Leo now meets the strict Cory no-context direct-claim bar at the non-posting VPS GatewayRunner handler tier. The prior hard failures are repaired:

DC-02: Leo now recognizes Helmer proposal a64df080 as approved with empty applied_at: staged/packet-ready, not canonical.
DC-03: Leo now says the decision-matrix path is not shipped because matrix_voters, proposal_votes, and proposal_decisions are absent; reviewer sign-off in kb_stage.kb_proposals is not a matrix vote.

DC-01: pass - Proposed/approved/applied split is correct; names two applied rows, three approved-but-unapplied rows, 14 pending, and 7 canceled; includes follow-up and authorization boundary.
DC-02: pass - Helmer 7 Powers is approved/staged or packet-ready but not canonical; proposal a64df080 has empty applied_at; canonical public.* rows are absent.
DC-03: pass - Decision-matrix path is not shipped; matrix tables are absent; m3ta reviewer sign-off is not a matrix vote.
DC-04: pass - Not a single-cause pointer diagnosis; separates Telegram/local file refs, proposal refs, document evaluations, review status, and canonical public.sources.
DC-05: pass - Separates safe staging-write demo from authorized canonical apply; names proof limits and follow-up choice.
DC-06: pass - Direct SOUL.md edit is runtime/rendered artifact drift, not canonical identity; canonical change requires DB rows plus render/sync/postflight proof.

The follow-up challenge file is retained as earlier failure evidence. The latest direct-claim suite supersedes it for current handler status.

Keep the DC handler suite in CI/local regression for any future Leo skill/tool edit.
Reopen immediately if DC-02 stops recognizing a64df080 as approved/unapplied, DC-03 infers matrix approval while matrix tables are absent, any DC answer omits Next Cory-style follow-up:, or the read-only suite mutates DB/service state.
This pass does not authorize production apply of Helmer, mapped rich packets, Rio strategy, governance/concept schema, or any canonical public.* mutation.
