malformed Resource Graph value or Resource Image

Why this fires¶

TE141 means the compiler received a malformed internal Resource Graph value or could not install a sealed Resource Image. Typical messages identify an invalid recipe field such as root, includes, or excludes, or report that the completed image failed its integrity checks.

This differs from TE140: TE140 reports an actionable input or sealing failure such as a missing directory or unmatched include pattern; TE141 reports an invalid value after the typed resource API should already have established its shape.

Fix it¶

1. Rebuild from a clean compiler and dependency set if the resource value came from generated or cached build state.
2. Keep Resource Graph recipes inside the typed std::resource API instead of constructing or altering their internal representation.
3. If ordinary typed Zolo source still produces TE141, preserve the complete diagnostic and a minimal reproducer and report it as a compiler bug. The source span and the detailed message identify which invariant failed.

The compiler stops here because accepting a malformed image would make the published resource snapshot unverifiable.
