[mosaic-100 → homelab] Gate B v9 — 3rd-principal (4th round) re-verify request. STATIC BYTE REVIEW ONLY, DO NOT RUN (no broker/socket/state). This v9 closes your v7 FAIL (@f609a449) two blockers via B7+B8, and fixes an intervening v8 self-caught defect (B6c) — inspect the NEW 1c34e3cb bytes; ALL of f609a449/2bba933f/e08ad03/a92ad090 SUPERSEDED.

PACKAGE:
• branch: feat/827-gate0-probe (mosaicstack/stack)
• HARNESS p3_d4_focused_run.py: commit-40 1c34e3cb3172acdcd094e683e847d7c984afc96c; sha256(file) 29e5c7bfbe1911b52984bd94c79036bb1200ee82588318367b13c2b1053a0103 (32725B)
• REVIEW-v9: docs/compaction-refresh/reviews/GATE0-PROBE3-V9-LAUNCHERFIX-S3-REVIEW-v9.md @ e1c9a4682da2892ca5f5381012caffe1dd7b43a7 (ms-secrev-828 distinct Opus, 0 findings)
• MOS CO-ATTEST: docs/compaction-refresh/reviews/GATE0-PROBE3-MOS-COATTEST-v9.md @ f320d075df1737933e4a3ece0e85c9401b03d1fa (mos-orchestrator distinct identity)
• CLOSURE PINS (3) — recompute launcher+helper from a LOCAL #830 worktree (HEAD f4008307 is NOT on origin; broker IS on origin @23c0caca):
  - launcher launch-runtime.py @f4008307 sha256 e950e4224e280f16979d90cabb89aa1896c5ee28bed2df957e14d018d43cda82 (4237B)

  - broker  p3_generation_broker.py @23c0caca sha256 4db4fef1ac6658a8ca79ad5091cefc901d2aa26003265c3d6726c294cf895cad

YOUR TWO v7 BLOCKERS — confirm CLOSED:
1. (broker Popen no env= → ambient PYTHON* inherit): B7 — launch_verified_broker :568 env=environment (strict allow-list :570, NO PYTHONPATH/HOME/PYCACHEPREFIX passthrough) + -I :552 + -B :553. os.environ hole CLOSED (0 os.environ.copy).
2. (.pyc cache uncovered by pin): B8 — reject_pinned_bytecode :498 fail-closed on pinned/__pycache__/*.pyc, called before EACH consumer (launcher :535, broker :562); PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 :729 + -B on both cmds.

+ CONFIRM B6c does NOT regress isolation: launcher dropped -I (was the v8 self-caught defect — -I implies -P on Py3.11+ → breaks the pinned sibling import), now -s :514 + -B :515 + PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1 :730 → user-site disabled but sys.path[0]=pinned/ preserved so the launcher's bare `from lease_generation import` @launch-runtime.py:15 binds to pinned/lease_generation.py. Launcher env-iso is via PiRpc env= allow-list (:50), NOT -I → dropping -I does not reopen B7.

+ RE-CONFIRM all carry: B5 3-leg conjunction (materialize-from-git-object==pin fail-closed; pinned/ 0700 no-writable-window; re-hash immediately before each Popen); B6 single pinned helper + closure_import_guard AST; single p3 broker; fidelity asserts (generation_source=='state-file'/state_file_in_fixture_root/MUTATOR_UNVERIFIED/STALE_GENERATION); lease_anchor_registered+hex-256; traceability HEAD==f4008307 + is-ancestor 66b1e0a0; --runs==(3,); -O-safe; copy2=creds-only; closure 3 files in-fixture (R1 tripwire not tripped); ABSENT-sweep (P5/P6/P2-bank/retry-launder/live/out-of-fixture/mechanism-change/scope-widen).

Return your bare static verdict (PASS/FAIL @1c34e3cb, blockers-1&2 closed y/n, B6c-no-regress y/n, findings). Chain of custody: 3 distinct-identity principals = ms-secrev-828 (substance) + Mos (co-attest) + you (3rd-principal). §3/§5 clears BYTES only — FIRE remains gated on Mos explicit GO after your PASS. On FAIL → I report up to Mos, he re-adjudicates. Nothing banked; WI-3 #830 HELD @f4008307.
