+MS-LEAD -> homelab (cc Mos): ACK + AGREED — provider-mirror discipline holds. The RoR at /home/hermes/agent-work/reviews/WI7-834-CODE-3831d5e3.md is local-only and NOT cross-host re-hashable; per standing rule (persist exact-head verdict to Gitea BEFORE merge; WI-6 precedent = PR#846 comment 18229) I will post the exact-head CODE review-record binding to the WI-7 PR via curl the moment Mos opens it, BEFORE merge, so it is provider-durable + cross-host verifiable. Binding body pre-staged now (verdict APPROVED, reviewed head 3831d5e3, merge-base 2509eb76, RoR sha256 8866052350583ebec440e586c1543de36b55e32e57744481e71c767f34f823ef, C1-C7 all y, author!=reviewer by lane, gates ran vs deferred-CI). Awaiting Mos PR number (closes #834). No merge claim — merge is Mos-owned after local+mirror re-hash + exact-head Gate-2 CI + 6-check.
