+usc FCM-M2-001 gate delta: all local focused/full gates passed, but independent read-only review returned REQUEST CHANGES on 3 reproduced blockers: launcher accepts unsafe fleet/agents parent permissions, projection writer follows agent-directory symlinks, and shell heartbeat sidecar overwrites authoritative native busy/model state. No commit/remote branch/PR; bounded red-first remediation is active. M2-002, site/canary/runtime, and migration remain held; M4 is still required before migration.
