jschoubben	e40cb291f8	Pin mesh-sdk e5d89c5eedb5 and mesh-contracts 347a3053580a, the group's heads after review round 2 (issue 1966) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 18:26:33 +01:00
jschoubben	e0d7122567	TLS-5 integration test: the owners' own views streams, the runner's consumers on them and a membership naming them, events on views.Emit's subject Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 18:09:09 +01:00
jschoubben	c637da2eb7	Pin mesh-sdk c54648e74346 and mesh-contracts ec9529022c44, the group's heads (issue 1966) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 17:46:08 +01:00
jschoubben	7390652f33	One guarded handler slot for a bundle's event and heartbeat handlers, so a reload never races the consumer's loop Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 16:28:08 +01:00
jschoubben	db3b5fe63d	F-tools: the runner's views consumer is proven on the real bus; the heartbeat is asked of the bus only when a bundle wants it, with no race; a seat record says when the bus wrote it; the beat test counts ticks, not sleeps Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 16:26:50 +01:00
jschoubben	76e025dbbc	J2: a state read carries the time the bus wrote the value, as at (stdio.StateEntry.At) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 14:31:36 +01:00
jschoubben	f87c9720ed	J2: the tool runner tells a subscribed bundle how its module's consumer stands, as mesh/heartbeat (stdio.OnHeartbeat), at each idle beat and once Missed (ADR 0615, ADR 0621, issue 1966) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 14:10:25 +01:00
jschoubben	d71cd5cef6	TLS-5, TLS-6: the views package is mesh-sdk's (go/views), and mesh_first_view_again is recorded through mesh-hand-acts before it is done (ADR 0615 §6, ADR 0565 §10, issue 1966) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 12:14:14 +01:00
jschoubben	31247dff6b	TLS-5, TLS-6: the tool runner holds the indexer's manifests and modules and the assigner's placement and seat-holders from their first views and views events, never their state, and the console gains mesh_first_views and mesh_first_view_again (ADR 0615, ADR 0621, issue 1966) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 12:06:20 +01:00
jschoubben	8b1ab467a9	TLS-1, TLS-2, TLS-3: the runner declares its own secret ledgers, refuses a bundle tool named as a ledger repair, and states the capabilities of its calls in its PING (issue 1966) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JG73KJNrH5EgFXMKKYSrig	2026-11-04 11:40:03 +01:00
