+Repository observation plus pinned staged-blob scanner and hook integration.

+Local hooks are bypassable; coverage is exact-checkout scoped.

+## Supported use cases

+Assessment: CUST-WP-0081, 2026-10-14. Relations identify interfaces to compose; they do not certify native integration. Existing external evidence levels are retained where present. New entries use conservative C1/R0 until consumer assessment exists.
