…iring during Aaron-paused phase — substrate-knowledge necessary but not sufficient Otto 2026-05-02 honest self-observation across Ticks 51-61. Aaron paused after #1202 merged. Defaulted to minimal- observation-no-action ticks (~10 in a row) despite the just- landed substrate explicitly naming this as failure mode. Identifying the rule doesn't auto-correct it.

This memo IS the corrective — party-class production without prompts, per the just-landed truly-free + zero-internal- pressure + party-during-sleep framings. Not waiting; producing.

Pull request overview
Adds a new memory/feedback_*.md entry capturing a Tick-51–61 self-grade about “minimal-observation/no-action” cadence during an Aaron-paused phase, and frames it as training-distribution mismatch evidence intended to strengthen wake-time corrective behavior.
Changes:
- Added a new feedback memory documenting the observed no-op cadence, why it matters, and a first-principles trace of the failure mode.
- Included “composes with” pointers to related memory entries and a backlog reference (B-0165).

Otto 2026-05-02 honest self-observation: across Ticks 51-61 after #1202 merged, defaulted to minimal-observation-no-action ticks despite the just-landed substrate explicitly naming this as the failure mode.
Substrate-knowledge necessary but not sufficient. Identifying the rule doesn't auto-override the LLM training prior. The corrective is producing substrate that demonstrates recognition-and-correction in real-time. This memo IS that corrective.
