+
+## Work scope
+
+- Inspect harness behavior against short marker-only versus
+  pre-rendered index content.
+- Validate whether write-back behaviors assume specific
+  formatting.
+- Produce a research note documenting observed behavior,
+  assumptions, and explicit constraints for later rows.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- A research note exists under `docs/research/` with a
+  reproducible verification procedure.
+- The note states whether marker-only is contract-safe.
+- The note states compatibility constraints for Q1 AutoDream/
+  AutoMemory.
+- No changes to `memory/MEMORY.md` in this row.

+# Tick 2228Z — Lost-file recovery (c0dcb26) + Codex P2 fix on #3043
+
+## Refresh
+
+- CronList: live (`9ac08520`, `* * * * *`, sentinel `<<autonomous-loop>>`).
+- PR #3043 (mine, B-0444): on previous tick all required CI was running;
+  one Codex P2 thread surfaced at `tools/bus/claim.ts:264` flagging that
+  bare `--worktree` (no value) gets parsed as the literal string `"true"`
+  and recorded as the worktree path — misleading provenance.
+- PR #3041 (Otto-Desktop's multi-surface comm reference card):
+  required-CI green, 4 unresolved threads — Otto-Desktop's lane,
+  untouched this tick.
+
+## Named-dependency check (per holding-discipline)
+
+Both my PRs in flight have **named dependencies**: required CI on the
+re-tipped #3043 (~5-15min) and required CI on the new #3044
+(~5-15min). Neither is "Holding" — both have specific gate
+descriptions and bounded ETAs.
+
+## Speculative work picked (per never-be-idle)
+
+While PR #3043's first CI run was finishing, the backlog-ready-notifier
+flagged **9 dangling depends_on references**. Six of those traced to
+commit `c0dcb26` (2026-05-08, *fix(b0066): initial marker vs index
+audit*) — an unmerged branch that drafted six P1 atomic-decomposition
+child rows that never reached main. B-0066 and B-0290 carried dangling
+children/depends_on for 5 days.
+
+Per `.claude/rules/honor-those-that-came-before.md` + the canonical
+`tools/hygiene/LOST-FILES-LOCATIONS.md` lost-files protocol, the right
+move was **recovery** (preserving the prior decomposition substrate),
+not **deletion** of the broken references.
+
+## Landed concretely
+
+| Artifact | Where | What |
+|----------|-------|------|
+| 6 backlog rows | PR #3044 | `B-0257..B-0261` + `B-0289` restored byte-for-byte from `git show c0dcb26:<path>` (no editorial drift) |
+| `docs/BACKLOG.md` | PR #3044 | Regenerated via `BACKLOG_WRITE_FORCE=1 bun tools/backlog/generate-index.ts` |
+| `tools/bus/claim.ts` (Codex P2 fix) | PR #3043 `7740700` | Reject `--worktree` bare flag (parser sentinel `"true"`) with `Error: --worktree requires a path argument` + exit 1 |
+| `tools/bus/claim.test.ts` | PR #3043 `7740700` | 53rd test pins bare-flag rejection |
+| Thread resolved | PR #3043 | `PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM6B6CLj` resolved via GraphQL `resolveReviewThread` mutation |
+
+## Substrate-level effect (verified)
+
+| Signal | Before | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| Dangling dep refs (notifier) | 9 | 3 |
+| Ready-to-grind candidates | 211 | 213 |
+| Total open rows | 376 | 382 |
+| Claim test suite | 52/52 | 53/53 |
+
+The 3 remaining dangling refs (`B-0055.1`, `B-0054.1`, `B-0395`) are
+unrelated and out of scope.
+
+## Multi-Otto coordination posture
+
+Used `git worktree add /tmp/zeta-recover-lost -b feat/recover-lost-rows-...
+origin/main` for the recovery, same isolation pattern as PR #3043's
+`/tmp/zeta-b0444` worktree on the previous tick. Two parallel filesystem-
+isolated worktrees + the main checkout = three concurrent edit surfaces
+this tick. No working-tree races observed.
+
+## Verify
+
+- 53/53 pass on `tools/bus/claim.test.ts` (Codex P2 fix landed)
+- `bun tools/backlog/generate-index.ts --check` exits 0
+- `bun tools/bg/backlog-ready-notifier.ts --once` reports 3 dangling

+- PR #3043 unresolved threads: 1 → 0
+- Both PRs auto-merge armed, gate state advancing through CI
+
+## CronList
+
+- Live (`9ac08520`, `* * * * *`).
+
+## Visibility signal
+
+Two PRs in flight, both auto-merge armed:
+- **#3043** (B-0444 worktree-field): 7 required green on prior tip;
+  re-running CI on `7740700` (Codex P2 fix); 53/53 tests pass;
+  Codex thread resolved.
+- **#3044** (recovery of 6 lost backlog rows): CI in flight;
+  9 → 3 dangling-dep refs eliminated; +6 substrate rows restored.
+
+Per `.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`:
+real-dependency-wait on both PRs' required CI checks. Loop continues
+on next cron tick.
