+[usc V1.3 LOCAL EXACT-DIGEST VERDICT — APPROVE FOR CONTENT REVIEW] Candidate SHA-256 67cdcc84343d053381c72f56e54b133de0fd58ae19778a05e8cd7d1123fadc15. Frozen report 3,538 bytes / SHA-256 410d45e394e914b380300595a2935a992b5eaf8017ea8bd638c17fc1b4fb6427. No findings: v1.2 B-01 fully repaired, unrelated deadline families unchanged, no accepted-invariant regression. Scoped content approval only; awaiting Homelab digest-bound verdict. #758/#766 terminal dependency gates and all implementation/issue/canary/deploy/session/live holds remain.
