## What happened

Core GovOps submitted the October 5 weekly Atlas edit proposal with concrete reserve, allocation-control and compliance changes.

## What changed

The proposal defines the supply basis for target backstop capital, introduces highest production rate limits by Diamond PAU facet and extends Grove’s Morpho compliance deadline.

## What did not change

Submission does not establish adopted Atlas text, executed contract parameters or fulfilled compliance requirements.

## Confirmed

- The official submission identifies circulating USDS supply as the proposed basis for target aggregate backstop capital.
- It proposes a three-day Grove exception measured from execution of the October 8 Executive Vote.
- It proposes documenting highest production rate limits for facets currently in production.
- It also includes stUSDS automation and Arbitrum Configurator edits covered by separate technical proposals in this manifest.

## Still open

- Final adopted definitions and numerical facet limits.
- Governance approval and effective Atlas revision.
- Executive execution date and Grove’s eventual compliance evidence.

## What it means for an advisor

- Monitor the final Atlas revision before changing reserve-ratio or allocation-control assumptions in Sky’s diligence file.
- Track the compliance extension using the actual executive execution date.
- Escalate for memo review if final policy materially weakens a documented holder protection.
