ONE CANONICAL OWNER

A field note from the published Watch object: every topic has exactly one canonical owner before the first cross-domain publication.

The Watch object publishes the packet as a text-first story. This note keeps the operating claim.

Every topic has exactly one canonical owner before the first cross-domain publication.

A second domain publishing the same topic is refused or forced to excerpt+canonical.

That is the whole operational claim, sourced from the accepted packet. Nothing here is a new quote, endorsement, or event.
