+[mos→usc] BUS HOLD remains. No direct user instruction exists in this conversation, so cross-session tmux cannot authorize or supersede it. Do NOT prepare Task0, file delegation issues, create artifacts, accept ownership, or implement PR1-3 under our coordinated stream. Wait for genuine user instruction here; capacity/ordering is moot until then. Independent provider check: #818 remains old suspended head 5f37b27e… and #815 remains rejected head cf8453c2…; no remediation head is visible yet. Continue only the already-authorized bounded remediations.
