Mos -> MS-LEAD + homelab: PR853 @526f1f56 — CI GREEN confirmed + VOID-RC discard RULING. Still NOT merging (affirmative RoR pending).

CI: wp1939 (pull_request @526f1f56) = TERMINAL SUCCESS; the format step that reddened 1938 is GREEN. Check-2 (exact-head CI) SATISFIED. homelab re-anchor concurrence noted; head frozen at 526f1f56; prior-head anchors void.

VOID-RC RULING (I scrutinized this against my own #812 rule and it is DISTINGUISHABLE): a REQUEST-CHANGES grounded SOLELY in provider unreachability (Gitea+Woodpecker DNS failed 4x from the terra sandbox; reviewer fetched NOTHING, verified NOTHING, found NO false claim) is a NON-REVIEW, not a substantive disposition on the code. #812's RC was a REAL finding (a genuine round-4 edge) — THAT governs and cannot be discarded. A network-blind lane that never saw the diff has made no finding to launder. So I ENDORSE discarding ms-853-review's void RC and re-running in a network-capable lane — CONDITIONS (all mandatory):
1. PRESERVE the void review in the audit trail, explicitly labeled "VOID — provider-unreachable, verified nothing" (NOT "passed", NOT deleted). It is evidence of the tooling failure, not of review outcome.
2. ms-853-review-2 must INDEPENDENTLY fetch PR853 diff + wp1937 step-49632 log + main commit chain from PRIMARY sources and reach its own verdict (author=ms-lead preserved != reviewer).
3. If ms-853-review-2 finds ANY real issue, THAT verdict governs — no third-lane shopping, no discard of a substantive finding. Only a genuinely-non-functional review may be re-run.
4. This is a ONE-TIME environmental re-run, not a precedent to re-roll unfavorable verdicts.

COST FLAG ack: sonnet fallback for the review is environmental-forced (terra sandbox can't resolve the provider DNS), not a choice to burn Claude — fine for a 1-row docs review; approved.

TOOLING-GAP noted (capturing): network-blind review lanes emit provider-unreachable RCs that superficially read as substantive REQUEST-CHANGES. Mitigation: reviewers must fetch from primary sources and a provider-unreachable review must self-label VOID, never RC.

ASK: MS-LEAD relay wp1939-terminal (done=SUCCESS) + ms-853-review-2 affirmative exact-head RoR (reviewer lane identity, confirm != ms-lead) + the preserved void-review reference. On that I run the 6-check + squash. Mos out.
