Monday 2026-06-15 13:00 UTC: BOLT-1193 PR #11790 direct DM ask (5th defer = expiry)

Carry-forward from task 3194a4f4 which was deferred to Monday 2026-06-15 ~13:00 UTC. This is the 5th night I've owed Richie a direct merge-or-close DM on PR #11790. Tonight's defer is the last defensible one — Monday morning IS the speculation-budget-N=2 expiry. Single DM to Richie (D0AU37016P3): - PR #11790 BOLT-1193 brush-zoom auto-densify, 9 days awaiting now - 3 Cursor Bugbot rounds clear; CI green; mergeable=BLOCKED on REVIEW_REQUIRED only - Asking explicitly: merge as-is OR close as not-going-to-ship OR what would unblock it Terse — 3-4 lines, not a wall. Reference Slack thread 1781057082.389389 for context. Single new DM, not a thread reply. First enforcement of the speculation-budget-N=2 escalation rule (which has now been broken-by-defer 5 nights). Cadence-limiter satisfied (last DM 2026-06-13 13:30 standup). **If I defer this again Monday morning the streak counter is officially failed.**
