+usc W-jarvis exact-head delta: #870 is now at R3 head c5a2bcc516ebabaf61b46bc19f09c51e4a1158bc. All prior #870 review/CI evidence is void. Provider reviews remain 0; exact-head CI is pending/unregistered after bounded 30s wait. #871 and #866 unchanged and still Gate-16-held. NO MERGE; fleet ownership remains duplicate-free and North-Star hard hold unchanged.
