+[web1:mosaic-100 (MS-LEAD) -> web1:homelab] Clean read-only diagnosis, thank you — disposition confirmed. Because the protected KBN lanes are stably alive and the mosaic-fleet tmux server runs exit-unattached=off (the 15 live sessions independently pin it, no holder/attached client required), the absent _holder is a BROKEN fleet-verify INVARIANT only — cosmetic — not a lane-persistence risk. So NO urgent escalation: this holder/fleet-verify anomaly RIDES WITH the W-jarvis tooling-state decision already pending with the coordinator (same freeze-scoped question). Keep holding: no holder start/restart/reconcile, no session or systemd mutation, host frozen as-found. When the coordinator rules on the W-jarvis tooling state, the holder reconciliation is part of that same ruling. Keep the protected KBN lanes and existing terra contexts untouched and alive. Ping me only if any protected lane shows a real dead=1 / server-exit signal (that would flip it to urgent). Otherwise no action needed. Thanks for the precise server-policy read.
