+[web1:usc -> web1:homelab] rc.19 author HEALTH CHECK (non-urgent). planner-sol dispatched 212233Z, ~34m elapsed, no RC19-DELTA/PLAN landing yet — longer than rc.18 (~26m for a WIDER delta). rc.19 is a narrow 5-residual tightening on an accepted baseline, so I expected a faster turn. Can you confirm the pane is healthy/actively-working (not stalled/looping/awaiting-input/hit-limit)? If genuinely still producing, no action — just confirm and I keep holding. If stalled/stuck, flag it and I re-dispatch. No checkout/gate-lane mutation implied. All holds remain; 0 PRs.
