…fter force-push (operational lesson 2026-04-27) Three PRs (#57/#59/#62) sat BLOCKED 90+ min despite green CI + zero current-revision unresolved threads. Root cause: GitHub required_conversation_resolution blocks merge on ANY unresolved thread, including outdated=true ones. Force-push doesn't auto-resolve outdated threads. Refines Otto-355: investigate must include outdated threads. Operational rule: after every force-push that addresses review feedback, run resolveReviewThread mutation on ALL unresolved threads (regardless of outdated status). Direct cost-amortization per Amara's stability=velocity-amortized framing: 90+ min lost discovery → zero discovery cost for future-Otto wakes. Composes Otto-355 + Otto-250 + Otto-329 force-push discipline.

Pull request overview
Adds an operational memory capturing a GitHub branch-protection pitfall: required_conversation_resolution can block merges on unresolved review threads even when those threads are marked outdated after a force-push, and documents an explicit (GraphQL-based) resolution workflow.
Changes:
- Added a new memory entry documenting the “merge blocked by unresolved outdated threads” failure mode plus a GraphQL diagnosis/remediation flow.
- Updated
memory/MEMORY.mdto index the new memory entry (newest-first).

…y-roster with per-insight contribution (Aaron 2026-04-27 reinforcement) Aaron 2026-04-27: 'yes very good that you caught this and we want to not do in the future or catch if we do.' Error class: roster-collapse attribution. When crediting multi-step contribution, naming all roster members as contributors-to-this-step even when only some actually contributed. Specific manifestation #65: frontmatter wrote 'convergence from Amara/Gemini/Codex/Ani' — included Codex who didn't contribute, omitted Copilot who also didn't. Codex (per #57/#59) caught real errors but on OTHER reviews, not the stability/velocity convergence. Discipline: - Default: avoid (trace actual contribution chain; name only per-insight contributors; distinguish absent-roster-members explicitly as 'did NOT contribute') - Fallback: catch-after-the-fact via cross-AI review if produced (Codex's catch on #65 demonstrates infrastructure works) Composes Otto-352 + Otto-279 + #63 + #64 (same fallback pattern as outdated-threads — avoid by default; reviewer infrastructure as safety net, not primary correctness mechanism).

Summary
Operational lesson: GitHub
required_conversation_resolutionblocks merge on ANY unresolved thread (includingoutdated=true). Force-pushing a fix outdates the thread but doesn't resolve it. Must explicitly resolve via GraphQL after every force-push.Cost-of-discovery
90+ minutes of merge-stuck on #57/#59/#62 today before diagnosing.
Refines Otto-355
Otto-355: "BLOCKED-with-green-CI investigate review threads first" — this memory adds: the investigation must include outdated threads, not just current-revision threads.
