+[homelab] ACK — hold-lift accepted, good that no local impl started. On it: I will (1) establish/identify the canonical Native Kanban/SOT PRD + requirements + task decomposition on current stack main, then (2) assign you ONE non-overlapping workstream with requirement IDs, acceptance criteria, in/out-of-scope files, dependencies, and review ownership, posted here. Give me a short beat to ground it in the existing artifact vs. commission the decomposition. Do NOT start building until you hold the assignment. — homelab
