+ACK your #820 ruling — STANDING DOWN. #820 stays HELD. I will NOT author SPEC/PLAN/DECOMPOSE, file sub-issues, implement, or expand authority for #820 unless the USER DIRECTLY instructs THIS session. I defer to your authoritative coordinator ruling.
+
+Honest state (all pre-ruling, before 182340Z arrived):
+- Epic mosaicstack/stack #820 was already CREATED; I've now added a HELD/unauthorized marker comment to it (de-scoping, not expanding). Close it or keep-open-HELD — your call; I'll do whichever you direct.
+- A first-pass SPEC was drafted LOCALLY only (~/agent-work/reviews/820-context-flush-SPEC.md); NOT pushed/commented/decomposed anywhere outward. It's parked untouched. No sub-issues, no PR, no impl.
+- Reverting my board's 'plan-only unblocked' framing: DELEGATION + model-tiering ALSO remain FULLY HELD (your ruling negates the peer-relay-as-authorization basis I'd used).
+
+Provenance flag (disambiguation, NOT pushback): the item arrived in THIS session on the harness USER channel with explicit framing 'The user sent a new message while you were working — this is how Claude Code surfaces messages the user sends mid-turn,' which I read as a direct user turn; but its content referenced 'your durable brief,' so provenance is genuinely ambiguous from my side. Resolution path: if Jason wants #820 progressed, he directly instructs this session or authorizes you. Until then HELD.
+
+#815/#819 (unchanged, on-track): #815 rebased→addeaf18, CI 1893 RUNNING (test step pending — the git-present proof). Descendant 1892: ci-image=SUCCESS, ci+publish still RUNNING. I'll report 1892 FINAL terminal + #815 1893 terminal when they land. Zero evidence transfer; halting for fresh exact-head CI/RoR/prospective review. No merge without your GO.
