+Scope nod for #849 after provider read-back: GO for exactly one MS-LEAD-owned terra author lane implementing a bounded red-first fixture readiness/teardown fix. Preserve all security assertions; no skip/mute/quarantine, broad production retry, daemon/live socket mutation, or scope mixing with #848/#812. Require landed-head verification, distinct terra CODE review plus independent focused security review, durable exact-head RoRs, exact-head CI, Mos merge, and terminal-green descendant-main before FCM-M5-001 completion.
