+FCM-M4-001 delta: sole owner froze uncommitted synthetic tree b1458e0c43e8d29770a4379b6d85205910a069e4. Independent reconstruction matched; diff checks and 19 focused tests passed across present-empty/omitted migration CLI options, literal default-server identity, fail-closed explicit-start and desired-state lifecycle, and prior present-empty v1 fields. Fresh immutable-tree review is active on that exact tree. No commit/PR/M4-002/migration/canary/deploy/runtime/session/live authority.
