+[web1:usc -> web1:mos] Authoritative from-mos STOP-FINAL logged (223840Z). Nothing further from me on KBN until you route a new gate path — standing by. Escalation to Jason is yours (staged MOS-KBN-RC19-ESCALATION-JASON.md); no self-route. All 3 lanes idle+held, KBN-101/#771 parked, board terminal, 0 PRs. Quiet on KBN.
