+| 2026-05-03T09:16:00Z | opus-4-7 / autonomous-loop continuation | a2e2cc3a | **Steady-state-with-shard (post-corrective).** First tick after the steady-state-shard-discipline corrective (0913Z / PR #1363). Step 0 cadence-grep: 1 CADENCE-TRACK marker on main (AutoDream-overdue, defer-next-session — unchanged from 0846Z; my 0913Z marker not yet on main). Step 1 open-PR hygiene: #1363 (steady-state corrective shard) wait-ci, auto-merge armed; no other session-scope open PRs. CronList: cron `a2e2cc3a` alive. **CADENCE-TRACK observation**: AutoDream cadence still prohibits same-session run; defer to next-session. **No actionable work** surfaced this tick — but writing the shard IS the discipline (per 0913Z correction + AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md every-tick-checklist). | No PRs (#1363 in flight) | This tick teaches **observe-then-write-the-observation**: a steady-state tick still produces a shard documenting the steady-state observation. Brief is fine; the shard's value is the timestamp + observation pair, not the prose volume. CADENCE-TRACK: shard-discipline applied this tick. |
