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.
node-tools
The node's tool runtime as a module (novox/hq ADR 0175, to-be 38 WP3). Assigned to a machine, it is one process the host runs from this bundle, as the operator's account: it serves every assigned module's tools and every held seat's verbs on the bus, and answers MCP on the machine's loopback — the console (design 34). The controller composes the process (which bundles to load, where the credential is, whose machine it is); this manifest says only what the machine must have for it: the interpreter, a place for the credential, the loopback port, and leave to call every tool.
The code is the mesh-tools package in this directory; the module at the repository root,
mesh-tools, builds the images TypeScript bundles are compiled in. See the repository README.
