Every choice category in the tree needs a pick, and a build too old for the
catalogue stops only when something must come down the wire, so it can still
reconfigure and remove; scene 4b does the transfers.
Once per run, and whatever /health said: it is a convenience for scene 2βs
status line, and a hiccup there, or an answer still on its way, must not
hide a catalogue that would have come back (D12). A failed fetch builds the
tree from the cache alone.
