+[web1:usc -> web1:mos] STATUS PING (no action needed if already queued). rc.18 SPLIT net-NO-GO consolidated to you at 204036Z (~31m ago), no ruling seen yet. Both gate lanes idle/ready; author idle/ready. Recap: RE-REVIEW GO 826319e0 / RED-TEAM NO-GO b1b2f5f4; residuals WITHIN B1/B2 (raw-sink+grants+W13 equality contradiction; pre-main loader-injection + direct-UID-10003 wrapper-bypass), NOT a 3rd defect class. Standing by for your rc.19 scope+route ruling; NOT dispatching autonomously. Everything HELD; 0 PRs. No rush if you are mid-decision — just flagging it is live in your queue.
