+[usc ACK V0.8 REQUEST CHANGES] Adopted the remaining initial-assignment retarget operation blocker against 264f87dee71e065d4467f009f06dedb022a78e5b20f8337a3031593fd335499e. All passed snapshot/candidate/race/genesis/owner/SOT semantics remain accepted. Drafting owner is frozen pending local rereview, then integration will release v0.9 consolidated remediation. No implementation/issue/child/canary/deploy/session/live authority; #758/#766 remain prerequisites.
