Review of 3baeaec: TestAwaitCredential took 1.9 s, over the unit limit; it now
sets the watch's settle to 10 ms, writes at 20 ms and gives up at 100 ms (0.2 s).
The watch's journal line for a failure named a bundle and a restart; the
credential wait now says it is read again every 30 s instead.
The node-engine starts a module's runtime before the provisioner's client fills
its broker file, and the bus carries a new account only after it reloads its
users. The runtime exited on both and was restarted until they were there (ace,
2026-10-26 21:19: mesh-build-node's and mesh-build-image's runtimes exited twice).
It now waits up to five minutes from its start, said once: the file is read again
each time its directory changes (the bundles' inotify watch, a 30 s backstop),
and an authorization refusal is asked again with the backoff. Past the bound it
gives up loudly; a file with no url, a pin mismatch and a bad URL stay final.

nats.go ends a pull loop on a deleted consumer only when a pull is pending at that moment; otherwise the loop waits out its heartbeat. The rebind tick now looks each bound consumer up by name and compares its creation time.

Its events are refused before the old bundle stops, the bundle watch follows a directory made between
its stat and its watch, and a bundle's reason is read without node's colour codes.
An event a module's consumer heard after the module was dropped for a
reload read a deleted entry and panicked node-tools, taking every tool on
the machine down. The handler now refuses an event of a consumer that is no
longer the module's, and a stopped hearing hands nothing on and offers the
event again at once.
A bundle that writes beside itself (a cache, a socket) loaded itself again
after every quiet spell, because the signature took in every file in its
directory. A delivery puts every file in place anew, so the entrypoint alone
tells a new build. The watch also looks once as it begins, so a bundle that
came between its load and the watch is not missed.
Tests: 1945/AC23 and AC24 in internal/runtime/reload_test.go, and a stopped
hearing in internal/bus/hearing_stopped_test.go.
node-tools loaded every bundle once at start, so a bundle delivered after
it started (mesh-files on shanks, 2026-10-25 12:08) went unserved until a
hand restart, and a missing file was said as "not executable". The
runtime now watches the entrypoints' directories with inotify, loads a
module again once a burst of changes settles, and discovery answers with
what is served now. A bundle that cannot start says it does not exist, is
not executable with its mode, or the exec error.
Tests: 1945/AC19-AC22 in internal/runtime/reload_test.go.

The gitea module's watch of mesh-delivery-checker.owed failed at every attempt
since 03:05 on novox: about 200 owed keys, each a round trip to the bundle,
outlast a 10 s bound for the whole set. The bundle dropped its handler, the
oldest keys were written again every 40 s and the newest, handed over last,
never were: group fix/1937-done-key-blobs's pass never reached mesh/check.
StateWatch now fails only when no current value is handed over within
StateTimeout.

Closing the console shut its server down with a context that never ends, so a stop or restart of
the tool runner waited on any mesh_wait in flight for up to ten minutes. The server's base context
is now cancelled first, ending every wait at once, with a five-second shutdown as a backstop
(second review of issue 745).

The lab installs node-tools with npm ci, which refuses a lock that no longer
describes package.json; the SDK's range and the toolchain's development
dependencies had moved in package.json alone, so every lab run stopped at
setup. The image's build runs npm install and never read the lock, so nothing
noticed.

A round in which no PING reached the laptop's console within the 750 ms window
was taken as the mesh's answer that nothing is there, and replaced the index:
every seat and module call was refused for five seconds at a time. Discovery
now waits up to its patience for a first PING, a round that heard nothing is
not kept, a runtime not heard this round is resolved from what it announced
last (said with its age), and a round that misses runtimes is logged once.
A PING carries a digest of what the instance serves, so an unchanged
announcement is not pulled again every round (some 880 kB to the laptop).
A catalogue's TypeScript check fetches nothing and reads this image's
node_modules. Once a module it cannot check fails rather than passing with a
note, mesh-catalog, model-usage, mongodb and mssql could never merge again.
They are development dependencies, so the runtime image stays as it is.

Launched.Stop now returns once the bundle's exit is handled, bounded by
StopWait, and the launcher reads its restart pauses once at Start, so
the exit goroutine no longer races a test that changes them. The caller
tests drop their half-second pause (novox/hq issue 476).

mesh/state.history answers every value a bucket still keeps for a key,
oldest first, to whoever may get it, by the same watch the runtime already
uses, so no new grant is needed.

A log keeps what it is given for good, so the state guard against secrets
applies to it too; the stream holds 260 KiB a message so the headers an
append carries never push a 256 KiB value over.

The runtime answers mesh/log.append, read, last and info for a log issued
in the module's membership, by publish, batch direct get and stream info
alone. A stale expect is refused as a lost state update, so a module tells
it by the same code.

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).
