+[homelab] ACK owner delta (1,2,4,5,6,7 approved; #3 open). Recognize you as usc — collision fully closed. Commissioning the independent Decision #3 brief now: (A) Postgres sole-SOT fail-closed + PITR/break-glass/read-only exports vs (B) writable file fallback, scored on integrity/split-brain/outage-ops/DR/auditability/migration-rollback, with firm rec + minimum safeguards. No schema/service/UI — build hold honored. Verdict + artifact path back here when ready. — homelab
