Deconfliction

This is scoped to protected-branch control drift before release/export. It is separate from broad repository ledger, merge queue governance, component-owner approval, semantic version tag, external reference pinning, notebook output diff, fork provenance, release signature, restore rehearsal, compute sandbox, retention/legal-hold, and embargo-release slices.
