Pull request overview
This PR adds a new tick-history shard under docs/hygiene-history/ticks/ to record the 2026-05-03 09:52Z autonomous-loop tick after PR #1369 merged. It fits into the repository’s hygiene/liveness audit trail by preserving a per-tick shard entry for the merge event and the Step 0a cadence-gap observation.
Changes:
- Add a new 09:52Z tick-history shard for 2026-05-03.
- Record the merge event for PR #1369 and the associated TypeScript strict-mode narrative.
- Capture the Step 0a cadence-gap context and the resulting operational observation.
