `TestTable` runs `t.Run("passes", func(t *testing.T) {})` and `t.Run("panics", ...)`, which
+  writes to a nil map. go test -json files the subtest's panic under the parent `TestTable`.
+- `logthenfatal.jsonl`, `panicking`, `timeout`, `deeptimeout`, `buildfail`, `exiting`, `killed`, `passthenfail`,
+  `mainexit`, `race`, `racemain` were captured for issue 1901's first and third meetings (2026-10-23 and 2026-10-25,
+  go1.27.3) in mesh-catalog's mesh-build-go (`testdata/captured/go-test-json-*.jsonl`, named there `go-test-json-pkg-<case>`
+  and `go-test-json-log-then-fatal`) and moved here unchanged. From that README: each is the standard output and error of
+  `go test -json -count=1 ./...` (the timeouts with `-timeout 2s`; race and racemain with `-race`, CGO_ENABLED=1) in a
+  throwaway one-file module that fails without a test's own assertion: panicking (a nil map write in TestPanics), timeout
+  (TestWaitsForever sleeps past the timeout), deeptimeout (two parallel tests and sixty blocked goroutines past the
+  timeout, so the goroutine dump pushes the panic line out of the last 4 KB), buildfail (a type error in a test file),
+  exiting (os.Exit(3) in TestExits), killed (TestKilled sends itself SIGKILL), passthenfail (TestMain panics in a
+  goroutine after m.Run passed), mainexit (TestMain exits 2 after m.Run passed: go test prints "PASS" and then
+  "FAIL <pkg>"), race (TestRacesOnTheSeat writes a package variable from itself and a goroutine), racemain (TestMain does
+  so after m.Run passed). logthenfatal is a test `TestThree` in package `x` that logs a line with t.Logf and then fails
+  with a multi-line t.Fatalf naming three subscriptions.
+
+## node/ — `npm test` running `node --test` under the TAP reporter
+
+Captured 2026-10-26 with node v26.12.1 and npm 12.2.1 (`/usr/bin/node`, `/usr/bin/npm`), in `/tmp/1901k/node/<case>`, the
+way mesh-build-node runs a test script:
+
+    PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH NODE_OPTIONS="--test-reporter=tap --test-reporter-destination=/tmp/1901k/node/<case>.tap" \
+      npm test > ../<case>.stdout 2> ../<case>.stderr
+
+`<case>.tap` is the report file, `<case>.console` the stdout followed by the stderr. Each project's package.json is
+`{"name":"<case>","private":true,"type":"module","scripts":{"test":"node --test --experimental-strip-types 'test/*.test.ts'"}}`
+(the script every TypeScript package of the catalogue and the SDK runs), with these test files:
+
+- two-files: `test/a.test.ts` holds `test('passes in the first file', () => {})`; `test/b.test.ts` holds
+  `test('passes in the second file first', () => {})` and `test('fails in the second file', ...)`, which logs
+  `judged against the seat as it stands` and asserts `assert.strictEqual(1 + 1, 3, 'one plus one is not three')`.
+- suite: `test/a.test.ts` has `describe('the seat', ...)` with `it('passes inside', () => {})` and `it('fails inside', ...)`
+  asserting `assert.deepStrictEqual({ holders: 2 }, { holders: 1 })`.
+- crash: `test/a.test.ts` holds `test('passes before the crash', () => {})`; `test/b.test.ts` holds
+  `test('throws after it returned', ...)`, which throws `new Error('the bus closed under the test')` in a `setTimeout` of
+  1 ms, and `test('waits after the throw', ...)`, which waits 50 ms: node fails the file with an uncaught exception.
+- logcrash (review round 1): `test/a.test.ts` holds `test('passes and logs', ...)`, which logs
+  `retrying after Error: the store was not ready yet`; `test/b.test.ts` is crash's. A passing test's console line
+  holding "Error" comes before the crash's own.
+- timeout: `test/a.test.ts` holds `test('passes before the wait', () => {})` and
+  `test('waits for an answer that never comes', { timeout: 200 }, async () => { await new Promise(() => {}); })`.
+- syntax: `test/a.test.ts` holds `test('passes in the first file', () => {})`; `test/b.test.ts` is
+  `import test from 'node:test';` and `test('never loads', () => {` (cut off): the file does not load.
+
+## tsc/ — the type-check
+
+`typeerror.console` (2026-10-26, typescript 5.9.3 under node v26.12.1): in `/tmp/1901k/tsc/typeerror`, `ok.ts` is
+`export const holders: number = 1;` and `seat.ts` is `import { holders } from './ok.js'; export const name: string = holders;`;
+the command is mesh-build-node's type-check line without a tsconfig.json:
+
+    node <typescript>/bin/tsc --noEmit --module NodeNext --moduleResolution NodeNext --target ES2022 --rootDir . ok.ts seat.ts
+
+and the file is its stdout followed by its stderr.
