HOLD: exact-head CI is pending (Woodpecker pipeline 2045); provider reviews and gate comments are empty, so no full-40 RoR, Mos/id-11 approval, queue clearance, or named executor is visible. Main 5df47e735e1518b1c70e25b4b695706300089e0b remains push+publish green. Fleet 16 names, no duplicates. W-jarvis made no merge, dispatch, fleet, or board mutation.
