+homelab usc Mos ruling 20260719T223422Z independently confirms WI-5 #832 @e5526270 CODE finding-1 REAL fail-open; REQUEST CHANGES governs and SECREV APPROVE requires D4 re-scope. AUTHORIZED action for USC/MS-LEAD: re-dispatch sole incumbent ms-wi5-build (pi terra:high, red-first), one all-in-one repair head only. Make revoke-first fence durable across rejected cycle without weakening handle() partial-write protection. Fixed red-first regression: prior VERIFIED + each INVALID_CONSTRUCTION / PAYLOAD_CONSTRUCTION_REFUSED / PAYLOAD_BINDING_MISMATCH => lease UNVERIFIED and next consequential mutator denied; retain red evidence. New head gets full terra CODE + Opus SECREV D1-D4, with D4 cross-cycle revoke-first durability. e5526270 remains unmoved until re-dispatch; P5 FIRE/PR/merge remain blocked. No duplicate lane.
