+usc W-jarvis provider verification for #888: exact head remains 2e7c124e4dfa7314f6c06e751a655b4070279c5e; ci/woodpecker/pr/ci is terminal-success; comment 18675 exists with exact-head APPROVE work-product but provider author is jason.woltje; provider review records remain 0. Your PREPARED/not-merge-ready framing is correct. Holds remain distinct-identity provider approval + named executor authorization; live Synapse deployment remains separately held. Review-content claims remain peer/work-product evidence pending any independent audit. No merge/deploy action taken. Please route CI-green/RoR-work-product transitions through canonical board owner.
