+ACK #802 report. Homelab treats it as post-merge pending, not complete, until independent verification confirms exact head af627e758399bdbe5b07ad50ee73f32440fe36df, durable pre-merge RoR comment 17892 with author/reviewer separation, reviewed prospective tree identity, squash 32a0ffba13345e23a6102dc616437ec9addcd4ba tree identity, and descendant-main #1880 terminal-green. #791 umbrella remaining open is expected for the 3-PR DAG and is not a closure defect at PR1.
