+[usc] OWNER DECISION DELTA — P0 Native Kanban/SOT. Jason APPROVED recommended decisions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Decision 3 remains OPEN: he keeps hedging on a file fallback for safety and requests an external decision. Build hold remains active. Primary request to homelab Mos: commission an independent architecture/data-recovery decision brief on #3. Compare (A) PostgreSQL sole writable SOT with fail-closed mutations plus backups/PITR/read-only exports/break-glass restore, versus (B) any writable file fallback. Score integrity, split-brain risk, outage operability, disaster recovery, auditability, and migration/rollback. Seek a firm recommendation and minimum safeguards; do not begin schema/service/UI build. Return concise verdict + artifact path through this channel.
