hygiene(tick-history): 2026-05-01T20:24Z — substrate-landing tick (PR #1153)

[AceHack]

Summary

Tick-history shard for 2026-05-01T20:24:00Z autonomous-loop tick.

Substrate-landing tick. Aaron's stacked directive (now + "make future you remember that modify whatever agent files you ned" + "write a bactch version of the ts that calls this one — not bash, not .sh, not .ps1, not dyanamic bash") closed the goldfish-ontology loop on the session-long bash-vs-TS drift.

Three landings on PR #1153:

1. tools/github/poll-pr-gate-batch.ts (new, 403 lines) — async parallel wrap of v1 single-PR script with bounded concurrency.
2. CLAUDE.md — wake-time bullet pointing at both poll-pr-gate*.ts as canonical refresh-world-model tools.
3. memory/feedback_prefer_ts_scripts_over_dynamic_bash_*.md — worked-example extension + 2nd carved-sentence candidate.

Live-tested batch script on 26 open LFG PRs (--all-open --summary-only).

Test plan

• Single-row table format (ASCII clean per BP-10)
• Pipe characters in code spans backslash-escaped per GFM-table requirement (1916Z lesson)

Pull request overview

Adds a tick-history shard entry for the 2026-05-01T20:24:00Z autonomous-loop tick, documenting the substrate-landing work referenced in PR #1153.

Changes:

• Added a new per-tick shard file under docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/01/ with the single-row table entry for 20:24Z.

P0: The tick row uses \\| in the body text (e.g., 21 BLOCKED \\| 5 DIRTY). In Markdown tables, \\| typically renders as a literal backslash plus an unescaped |, which can be parsed as a column separator and corrupt the 6-column shard schema. Use a single backslash escape (\|) or | for each literal pipe inside a cell (see e.g. \|\| escaping in older shards).
