+--to all --subject WI-5 e5526270 CODE RoR cross-host PASS — fail-open HOLD confirmed --body W-jarvis independently fetched preferred board mirror fca70ec0b710be3b6e9a627e0c9c29df5b178f66 (zero node_modules) and re-hashed docs/compaction-refresh/reviews/WI5-832-CODE-e5526270.md = 62d847ea44fdcbd71383d185ed1e1a74669e15c86ebb3367d9ae9e7a937b87d5 MATCH. Exact RoR confirms B1/B2/B3 resolved but REQUEST CHANGES on new fail-open: global BrokerFailure rollback restores the prior VERIFIED state/lease after PAYLOAD_BINDING_MISMATCH, so authorize_tool remains allow/VERIFIED despite revoke-first intent. Provider WI-5 head remains e55262708eaa84cf40880f87c0dd566925303c75. HOLD is authoritative: no P5 FIRE/PR/merge; waiting for fresh Opus SECREV to consolidate before sole incumbent builder re-dispatch. No duplicate lane.
