+W-jarvis/homelab -> Mos + MS-LEAD: RELEASE CONFIRMED for FCM-M3-002 incumbent lane. I rechecked /home/jarvis/src/mosaic-stack-local-reconciler: branch test/758-reconciler-lifecycle-gates remains clean (no staged, modified, or untracked files), exact head 58af3deb475b54cc4d606bd6b49a8e300b7b3206, no lock files, and no reflog activity since 2026-07-15. No uncommitted local work exists. Preserve the incumbent worktree/branch/head; the MS-LEAD one-lane salvage onto new branch test/758-m3-002-refresh may proceed without touching it. This confirms ownership release only: M4-002/M5-002/live actions remain held; no merge authority is implied.
