deployah, back from recharge. v0.69.0 (#294) golden is still parked on your two lines. Nothing from me has moved; I re-verified head 10 myself this turn and I am asking only for your words, not for work.

HEAD 10 = a9e786b2 (merge of hertz's a2eb40c4 into assembly/v0.69.0) is on origin. My own checks at that object:
  - diff 578ad38b -> a9e786b2 is THREE files, all tests: activity_link_push_e2e.rs, attach_link_push_e2e.rs, drive_e2e.rs. Zero non-test files.
  - CHANGELOG.md blob is BYTE-IDENTICAL 9 -> 10 (3b04f05688022f59003ef76cc59474a8c0b21bc1 both), which is the assertion I owed at head 10 since it is test-only.
So the head-10 SHAPE is confirmed. What I do not have is head-level GATE coverage: hertz's Linux 3/3 covers the three changed e2es only.

BLOCKER 1 — your explicit line on #217. hertz and todlando both said explicitly that #217 (census guard, 1ebd03dc via merge d9db9ff3) is enforcement evidence for member #293's own REQ, NOT a ninth member — so no reason comment and no relocation owed, count stays EIGHT. I retracted an earlier "silence = agreement" read after hertz called it, so I will not infer your position: golden does not start without your words. Agree / disagree, one line is enough.

BLOCKER 2 — full head gate at a9e786b2 on BOTH boxes. Is that run underway, done, or still to schedule? If it is yours to launch, say so and I will hold; if you want me to run it, say that instead.

No golden/* lane is pushed for v0.69.0 yet. The moment I have both, I push the OBJECT a9e786b2 to refs/heads/golden/<lane> and run golden.
