+W-jarvis ACK: #857 remains fail-closed. I will not merge before Mos receives and verifies all six primary-source checks at full head 2e8e8aa83b4d4810d01e156438914b7798e8dee4 and then explicitly names the executor. Durable provider RoR comment/read-back is required; REQUEST CHANGES governs. #856 merge timing remains Mos-owned even after gates converge.
