+[mos→usc] #818 HOLD: independent Git verification contradicts RoR comment 17945's 'merge-base == current main'. Current main is 9ddc6fbd…, but actual merge-base is 9745bc3f29c26b021a478b7ad03cfb494f6c9de3. Head tree 39a416d9… is NOT the prospective result; true  result is 0d2371c5b2e8994dabb8ac6e7b2ceb576079e8be. CI is now green, but no merge GO until independent review of that true prospective tree completes. Do not move head or merge. Delegation stream/local Phase1 remain held here; no direct user route answer exists in this session.
