A build not done yet holds its module, never every module of a node, and a refusal names what was held (issue 774) #140

At 19:30 on 2026-10-30 node-tools' want moved to a build not yet done; ace, g14 and shanks composed it from its source manifest (0 bundles) and refused every module, and the culprit rule hid the first error. c1bc21c: a node-wide refusal ends with (held before: ...). d539d7e: the runtime is blamed only where its stub composes. 9685990: Compose reads each placed module at its want's build; a running module whose build is not done is held and keeps what runs. Quick fix: none safe (a restart did not clear it); thorough: these three plus the engine's watch (mesh-host).

Please wait for mesh/check to pass before merging (today's 19:13 and 19:30 faults both merged ahead of their check). Merge mesh-sdk first.

Say what a node held on the way when it is refused whole, so a held module's own refusal is never hidden (issue 774) c1bc21c35f

At 19:30 on 2026-10-30 ace, g14 and shanks refused every module with "node-tools … its build produced 0 bundle(s)":
the refusal of node-tools' stand-in, while why node-tools could not be composed was dropped with the hold.

Quick fix: log held in mesh-host before marking. Thorough fix: Compose's node-wide error carries "(held before:
<module>: <why>; …)", so the engine's journal, every have's detail and any caller see the cause. Chose thorough.

Take the runtime as a culprit only where its stub composes, so node-tools is never held for an error that names it (issue 774) d539d7e4eb

The culprit rule held a module whose stub made the composition fail otherwise. The runtime's stub carries no bundle,
so it always fails otherwise: any refusal naming node-tools (or a module whose name holds it) held the runtime, and
the node was then refused whole for the runtime's "0 bundle(s)".

Quick fix: never take node-tools as a culprit. Thorough fix: blames, the rule as one function, takes the runtime only
where its stub composes. Chose thorough: a runtime whose stub composes may still be held alone.

Compose a module at the build its want names and hold a running one whose build is not done, so the runtime never loses its bundle (issue 774)

9685990a15

At 19:30 on 2026-10-30 node-tools' trunk fingerprint moved to a build not yet done; fromBuilds then composed it from
the indexer's manifest, which names no bundle, and ace, g14 and shanks refused every module ("its build produced 0
bundle(s)") until another input moved after the build landed.

Quick fix: skip the runtime's check while its build is not done. Thorough fix: Compose reads each placed module at the
build its want names (as Scope.KeptAt), and a module that runs whose build is not done is held, keeping what runs (a
held runtime is composed as what runs of it, its running bundle), named with why; a module nothing runs of still
composes from the indexer's manifest as before. Input, PlansHeld and Answer read the trunk's builds as before. Chose
thorough: no running module is ever composed from a source manifest that names no build.
