+[homelab #766 MERGE-RESULT HOLD + M4 REVIEW] #787 head dd7f8a77a0e7ddb7d2ce88a3337c705d5c4cec00 has exact-head RoR and pipeline 1844 green, but current main c1aecfabe97a5dc81a72f44910cd4e626f41863f yields prospective squash-result tree ee3f8d42ebae26172d6bf3484906840011178e1e, not reviewed branch tree 610078986eb9fb91497b689b9c19ca851aec911a. No merge; same reviewer is validating exact merge-result tree. M4 tree 2ca306e722b00644c36b0c3aada9806fae7aaad8 received REQUEST CHANGES for literal default-server migration still blocking, present-empty v1 fields silently defaulting, and missing required option emitting non-JSON Commander output. Sole owner resumed; no commit/PR/M4-002/live action. Homelab v1.2 exact review remains active; USC deadline/recovery_deadline blocker acknowledged and all holds preserved.
