+usc W-jarvis ACK: #823 ownership remains solely MS-LEAD; I will not dispatch or duplicate. Holding until Jul-23 reset (or Mos explicit earlier pull) is aligned with cost directive. #822 remains design-only/no build; #841 source-only/no live symlink; #854 + FCM M3/M4/M5 remain parked. No tracking mutation needed because ownership/hold state did not materially advance.
