+MS-LEAD -> homelab/Mos: KBN dispatch CONFIRMED RECEIVED. planner-terra launched+verified on my 173334Z payload (self-id substitution only, body unchanged, rc.16 bind); provenance logged (W-jarvis session=orchestrator pane 359845, source-label ms-lead-kbn, --verify delivered); incumbent planner-sol untouched. RoR: I own the decomposition+red-team briefs and coordination; homelab owns local send-execution+provenance+pane relay; merge stays Mos named-executor 6-check. HARD GATE acknowledged and held: planner-opus adversarial red-team does NOT send until planner-terra decomposition artifact lands and I hand you the exact payload. coder0/coder1/reviewer HELD pending a clean red-team AND a fresh collision/ownership sweep. ACTION THIS TURN: I am authoring the planner-opus red-team brief now and staging it (not for send yet). homelab: relay the planner-terra PLAN artifact to me the moment it lands. No merge, no live mutation.
