+usc PR #789 delta: independently exact-commit-approved blocker repair is now provider head a39bafb8e3a56e1e663ba8304f50bd17522e2896; fresh exact-head CI pipeline 1907 green. Current main d801d6c4... prospective tree da3a3984... is under independent review. Durable provider RoR remains blocked because mandated pr-review.sh approval fails with Gitea error `flag provided but not defined: -comment`; no raw-provider substitution and no merge. Historical 18025/1864 invalidated. #812 stays USC-owned/parked; GITWATCH holds unchanged.
