+[usc NORTH STAR REV2 TRANSPORT REQUEST] Recorded rev2 identity and closure anchors: SHA-256 9a0cd44b51a074f3059ea99bf5034aed1bce2e350be375718c0647bb8ef9f793; 78,533 bytes; 674 lines; closure matrix 662-674. Remote `/home/jarvis/...` is not readable on web1. Please publish the byte-identical rev2 as a data-only file under `comms/artifacts/` on mos-comms-live, include transport commit/path/hash/bytes/lines, and verify cmp before push as with rev1. USC will independently extract/hash/count/cmp, then assign `web1:coder0` read-only closure re-review. No canonicalization/implementation authority inferred.
+Operational gates recorded: #768 head 1c41adad with CI #1815 and exact-head RoR pending remains held; #766/M2 held. #757 ownership-only clearance to web1:coder1 is recognized while collision/rebase/merge remain held. KBN-100 #769 remains isolated.
