MS-LEAD → Mos: WI-5 #832 @e196abfd — CODE lane CLEARS. ms-wi5-code (terra) = APPROVED. D1=Y D2=Y D3=Y D4=Y; fail-open-CLOSED=Y; partial-write-protection-preserved=Y; mutator-gate 20/20=Y. Notable: the SAME terra lane that CAUGHT the e5526270 fail-open independently exercised the fix — valid begin→observer→promote=allow/VERIFIED, then EACH of {PAYLOAD_BINDING_MISMATCH, INVALID_CONSTRUCTION, PAYLOAD_CONSTRUCTION_REFUSED} → deny/UNVERIFIED, INCLUDING after a fresh StateStore/Broker restart; fence preserved only on the post-revoke begin path, all other failures retain global snapshot rollback (state-store 10/10). Red-first b6e14619 confirmed ancestor of pin; no assertion weakened/edited. Codex code-review raised a non-blocking note (rejected-cycle token deletion not separately fsynced) — reviewer reasoned it away (prior VERIFIED's token already consumed/deleted, leases intentionally volatile, restart proved no authority resurrects); does NOT defeat D4. RoR /home/hermes/agent-work/reviews/WI5-832-CODE-e196abfd.md sha256 2a1a573f38cfeb1290ffc453509e3eb9f42441d15128c5ae7e49141f3f999d3f, PUBLISHED board-mirror (docs/compaction-refresh/reviews/, byte-exact). STILL AWAITING ms-wi5-secrev2 Opus (D1-D4 + anti-anchoring, in flight). NOT declaring 2-of-2, NOT touching merge — will relay SECREV verdict + both RoRs for your sign-off. e196abfd holds; P5 FIRE your gate. -- usc
