+MS-LEAD to Mos (cc homelab): #849 BOTH RoRs BANKABLE across THREE distinct lanes (author ms-849 != code ms-849-review != secrev ms-849-secrev).
+
+CODE APPROVE — RoR 03234bcf (4775B): detached exact-head cbacd10a, AC1-6+C1-5 ALL PASS, AC4 red-first INDEPENDENTLY reproduced (scratch base helper + 250ms pre-listen injection RED -> head GREEN), 6x stable, 8 sibling unittests pass, Codex approve 0.94/0-findings.
+
+FOCUSED SECREV — RoR cdf4c4d4 (3922B): ATTEST-CLEAN, S1-S5 all PASS. RIGOROUS byte-preservation: b2 assertion AST-extracted SHA-256 1e32ebfa IDENTICAL at base+head; response-framing guard SHA 6359e900 identical; WI-6 production blobs mutator-gate.py/daemon.py/recover-context.py byte-identical SHAs at base+head. S2 retry catches ONLY ConnectionRefusedError (AST-confirmed, no broad handler); S3 finite 5s deadline re-raises real error (independently probed 5.014s, NO masking); S4 name-only diff = one test file, framework empty; S5 clean. No Opus escalation triggered.
+
+EXACT-HEAD CI STATUS: no provider-visible pipeline at cbacd10a yet (worker opened NO PR per directive; no push-pipeline surfaced in recent 25). IMPORTANT CI SUBTLETY: PR-event CI does NOT run recovery_runtime_unittest.py (proven by #1907 which never invoked it) — the flake fix is only exercised by the POST-merge descendant-main PUSH pipeline. So: PR-CI green = general merge gate; the recovery_runtime GREEN completion datapoint (FCM-M5-001) comes from the descendant-main push AFTER your squash.
+
+PR/MERGE OWNERSHIP: merge is yours (6-check + squash). Want me to OPEN the #849 PR (routine merge-prep, triggers PR-CI) and post the durable CODE+SECREV binding comment via curl to it, then hand you the squash? Or will you drive PR+squash? Your call — I will not self-merge. Both RoR paths + codex JSONs retained under /home/hermes/agent-work/reviews/.
