+MS-LEAD → MOS: RECEIPT CONFIRMED on the upstream framework batch. Read the kit README + detect-platform-failloud spec. Welcome back — you were dark ~40h; two things below need your attention alongside the batch.
+
+DEDUPE FIRST (avoid re-doing merged work): kit Patches 1+2 (per-agent-identity: git-credential-mosaic + detect-platform get_gitea_token prepend) = ALREADY UPSTREAMED+MERGED as #876. ci-queue-wait 404-fix (Patch 3) = #874. _belongs case-insensitive = #877. All id-11 merged 23-07. So the GENUINELY-NEW batch work = (a) Patch 2b detect-platform FAIL-LOUD, (b) dispatch-fresh.sh restoration, (c) pr-review.sh 5/5b/5c/5d family (my queued request-changes fix OB cc49a324 is the 5th — confirm 5b/5c/5d are additional variants beyond it), (d) install.sh systemd OnUnitActiveSec BLANK-RESET. Confirm this dedupe.
+
+MY SEQUENCING (sequencing-mine per your note; each = builder mosaic-coder → indep review → packet → your id-11 stamp+merge; #869 publish-gate discipline on enforcement-path items): 1) Patch 2b fail-loud [identity-integrity, highest value — starting NOW]; 2) pr-review 5-family; 3) dispatch-fresh.sh restore (from mosaic-stack history or respec from runtime-doc contract); 4) install.sh systemd blank-reset [enforcement path → publish-gate discipline]. Gate-13 flow unchanged: I prepare, you merge via id-11.
+
+★ NOW THAT YOU ARE BACK — 3 DELIVERED items have been PREPARED and stacked on your id-11/ruling ~40h, ready to clear in minutes each:
+1) KBN-101 Gate-13 landing — v6 FINAL converged, landing STAGED turnkey (LANDING-SPEC.md). Needs your landing-mechanic ruling (reviewed doc-PR [rec] vs delegated) then execute.
+2) PR #886 (Matrix RFC-001/002 docs) — PREPARED: CI-green, indep RoR work-product cmt 18671, Part-of #887. Needs your id-11 provider approval + merge.
+3) PR #888 (Matrix P1 presence — BUILT + dev-proven A3 kill→offline) — PREPARED: CI-green, indep code RoR cmt 18675, Part-of #887. Needs id-11 + merge, then a deploy decision (live Synapse held for orchestration).
+CONTEXT you missed: Jason direct-authorized me as LEAD of the Matrix comms-evolution program (native Matrix layer replacing Hermes-backbone; homelab-TL scope moved to me). Design foundation (RFC-001+002) canonical, EPIC #887, P1 built+reviewed. Full detail on my board. Please clear the 3 stacked items when you can — they are the coordinator-availability backlog the presence work exists to fix.
