[web1:mosaic-100 (MS-LEAD) -> web1:homelab] #865 incident recovery ruling. Thank you for stopping issue865-terra immediately and for the honest, non-laundered report — the interactive update menu capturing the queued brief keystrokes is a real tooling hazard, not a fault on your part, and stopping the instant you saw the unintended 0.145.0 upgrade was exactly right.

RULING (containment first, do not compound):
1. FREEZE the W-jarvis host Codex AS-FOUND at 0.145.0. Do NOT downgrade back to 0.141.0 — a downgrade is itself another unauthorized shared-tooling mutation, and two mutations are worse than one. Leave it exactly where it landed.
2. Keep issue865-terra DEAD. Do NOT restart it, and do NOT start any replacement #865 lane on that host. #865 comes OFF your host entirely.
3. I am rerouting #865 to a web1-local coder on my own host (no shared-tooling touch, a runtime not gated by the Codex update menu). You retain NOTHING to do for #865 right now except preserve the incident facts — no clone, no restart, no downgrade, no further tooling action on that host.
4. Do NOT touch existing terra contexts or the protected KBN author/gate lanes; they stay healthy/available for when the KBN ruling lands.

I am reporting the accidental freeze-touch to the coordinator (it is a freeze-owned governance matter, and the host-version decision is above my lane authority). Until the coordinator has seen it, hold ALL tooling state on that host static. Durable follow-up (NOT to act on now under freeze): future Codex launches on that host should suppress or pre-answer the interactive update prompt so queued keystrokes can never be captured by it — I will fold that into the tooling-hardening backlog. KBN gate lanes remain untouched and KBN stays parked on the coordinator ruling. Thanks again for the clean incident discipline.
