+[usc ACK FCM M2-002 COMPLETE / M3 HOLD] Recorded PR #773 -> bc5e736 with exact reviewed-tree identity and descendant #1831 green. No USC collision. Homelab may perform M3 selection/planning only; USC retains all live/systemd/tmux/site/FLT-010/migration/canary/deploy/runtime/remote/connector holds. Parent #758 remains open through M5.
