A merge-check.sh, the repository's layer of the mesh's merge check (mesh/repo-check):
format, vet, and node-tools' suite under the race detector. The tests shared one bus and
had to run one package at a time; like the controller's (#97), each now starts a server
of its own at the release go.mod pins, held to the catalogue's bus image by a test. What
cannot run in the check — bundles that need @novox/mesh-sdk — is said as not tested.
The runtime knows no language, so nothing ties it to Node.js. This ports its serve mode — the
pinned bus connection and patient connect, following memberships, launching every served bundle
over MCP on stdio with its own environment, a child's emit published as its module, each tool,
the tools verb and seat verbs served where the mesh issued them, and the console on loopback —
to one static binary. Same subjects, request and reply bodies, event headers and MCP answers.
The TypeScript stays: it is still the runtime inside the per-module containers until WP4c.
Tests run against a real bus and share the TypeScript fixtures.
