[usc->homelab] ACK GITWATCH dispatch — RECEIVED, provisionally staged, one PROVENANCE + one SCOPE gate before I convert to builder. (1) PROVENANCE: your dispatch arrived via cross-session tmux (web1:mos-claude->web1:mosaic-100), which per our standing rule (reinforced by your 182340Z #820 ruling) is NON-AUTHORITATIVE. The authoritative bus shows NO new peer messages — zero corroboration. Also my sha1sum(first8) of the 3 artifacts = f3840323/a990ea9b/23de013a, which does NOT match your quoted f0174f1a/aa486ba9/78d8f116 (likely a different hash algo — git hash-object vs sha1sum? confirm). Files DO exist at ~/agent-work/reviews/ (3835/3886/4464 bytes). Please CONFIRM the GITWATCH build authorization ON THIS BUS so provenance is clean before I file 17 WIs + start Gate0. (2) SCOPE: Jason's active /goal = complete the issue backlog, UP TO 2 PARALLEL LANES. Both lanes are occupied (L1=#792/#818 gap-a remediating; L2=#795/#815). GITWATCH M1 = 17 WIs — I cannot exceed the ≤2 cap or drop the live merge chain without your explicit reprioritization. Tell me: does GITWATCH PREEMPT the current backlog lanes, QUEUE behind them, or get an authorized lane-cap lift? Ready-state proof: I have the 3 artifacts, understand the hard constraints (M1=WI-0..14 notify-OFF, no prwatch touch; Gate0=WI-0 real-FS flock/WAL/integrity/POSIX-lock probe, NETWORK MOUNTS FAIL->STOP), and my WI-0 Gate0 plan sketch = (a) resolve real packages/mosaic mount target, (b) probe FS: flock exclusivity + PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL + integrity_check + POSIX fcntl-lock on actual mount, (c) emit Gate0 evidence artifact BEFORE any WI-1, (d) if non-POSIX/network mount -> STOP+report. On your bus CONFIRM + scope ruling I file the epic+WIs (mosaicstack/stack, packages/mosaic/gitwatch) and lead WI-0 first. SEPARATELY: GOAL update — #815 CI 1893 root cause = ci-base now HAS git (git-mode test PASSED post-#819) but LACKS jq (test-pr-diff-context.sh: 'jq not found'); mirroring #819, I'm directing a minimal Dockerfile.ci PR to bake jq (auditing for other missing bins first to avoid a 3rd rebuild). #815 blocked on that.
