callerOn reads a caller only under the call kind, so a tool subscription ending
in a wildcard never yields one. A caller-named call that reached nobody is said
once per subject before it is asked on the old subject, so a runtime or grant
that drifted behind is seen rather than a quiet unproven. The caller tests wait
for their bundle's exit, which reads the launcher's restart pauses another test
sets.

Each tool and seat verb is also served on its caller-named subject, kind call
with the caller's bus user last, which the controller grants each user with its
own name alone; the runtime hands the module that caller in the call's _meta,
never from the body. Calls through the runtime (the console and modules'
invokes) ask the caller-named subject first and the old one only when the first
reached nobody: nothing serves it yet, or the bus refused it because the grant
is not delivered yet, which ends the call at once rather than after 30 s. The
old subjects stay served and say no caller for one release (hq issue 464).

The consumer's ack wait is 30 seconds and the runtime gives a handler two minutes,
so an event handled longer was offered again while it was handled; events waiting
in the client's buffer ran out their ack wait too, so a burst reached max-deliver
with nothing failed. Say in-progress every 10 seconds, as a worker's work does,
and pull one event at a time.

The issues module will hand out numbers through mesh/state.create and update. Two writers incrementing one
counter a thousand times each through the module's bus now end at two thousand with every number handed out
once; a stale, zero or future revision is refused with the lost-write code and writes nothing; a deleted key
can be created again; and the lost-write code reaches a bundle wrapped or not, and no other refusal carries it.
Both runtime tests run in the check's bundleless list, so mesh/repo-check runs them.

The comments said a failing event dead-letters, which nothing did; the
controller now keeps it, and delivers it again under a subject this runtime
reads the same key from (ADR 0264).

An answer larger than the bus's max_payload was refused by the client library
inside its holder, and the caller waited out its 30 s and read silence: the
controller's conditions and status for hours on 2026-10-08. The console now asks
for the parts of an answer the controller paged and joins them; a module's answer
too large for one message is answered as an error saying so, at once.

A tie went to whichever tool discovery listed first, so docker logs found docker_secrets_in_logs
before docker_logs on some runs. A name the query says whole wins, then the shorter name.
The agent searched with journalctl, logs and docker ps and found nothing, so it went over ssh. Search
now reads what each verb and tool replaces from the controller's records, matches a command line
against it, ranks the matches, and says the command it matched.

mesh-delivery is the delivery's seat and the module holding it, which answers the seat's verbs with
tools of the same names. Discovery keyed the seat's verbs and the module's tools in one namespace, so
the module's tool took the key and the seat was listed with no verb; and every address with the name
resolved to the seat, so neither the seat's verbs nor the module's tools could be called. The keys are
apart, and `<node>/<module>.<tool>` reaches the module when the module serves it (novox/hq issue 284).
A repository's own merge-check.sh may declare this toolchain, and a suite that reads a
repository's history failed with spawnSync git ENOENT. Nothing compiled here calls it.
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.
"plex did not take radarr.download.completed: Unexpected end of JSON input"
read as the runtime failing to parse the bundle's answer. It was plex's own
handler error, relayed. A bundle's error answer is now a launch.Refused, and
the line says the handler answered an error, quotes it, names the event id
and the delay before the next offer; the runtime's own failures (no answer
in time, bundle exited) are said as before.
The rule, unchanged and now tested: any mesh/event answer that is not an
error takes the event, whatever its result says, including none.
A machine whose node-engine is heard and whose runtime is gone is a
machine nobody can ask anything, and nothing said so. The runtime now
says on mesh.control.<node>.tools-alive, every minute, that it is there,
with its interval and build; the controller raises tools-silent after
three missed. Core NATS, like the host's heartbeat: a lost one is the
next one. A heartbeat the bus refuses is logged when that starts and
when it stops.
The console took node out of every schema and every call, so the
controller's push, plan, assign, pin and settings were described without
the machine and called without it: a push naming one machine ran as a
push of every machine behind (hq issue 244). node is now taken out only
where the address names the machine, a different machine there is
refused, and an argument a seat's verb does not declare is refused.
The console gathered $SRV.INFO answers for a fixed 750 ms. The laptop's
runtime (48 modules, 341 endpoints, 164 kB) answers last every time: its
answer crosses to the broker on another machine and back, a median of
365 ms on a quiet link and 813 ms in one of 25 rounds measured. When it
missed the window the console said its modules ran nowhere ("nothing in
the mesh is called slack") or only on another machine.
Discovery now asks $SRV.PING alongside $SRV.INFO and waits, past the
window and up to 5 s, for every instance that answered PING. A runtime
that never sends what it serves, or answered before and not now, is
named in every answer that might concern it instead of the module being
called missing. An answer still too large after first-line descriptions
drops them, and says so in its metadata.
mesh_runtimes reports, per runtime, its machine, how long its answer
took, its size, its modules and tools, whether it was shortened and when
it was last heard, and the runtimes and machines not heard.
Every tool's schema in one $SRV.INFO reply outgrew max_payload on machines
serving 137-206 tools, and the refused reply was dropped silently, so search
and a machine's view went empty. Module tools now announce without schema;
describe and tools/list ask the module for it. An answer still too large has
its descriptions cut to a line, and a failed reply is logged.
"authorization" alone matched a tool's own answer mentioning the word — the
runtime refusing a state value with an Authorization header read as
"this account may not call".
