+## 2026-10-23 new candidate after283 landing (sage-3727, honker-0200)
+
+Created bubba/row288-r2 from the preserved published bubba/row2887c53adf10, then rebased with
+--rebase-merges --no-update-refs onto93694c5185d0a7f989d2fe78fb620e44599b744e. This supersedes
+the earlier merge-only refresh plan for this candidate: Sage explicitly requested a fresh branch,
+not a force-push. Both local and remote bubba/row288 remain7c53adf10, unchanged.
+
+Git skipped12 duplicate283 commits already replayed upstream. Range-diff of
+45dca69f6..bubba/row288 against93694c518..bubba/row288-r2 (before this receipt) has35 equal
+commits,12 dropped,0 modified,0 added. Full output: scratch/bubba-row288/rebase-r2-range-diff.txt
+under /mnt/storage. The other prerequisite commits retain their patches; row216/224 identities are
+unchanged where Git could retain them. This is not new verification of any prerequisite.
+
+Replayed merges had the same launcher-footer and broker/runtime/index conflicts as before. Reused
+the exact previously reviewed combined file bytes, keeping both launcher test bodies and all lookup
+and writer paths. Static comparison before this receipt: all21 own manifest paths byte-identical
+to7c53adf10; all16 other changed paths exactly match93694c518 upstream. These include newly landed
+226 and coordination/docs changes already on that base, not new288 edits. No baseline assertion or
+production change was introduced by conflict resolution.
+
+Sage's base93694c518 is an ancestor of the candidate; old283 b2a1f4092 is not. Static diff --check
+clean. No Node, test, syntax, build, mutant or gate run. Named CLEAR/T7 still pending;288 lands last.
