Review 172 on PR #1278 (head 99b8f6ea): forge suite 116/116 executed at
head, workspace typecheck 45/45, consumer sweep clean, digest gate
before==after. CI red on the PR is the lane-wide fleet-test failure only
and carries no information about the change (fred, log-content analysis).
Continuation by fargo (sb-it-1-dt) per Jason; identity incident and fred's
ruling recorded in the scratchpad. Wave 2 (RI-2-002 + RI-4-001) next.
