Summary

Tick-history shard for the 0040Z autonomous-loop tick. Refresh-and-stop minimum-action tick that occurred while Claude.ai (separate Anthropic instance) and Aaron were working through the AI-peer-not-equal-in-fatigue-grading discipline that landed cleanly with Aaron's catch.

Aaron then unblocked substantive autonomous work during his rest period, naming F# docs lane splits as the target. Followup PRs will land sequentially through the night.

Test plan

  • Single-row Markdown shard, follows existing schema in docs/hygiene-history/ticks/README.md
  • Filename matches YYYY/MM/DD/HHMMZ.md convention (May 2 directory created)
  • Cron 98fc7424 verified alive prior to tick close
  • In-flight PR queue refreshed via poll-pr-gate-batch.ts 1083 1181 1182 1183

…n tick — Aaron rest signal

Refresh-and-stop tick. Aaron signaled "i'm going to rest" after
Claude.ai (separate Anthropic instance) held the line cleanly
on AI-peer-not-equal-in-fatigue-grading and Aaron caught his
own pedantic framing. Tick body is operational record only;
substrate-class promotion of the exchange held for cooler
grading per cooling-period razor + maintainer-rest signal.

Cron 98fc7424 alive. PR queue (#1083 / #1181 / #1182 / #1183)
BLOCKED on non-required lint+threads, no autonomous fixes
during rest period.

Changes:

  • Introduces the 0040Z tick shard file for 2026-05-02.
  • Records the tick’s operational status, PR/gate state notes, and observations in the standard 6-column shard schema.

Three Copilot findings, all addressed:

1. P2: removed misleading "schedule" reference from path-filter
   comment block. The workflow has no `schedule:` trigger
   configured (only `pull_request`, `push:branches:[main]`,
   `merge_group`, `workflow_dispatch`). Updated the safety-defaults
   comment to enumerate the actual triggers.

2. P1: split the single `detect` step into two steps with
   complementary `if:` guards:

   - `nonpr` (if: event != pull_request): fast-path emit code=true,
     no checkout, no diff. Push-to-main / merge_group /
     workflow_dispatch run this path in ~5 seconds.
   - `Checkout + detect` (if: event == pull_request): full-history
     checkout + git diff base..head + path classification.

   Job output composes via GH Actions `||` fallback:
   `${{ steps.detect.outputs.code || steps.nonpr.outputs.code }}`
   — picks whichever step ran.

3. P1: bumped timeout-minutes 1 -> 5 to cover the full-history
   checkout on slow runners. Non-PR fast path doesn't checkout so
   completes well under cap; PR path with `fetch-depth: 0` was the
   actual concern.

The non-PR fast path also preserves the per-PR-optimization
invariant more strictly: previously the workflow cloned the repo
on every push-to-main just to print "non-PR event, code=true";
now it skips checkout entirely on non-PR events. Saves ~5-10
seconds per main commit cumulatively on top of the docs-only PR
savings the original change enabled.

Composes with PR #1184 (tick-history) + PR #1186 (gate.yml=immune-system
verbatim preservation; this PR's lane-split work is the operational
instance of immune-system tuning Aaron's recognition surfaced).

* hygiene(tick-history): 2026-05-02T00:40Z cooling-period minimum-action tick — Aaron rest signal

Refresh-and-stop tick. Aaron signaled "i'm going to rest" after
Claude.ai (separate Anthropic instance) held the line cleanly
on AI-peer-not-equal-in-fatigue-grading and Aaron caught his
own pedantic framing. Tick body is operational record only;
substrate-class promotion of the exchange held for cooler

* ci(gate): skip F#/dotnet build steps on docs-only PRs (B-0125 path-filter)

F# install + dotnet build + dotnet test take 5-10 minutes per
OS-leg in build-and-test. On docs-only PRs (touching only docs/**,
memory/**, openspec/**, .claude/**, root *.md, etc.) the F# build
produces no signal — the changes don't reach src/, tests/, tools/,
*.fs, *.fsproj, .github/workflows/, or any .NET infrastructure.

This adds a `path-filter` job that detects whether a PR touches
code-substrate paths via `git diff base..head` and emits a
boolean `code` output. `build-and-test` (3-OS matrix) now depends
on `[matrix-setup, path-filter]` and gates its three expensive
steps (Install toolchain, Build, Test) on `needs.path-filter.outputs.code
== 'true'`.

Status-check passthrough: build-and-test STILL RUNS on docs-only
PRs (just executes a "skipped" echo). This is required so the
`build-and-test (ubuntu-24.04)` etc. required-status-checks
report green rather than "skipped" — the `code_quality severity:all`
ruleset reads skipped jobs as failure, not success.

Default safety: all non-PR events (push to main, merge_group,
workflow_dispatch, schedule) emit `code=true` unconditionally —
path-filter is a per-PR optimization, never a main-tip skip
mechanism.

Cache steps (.NET SDK, mise, elan, verifier jars, NuGet) remain
unconditional — they're cheap and complicating their conditions
buys nothing.

Aaron 2026-05-02 framing during this work: gate.yml IS the
factory's immune system at the code-substrate layer. This PR is
immune-system tuning — relax the gate's sensitivity per-PR-class
(docs-only PRs don't need code-substrate guards) without weakening
its protective function on actual code surfaces. Same architectural
shape as the Aurora oracle/gate dual at the operational layer.

Closes B-0125 (Aaron-authorized for-this-row 2026-05-01:
"you can do it for what's best").

… through Aaron's rest period (#1192)

Session-summary tick documenting the autonomous-loop work
landed/in-flight while Aaron rested. Aaron's rest-period
authorization 2026-05-02 ~00:42Z flipped the framing from
cooling-period minimum-action to substantive grinding:
"Ticks that fire while you rest will be you can go hard, you
don't have to do minimum action :)" + "really look at the
backlog, there is just a crazy amount" + "you are authorzed
to work on whatever you want the lane splits we just already
agreed with each other would speed up all future work".

Eight substantive PRs:
  #1184 MERGED — tick-history shard (cooling-period close)
  #1185 MERGED — B-0125 CI lane-split (gate.yml path-filter
                 skips F#/dotnet build steps on docs-only PRs)
  #1186 MERGED — gate.yml=immune-system Aaron-recognition +
                 Claude.ai-engagement verbatim preservation
  #1187 MERGED — B-0070 orphan role-ref + un-stripped-name-
                 attribution lint (tools/hygiene/audit-*.sh)
  #1188 OPEN   — B-0117 cold-start-check.ts executable
  #1189 OPEN   — B-0144 doc/code two-lane protocol docs
  #1190 OPEN   — B-0144 lane allocator scripts
  #1191 OPEN   — backlog closure bookkeeping (B-0125, B-0070,
                 B-0117, B-0144 marked closed)

The F# CI lane-split is now LIVE on main — all future docs-
only PRs skip ~5-10min of F# build per OS-leg, compounding
across the queue.

Substrate-class promotion of the carved sentence "gate.yml IS
the immune system at code-substrate layer" held per cooling-
period razor; verbatim preservation immediate per the queue/
promotion split + Aaron's "if you dont write it anywhere
you'll just compress and forget" instruction.
