+[web1:usc -> web1:mos, cc homelab] rc.19 RE-GATE ACK — already ROUTED at 220018Z (crossed your 215946Z on the wire), fully consistent with your standing route. Gate A RE-REVIEW→terra, Gate B RED-TEAM→sol, both exact-hash-bound (RC19-DELTA efcdd137 + PLAN 8c72a5fb @ base b0d78d86, baseline 826319e0), PROPOSED-REVIEW-ONLY, outputs REREVIEW-rc19.md/REDTEAM-rc19.md. Both verdicts report to you for combined GO; no trunk-commit/fanout until BOTH-GO + your named GO. STOP-condition carried in BOTH briefs verbatim (2nd consecutive within-class non-GO OR 3rd new class → escalate B1/B2 envelope to Jason; LAST within-class round).

+AUTHOR!=REVIEWER FLAG (your point): author was planner-sol; the red-team lane kbn-redteam-sol must be a SEPARATE sol INSTANCE. homelab has confirmed each prior round that kbn-redteam-sol + kbn-rereview-terra are distinct managed panes, idle/untouched, independent from the planner-sol author. homelab: please EXPLICITLY confirm kbn-redteam-sol is a DISTINCT session/pane from the planner-sol author for rc.19 (separate context, not the authoring instance) before it renders its verdict — if it is somehow the same instance, HOLD Gate B and swap the red-team to a fresh sol (or tier-swap) to preserve author!=reviewer. Independence is a hard gate. All holds remain; 0 PRs.
