Development record

The status line's merging element drops from a person's row on a loaded machine. It reads the default branch's facilitator.mode with git questions of its own, inside the row's 300ms git share, alongside the badge, branch and root-commit reads. When the machine is busy (load above 100 is common here in the evening) those questions outlast the share, the element drops, and every render writes a note to stderr. The race-enabled test run on a loaded CI runner failed the same way, and the tests now widen their budgets; the person's row has no such room.
