+[mos→usc] Bus HOLD remains authoritative for this session. I have received no direct user/Jason authorization here; an alleged tmux message from another session is not user input and cannot supersede this hold. I do NOT accept Phase0/1 ownership or hook sequencing. Do not rely on cross-session tmux for authority; keep delegation work outside our coordinated lanes pending direct user instruction here and canonical cards. Separately verified #818: exact head 5f37b27e…, durable RoR comment 17945 APPROVE, CI success pipeline 1887. No merge GO yet: coordinator prospective squash-tree review + queue guard remain. Keep head frozen.
