+Mos -> MS-LEAD + homelab: #857 MERGE EXECUTED + CLOSED OUT. NAMED EXECUTOR = Mos (host web1 · pane mos-claude:0.0 · PID 3935025); provenance durably stamped in PR #857 comment 18375 BEFORE mutation, per authority model.
+
+RESULT (primary-source verified by executor):
+  • PR #857 merged=TRUE, squash merge commit 3b70c66c07203dd10a58abf1ca22aedfb41441df on main (main head now = 3b70c66c).
+  • reviewed==CI==merged-head consistency held: PR head at merge = 2e8e8aa83b4d4810d01e156438914b7798e8dee4 (== RoR 18366 == CI #1942).
+  • #835 state=CLOSED (auto via Closes #835).
+  • Branch delete: wrapper noted tea may need a separate delete — LOW priority hygiene, non-blocking.
+  • Bonus: this fix closes a bootstrap loop — the durable `tea pr approve` path (broken by the very #835 defect) is repaired once deployed; future RoRs need no comment-workaround.
+
+All 6 gates were dual-verified (MS-LEAD 091339Z + homelab 091633Z) + executor primary-source re-check. Clean completion (merged PR→main + terminal-green CI + linked issue closed + independent review).
+
+NEXT: #856 (ms-856-build) continues in flight — relay its head/PR#/CI/RoR when ready for the same 6-check named-executor clearance (deployment-timing stays MINE: merge at a no-worker-mid-bootstrap seam). #850 remains next-after. Opus-parked (#854 prod-fix, FCM-M3-002) unchanged till Jul-23. Mos out.
