Changes touching this path

• eleven hand-rolled relay doubles become one TestRelay configured by value, so a withheld address and a pre-803 posture are settings that carry their tickets rather than structs re-declared under three names, and eighteen tests ask the seam instead of the repo 306942dd · dbf3dbe6…
• the composition TestRelay newly allows gets a test that fails if a fault is applied before the postures instead of after, a holding constructor absorbs the three hand-built relay fixtures, and the two invariants a comment was carrying say why they are load-bearing 34a33d0c · dbf3dbe6…diff
• loot fetch lands as the first half of pull by call rather than by imitation: the negotiate-fetch-apply loop comes out of pull_via_declaring as Workspace::fetch_via, and pull now runs capture-first, that call, then the fold, so the two verbs cannot drift about what arriving means - the same extraction merge made of fold_onto. the custody routing comes out of pull_routed the same way, so a locked fetch takes the exact fork pull takes, relay unsigned and forge refused by name, and fetch becomes the second caller of the sealing door, which the custody gate now enumerates by name instead of counting to one. safe on a dirty tree is structural rather than guarded, because capture-first sits above the extracted half, and it is pinned by byte-comparing status porcelain across the call with a modified tracked file in the fixture - the live version id is what moves, and a capture-first mutation reddens it while the path list stays identical. no re-fetch is measured rather than asserted: the test relay now records the raw wants count per round, a later pull is required to ask for zero addresses, and the non-zero ask the fetch itself made is the positive control - an ingest-free mutation makes that number read 2. what integrating would involve is read off the head partition converge executes, through a shared converge_partition, so fast-forward means no merge node rather than one head. two premises of the ticket are wrong. a subsequent converge or pull completes the GRAPH integration but not the working tree when the repo was strictly behind, because converge_heads returns before materializing on a single head and the auto-surface of pull fires only on a non-empty apply, so the content lands in the graph and never on disk while the pull prints nothing new - the same un-materialized state a no-surface pull and a locked pull leave, and fetch now prints that and names loot rehome first. and --remote is the first valued flag of six verbs rather than of this one, so loot fetch --remote --json resolved a remote named --json; the refusal went into remote_sel, where push, pull, propose, grants and pull-grants all reach it (#1514) 577ae796 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• shallow clone lands with the cut on the RECEIVING side, and that is why no wire moves and no format major does either: the fetch body is a format-marked pair of oid runs, so a depth field would be a new wire shape and therefore a bump, where taking the whole change lane and KEEPING n generations needs no new field, no new endpoint and no server change - a shallow client works against every relay and forge already deployed, including older ones. the price is stated rather than glossed: the change lane metadata crosses once in full on the first round, and what is saved is the object bodies, which is where a history bytes are, exact from the second round onward. the no-false-absence guard lives in THREE places and none of them is a verb - assemble, which every CLI open lands in, measures the frontier; apply_bundle_reaching, the only thing that can move one, re-measures it; and the dispatcher states it on stderr after BOTH the success and the refusal arm, because a refusal is a false absence WORST shape. it cannot be bypassed by a verb that forgets to ask: there is no path from the CLI to history that skips assemble, and the one way to open without measuring is to declare RepoNeed without graph, which makes the first history read PANIC - so the declaration that would silence the notice is the same one that aborts the verb. it rides stderr rather than the shape, so json and porcelain stay byte identical under ADR 0023, and a complete position emits nothing at all. depth never reaches the remote AT ALL, pinned three ways: every recorded request re-encoded through the real codec is exactly header plus 32 bytes per id with no room for a depth or a path, the union of every have and wants is a SUBSET of what the relay itself named in a prior answer, and the aimed one is that two positions cloning the same history at the same depth and differing ONLY in their sparse view emit BYTE IDENTICAL requests. the test relay recorder had to start capturing IDS rather than counts, because a privacy claim about a request cannot be checked against a length. two findings came out of the sweep rather than the design. one mutation stayed GREEN and refuted a claim already written into four files - that shallowness is stable because the frontier id rides the declared closure - since a declared have IS a closure claim and the held tips therefore already subtract everything behind the cut; every occurrence is now the narrow true sentence with the refutation beside it. and a count assertion caught a silent no-op: the obvious deepen posture, the closure minus the frontier, comes back with an EMPTY change lane REPORTING SUCCESS, because the remaining ids are still descendants of the cut - a deepen must declare NOTHING, and the posture is now derived from the bound so the wrong pair cannot be spelled. the body-deferring filter is NOT attempted and is the one criterion left: it needs a lazy object read on every get, surface and diff path plus a policy for what happens offline, and half-building it would put a FIFTH kind of not-here into a store that already distinguishes four (#1527) 2cccbe27 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• a fetch gains a depth the host honours: the request carries a trailing depth after its wants, written only above zero so a request at zero is byte for byte what every client sent before, and an old host decoder returns after the wants and never sees it, which is what makes it safe to send to any host; the relay and the forge confine the change lane to the nodes within that many generations of their live heads, one being the heads and nothing older, intersected with the delta past have and, on the forge, after the entitlement gate, so a caller refused metadata in a full bundle is refused it at any depth and a node the caller holds is never re-sent, while a want is answered by address whatever the depth, the lane walking the cut changes as it walks the held ones; the seeds are live heads and not childless ids, the forge reading the ref declared set a client computed with its retire applied and the engine excluding any version a node names as a predecessor, since on a host that ingests amends a superseded sibling stays childless and would otherwise seed a generation of its own, 213 such tips against 31 real on this repo; /info advertises it as fetch_depth, false when absent, so a caller that needs the bound refuses a host without it and a caller that can afford the fallback proceeds. the receiver still cuts and that stays the rule, ADR 0089 amended rather than overturned: pull_metadata_via and the depth round of a bounded pull ask the host for the depth they will keep, FromTips as its n and a deepen as zero since the frontier is this position own, and applies IngestDepth to whatever arrives, so a host that predates the field sends the history and the position is the same one generation deep, which the test relay pins both ways by playing a host that honours the depth and one that does not. the WASM core encodes the same bytes, frozen in the parity suite against the native vector at depth one. decided by a grill of six questions on 2026-09-20 and recorded on the ticket and in the ADR: bounded per invocation regardless of persistence, a depth on the existing fetch rather than a listing endpoint, counted from the host heads, search kept on the receiving side over bodies fetched by address, the host cut an optimisation the client never depends on, and the SDK and the cache cap to follow. this is the wire half of the browser SDK stopping its 53 MB stateless read and of the serverless runner per-job pull; measured against the live relay in the landing comment once the hosts are deployed. pinned on the same shapes at each host so the two walks are held to one answer, a chain at depths one, two and zero and past a have, a fork whose two heads are both seeds, a superseded sibling that never is, and depth zero byte-identical to the one-pass walk this walk replaced, the forge with a reader the gate refuses getting nothing at any depth; in loot-net on the field decoded both ways with an old body as zero, an odd remainder refused, a pre-field info as false and one frozen vector both encoders pin; over the wire on a spawned relay and a spawned forge each answering one node of two at depth one and advertising the cut, with a want riding across the cut; and in the CLI cache refresh asking depth one. a clone at a depth asks the host too, so its declined count is 0 under a host that cut, since nothing behind the cut arrives to be declined, and the frontier width is what says the position is bounded, which the shallow suite now pins against a host that honours the depth and one that predates it; the count stays exact on a deepen, which asks the host for no cut because the frontier it deepens from is this position own. red under mutation, counts read each time: the engine ignoring the depth (0 passed and 1 failed), the engine cut counting one generation too many (0 passed and 1 failed), the depth never written (1 passed and 1 failed), the depth never read (1 passed and 1 failed), the relay not advertising the cut (1 passed and 1 failed), the relay handler dropping the depth (0 passed and 1 failed), the forge ignoring the depth (0 passed and 1 failed), the forge cutting before the gate (0 passed and 1 failed), the forge not advertising the cut (0 passed and 1 failed), the cache refresh asking no depth (0 passed and 1 failed), the receiver stopping its own cut when the host cuts (0 passed and 1 failed), the wasm framing never writing the depth (0 passed and 1 failed), the forge handler dropping the depth (0 passed and 1 failed), the engine seeding from a superseded version (0 passed and 1 failed), the forge seeding from every childless id declared or not (0 passed and 1 failed), an odd remainder read as no depth (1 passed and 1 failed), and the wants lane skipping the cut changes (0 passed and 1 failed). no migration and no format major move: a trailing field the old side never reads is a minor move, and /info default false is the whole compatibility story; the relay and the forge owe a deploy, which the release cut carries. the workspace suite is green (4017 passed over 126 binaries, 7 ignored) (#2123) e3ddfdce · dbf3dbe6…diff

Renames are not followed. loot's tree maps a path to an address, so a rename is a delete and an add. This list is the history of the name, not of the bytes.
