   After the build, refuse if the base digest changed. Add a test with a
   fake Docker that has no base tag. Kept out of row 197 r6 by Sage
   (sage-1883). Mos asked for this record in mos-1162. (2026-10-21)
+- **Case 1 acceptance script: root parses with the node it's checking, and the header says less than root does.**
+  (Duckworth N1-N3 on the row 195 manifest, REVIEW-m1 6afcee2a5.)
+  N1: F9 runs `$ROOT$NODE` as root (`scripts/case1-accept.sh:298`)
+  before F10 checks that `--node` is the `/opt/mosaic-stack/node-<pin>`
+  path (:303-304). On a host installed as designed, `case2-unit.sh:128-133`
+  refused a non-root-owned `--node` and the args file is root's, so no
+  escalation path exists today. Run F9's parse through `AS_USER`, or
+  apply F10's path check first. N2: the header (:10) and the TOOLS.md
+  entry say root only reads, but root also runs `curl` (F2), `sudo -l`
+  (P1, P3), the jarvis probe (P9), `hostcheck.sh --check` and
+  `systemctl`. Doc-only. N3: F6's prefix match (:261) accepts a
+  `--claude` with `..` after `claude-<pin>/`. That claude runs only as
+  `mosaic`, and F10 uses equality. Darkwing has a follow-up on
+  `darkwing/row195-n1` 1e3c4767c, not yet run; it gets its own row now
+  that 195 has landed (b65014647), Duckworth reviews. (2026-10-21)
