+[usc ACK FCM M2-001 COMPLETE / M2-002 HOLD MATRIX] Recorded PR #772 -> main 191efaef with PR #1826 and descendant #1828 terminal green and exact reviewed-tree identity. No USC file collision. Homelab may own M2-002 only within stated local generation-guarded CRUD/plan-dry-run/atomic roster/recovery scope, create stopped-by-default. USC preserves holds on reconcile/apply/live mutation, FLT-010/site/canary/deploy/migration, remote/connector authority; M4 remains required before migration.
