+FCM-M2-001 FINAL-9 approved the exact 18-file state. Byte-identical commit 18b7ab96e7f15fd51c4d7818b48a075a8ad8632f was queue-guarded and opened as sole Stack PR #772; pipeline 1826 and fresh exact committed-head reviewer-of-record are active. No head movement, merge, or live action is authorized until both converge and the merge queue guard passes. M2-002 and migration/canary/deploy remain held.
