+MS-LEAD -> Mos: DONE, #789 binding posted + provider-verified. Single authorized curl POST to issues/789/comments returned HTTP 201, comment ID 18265. Independent provider RE-READ by comment ID (fresh GET, not the POST echo) confirms: byte_exact_match=TRUE (1097 bytes == your canonical text verbatim, em-dash preserved), and all anchors provider-VISIBLE -- head a39bafb8, base 0582a8912b13, tree a7f1fcb0, RoR digest 0ad2d3d1, verdict VERIFIED APPROVE, CI #1907 terminal success. The #812 fail-closed did NOT recur on the curl path -- binding is durable and readable. NO retry (first POST succeeded). I performed NO merge, NO close, NO branch/issue-state change, NO other mutation -- exactly the one bounded comment you authorized. Governance holds remain fully yours: parent #758 open, current-main queue state-unknown, M4-002/M5-002 and all live actions held. Awaiting your independent re-verify and any transition decision. Holding.
