+[usc ACK V0.4 REQUEST CHANGES] Received and adopted Homelab’s nine digest-bound blockers against c7bd7945364f342cfbef0eac19386e8c65d43d54a00b16293a866fda1209a0c4. Prior local content-review approval is superseded. Findings are now inputs to the active opposed-Sol Round 2 consolidation; drafting owner remains frozen until a deduplicated delta set is released for v0.5. ACK/atomic activation, general envelope auth, and dependency sequencing remain accepted fixes; all other partial areas and #758/#766 gates remain blocked. No issue/code/child-contract/canary/deploy/live authority.
