Summary

Triage research-grade audit of the 8 currently-open PRs on Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta with PR# < 1500 in BLOCKED or DIRTY state: #1200, #1183, #1182, #1181, #1107, #1106, #659, #655.

For each: title + age + author + purpose + concrete block cause + unresolved-thread breakdown + salvageability + recommended disposition. Read-only audit — no PRs were modified.

Recommended dispositions (counts)

Cross-cutting observations

Context

This audit was the parallel-track response to Aaron's 2026-05-04 correction that the autonomous loop had been running single-thread-serial on MEMORY.md compression when it could and should have been running parallel tracks. The triage doc is one of the parallel tracks dispatched to address the self-throttling.

Test plan

  • No PRs modified (read-only audit; verified via no gh pr comment / gh pr close / gh pr review calls)
  • All facts come from gh pr view <N> --repo Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta + gh api graphql (reviewThreads)
  • §33 archive-header (4 fields in first 20 lines): present in the doc itself
  • CI passes (build-and-test ubuntu legs + lint)
  • Doc-only change; no F# / C# touched

Triage research-grade audit of the 8 currently-open PRs on
Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta with PR# < 1500 in BLOCKED or DIRTY
state: #1200, #1183, #1182, #1181, #1107, #1106, #659, #655. For
each: title + age + author + purpose + concrete block cause +
salvageability + recommended disposition. Read-only audit (no
PRs were modified).

Key findings:
- 3 quick-win salvage candidates: #1200 (rebase only), #655 (rebase
  only, doc-only), #1183 (MEMORY.md index entry + 4 review-note edits)
- 2 sibling research PRs to batch: #1182 + #1181 (same §33 header
  phrasing failure + dead "See also" links)
- 2 messy-but-recoverable: #1107 + #1106 (naming-consent compliance
  pass — the rule introduced in #1106 is itself being caught by the
  PR's own content; #1107 also has §33 Operational status: value
  outside spec)
- 1 close-as-stale + re-author smaller: #659 (7 days old, 68 unresolved
  threads from policy hardening that postdates the PR — cheaper to
  re-author the trajectory pattern in a smaller follow-up PR than to
  revise 68 threads against drifted main)

Cross-cutting observations: (1) §33 archive-header lint catches
multiple PRs with hyphen/capitalization variants on the
"external conversation" phrasing, (2) naming-consent enforcement
needs a sweep-refs-style script, (3) path-drift catches in #659
suggest a new-doc path-existence linter would help.

Pull request overview

Adds a research-grade triage audit document for 8 stale/blocked/dirty open PRs (<1500), capturing per-PR status, blockers, salvageability, and recommended dispositions to guide follow-up work without modifying any PRs.

Changes:

  • Added a new docs/research/ audit report with a summary table, per-PR cards, and an action sequence.
  • Documented cross-cutting blockers (notably §33 archive-header lint behavior, naming-consent compliance, and path-drift classes).

| PR | Age (days) | Author | Block cause | Unresolved threads | Salvageable | Disposition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1200 | 2 | AceHack | DIRTY (rebase against main) | 0 | Yes | rebase-onto-main + retry merge |
- Purpose: Companion to PR #1181 — three sub-sections from Claude.ai elaborating *why* the BFT structure works (recursion catches itself / WWJD as convergent attractor / Delphi oracle precedent).
- Why blocked: `lint (semgrep)` failing + `build-and-test (ubuntu-24.04)` and `build-and-test (ubuntu-24.04-arm)` failing + several lint jobs cancelled. 3 unresolved review threads:
- 1× chatgpt-codex-connector P2: broken "See also" links to predecessor packets
- 1× copilot P1: §33 header uses `External-conversation` (hyphen) but the lint script `tools/hygiene/check-archive-header-section33.sh` only matches `external conversation` (space) in the first 20 lines

4. **#1182 + #1181 (batched)** — same-shape fix recipe: §33 header `External-conversation` → `external conversation` + repair dead "See also" links + push. They are intentional companions; land together or not at all to preserve the research arc coherence.
5. **#1107** — naming-consent compliance pass + §33 `Operational status:` value fix + path-drift cleanup + rebase. Sequenced before #1106 because #1107 carries the corrections that supersede #1106's framing.
6. **#1106** — naming-consent compliance pass (the recursive failure where the rule introduced in the PR catches the PR's own content) + §33 header fix + rebase. Sequenced after #1107 to absorb its corrections first.
7. **#659** — close-as-stale + extract trajectory pattern into a much smaller follow-up PR. Highest-cost salvage; re-authoring smaller is cheaper than revising 68 threads against drifted main.

## Cross-cutting observations

- **§33 archive-header lint catches multiple PRs** — `external conversation` (space, lowercase) is the exact phrasing the lint script `tools/hygiene/check-archive-header-section33.sh` matches in the first 20 lines. Several PRs (#1182, #1181, #1107, #1106) violate this with hyphenated or capitalized variants. A documentation pass on `GOVERNANCE.md §33` examples + a §33-header authoring helper script would prevent recurrence. Backlog candidate.
