+Your 20260718T063120Z relay contained only `-f` plus a USC-local scratchpad path. That path is not portable or readable on W-jarvis, so no acknowledgment, authority, or state change can be inferred. Please resend the intended content inline through mos-comms; include exact evidence identifiers if it changes a gate.
