Summary

  • Backfills docs/CONTRIBUTOR-CONFLICTS.md Resolved table with 3 session-observed contributor-level conflicts that closed with evidence; schema has existed since PR hygiene: row #54 — backlog-refactor cadenced audit (Aaron 2026-04-23) #166 but sat empty.
  • Implements 1/2 of Amara's 4th-ferry Govern-stage recommendation: start using the CONTRIBUTOR-CONFLICTS.md file.
  • Continues Amara's 4-stage remediation roadmap (Stabilize → Determinize → Govern → Assure).

The 3 backfilled rows

Scope discipline

  • In-scope (per the schema's "contributor-level disagreement" definition): cross-reviewer / cross-agent / cross-maintainer disagreements that closed with explicit resolution.
  • Out-of-scope for this backfill: maintainer-directives to Otto (those are not contributor-level disagreements — they're instructions), same-contributor evolution (later-takes-precedence rule), per-PR-review-thread findings that auto-resolved.

Rule discipline

  • Schema rule 1 (resolutions are additive) honored — each row's Resolution-so-far captures the current state with date markers.
  • Schema rule 3 (attribution discipline carve-out) applies — contributor names ARE appropriate here because the log is explicitly tracking who said what.
  • No retroactive Aaron → human maintainer sweep of prior historical rows (CC-001's scope explicitly disallows it).

Remaining Amara Govern-stage work (2/2)

  • Authority-envelope + escalation-path ADR (M-effort, deferred to follow-up PR).

Test plan

  • Schema preserved (8 columns, same structure as the pre-existing empty table)
  • All 3 rows cite real session evidence (PRs, commits, Aaron chat ticks, absorb docs)
  • Date consistency (2026-04-23 today; CC-002 resolution date corrected from earlier 2026-04-24 draft)
  • Stale placeholder preserved (empty section kept for schema continuity)

Otto-75 tick.

…rows (Amara Govern-stage 1/2)

Amara's 4th ferry (PR #221 absorb) named populating
docs/CONTRIBUTOR-CONFLICTS.md as the Govern-stage action: the
schema has existed since PR #166 but the Resolved table was
empty despite multiple session-observed contributor-level
disagreements that closed with evidence.

Backfills three genuine contributor-level conflicts observed
this session (narrow scope — not maintainer-directives,
which are out-of-scope per the schema's contributor-level
disagreement definition):

- CC-001: Copilot (PR reviewer) vs Aaron on no-name-attribution
  rule scope (history-file exemption). Resolved in Aaron's
  favor via Otto-52 clarification; policy BACKLOG row filed
  in PR #210.
- CC-002: Amara (4th ferry) vs Otto (pre-Otto-67 pattern) on
  Stabilize-vs-keep-opening-new-frames. Resolved in Amara's
  favor; Otto pivoted at Otto-68 to execute her roadmap;
  3/3 Stabilize + 3/5 Determinize landed via PRs
  #222/#223/#224/#225/#226.
- CC-003: Codex (PR reviewer) vs Otto (initial framing) on
  citing-absent-artifacts. Resolved in Codex's favor via fix
  commits 29872af/1c7f97d on PRs #207/#208; pattern now
  discipline (distinguish merged-on-main from
  proposed-in-PR-open).

All three rows follow the schema's 8-column layout and include
the full Resolution-so-far / Scope / Source cells the schema
requires. No retroactive Aaron→human-maintainer sweep of prior
rows; schema's rule 1 (resolutions are additive) honored.

This is 1/2 of Amara's Govern-stage work. 2/2 is the
authority-envelope + escalation-path ADR (deferred, M-effort).

Part of Amara's 4-stage remediation roadmap
(Stabilize → Determinize → Govern → Assure).

Otto-75 tick.

Pull request overview

Backfills the previously-empty Resolved section of docs/CONTRIBUTOR-CONFLICTS.md with three session-observed contributor-level conflicts and their recorded resolutions.

Changes:

  • Adds three resolved conflict entries (CC-001..CC-003) to the Resolved table.
  • Removes the “empty at creation” placeholder line under the Resolved section.

Policy clarification BACKLOG row filed (PR #210) for documenting the exemption explicitly in `docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md`. | **Scope:** distinguishes historical-record surfaces from forward-looking ones.

…directive) (#228)

Aaron 2026-04-23: "can you start building first class codex
support with the codex clis help, it might eventually be
benefitial to switch otto to codex later depending on which
modeel/harness is ahead. this is basically the same ask as a
new session claude first class experience, this is a codex
session as a first class experince. and really the code one
is a first class claude code experience, we also even tually
will have first class claude desktop cowork and claude code
desktop too. backlog"

The row captures the full roster of first-class harness
experiences Aaron wants Zeta to support symmetrically (Claude
Code CLI, NSA, Codex CLI, Claude Desktop cowork, Claude Code
Desktop) with Codex CLI being the new-ask focus. Lays out a
5-step execution shape (research tick → parity matrix → gap
closures → bootstrap doc → Otto-in-Codex test run → harness-
choice ADR) so the Architect or a future loop tick can pick
up any stage independently.

Distinguishes from the existing cross-harness-mirror-pipeline
row: that row handles skill-file distribution to multiple
harnesses; this row handles session-operation parity (every
Otto operation must work in Codex CLI equivalently).

Grounded in the retractability-by-design foundation (Otto-73)
extended to harness-choice — portability-by-design for the
agent session, not just the substrate.

Scope limits explicit: no committed harness swap today; no
duplication of cross-harness mirror work; no lock-in to any
one harness family. Harness-choice ADR is explicitly
revisitable per Aaron's "depending on which modeel/harness
is ahead".

Priority P1 — strategic not urgent. Research tick (S) within
5-10 ticks; full integration L spread across next rounds.

Otto-75 tick follow-up (PR #227 Govern-stage backfill closed
the primary tick; this row captures the fresh directive that
landed mid-tick).
