+
+## Refresh

+- CronList: live (`9ac08520`, `* * * * *`, sentinel `<<autonomous-loop>>`).
+- PR #3061 (Lior shadow log for Riven) merged → `916ca03`.
+- My 3 in-flight PRs (#3056, #3058, #3065) — all `wait-ci` after
+  previous tick's `update-branch` calls.
+
+## Speculative work picked
+
+Per never-be-idle + previous tick's restraint discipline ("don't
+multiply rate-limit pressure"): capture the per-collision renumber
+procedure as a durable memory file. Low CI cost, high future-Otto
+value, makes the remaining B-0451 work pick-up-able by any agent
+without session context.

+
+## Procedure captured (summary)
+
+The 9-step recipe distills the pattern that emerged from this
+session's 5 collision-resolution PRs (PR-3053, PR-3057, PR-3058,
+PR-3065, PR-3056). Key learnings:
+
+1. **External-references trumps first-merged-wins.** PR #3057 is
+   the canonical example — kept Riven's LATER row because sibling
+   rows referenced it. PR #3065 is a different pattern: the
+   re-check step — initial analysis pointed wrong (keep P2), but
+   first-merged-wins, external-refs, and status-precedence all
+   converged on keeping P1. The procedure value is recognizing
+   when rules agree vs disagree.
+2. **Batch connected components in one PR.** B-0090.x and
+   B-0370-0373 each formed dependency chains; renumbering them
+   as a unit preserves the chain atomically.
+3. **Worktree isolation prevents multi-Otto split-brain.** Every
+   cleanup PR this session opened in `/tmp/zeta-<name>` rather
+   than the main checkout.
+
+## Substrate-honest pitfalls documented
+
+| Pitfall | Symptom | Resolution |
+|---|---|---|
+| BLOCKED ≠ failed CI | `mergeStateStatus: BLOCKED` with required checks green | `gh api -X PUT pulls/{N}/update-branch` |
+| Initial analysis points wrong | First read keeps "wrong" set; reviewer or re-examination flips it | Re-check timeline + external refs before committing to a renumber direction |
+| Collisions hide for weeks | B-0444 survived 9 PR landings; B-0370 survived 4 days | Run audit BEFORE filing new rows, not after |
+
+## Remaining work (3 collision groups)
+
+After PRs #3058 + #3065 land, the audit will report:
+
+- `B-0409` (3-way: wallet-immune P1 + amara-persona-bootstrap P2 + peer-call-ts-audit P2)
+- `B-0410` (amara-ts-core P2 + peer-call-persona-loader P2)
+- `B-0411` (amara-ts-readme-courier P2 + grok-ts-persona-flag P2)
+
+All 2026-05-11 within-priority decomposition races. ~5-10 min each
+following the documented procedure. Future tick or future-Otto can
+clear them.
+
+## Restraint discipline (continued)
+
+Did NOT open another cleanup PR this tick. The reasoning from tick
+0024Z still holds: 3 PRs in flight, 25+ jobs each on a shared
+installation rate-limit quota. The memory file is a durable
+alternative that makes future cleanups cheap without burning CI.

+
+PR #3066 surfaced 4 issues — addressable directly this tick (not
+Holding). 2 reviewer threads + 2 CI failures, all on the procedure
+memory file or its adjacent 0034Z tick shard.
+
+## The 4 issues
+
+| # | Type | Where | Issue |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | CI | check-memory-frontmatter-completeness | Memory file missing required `created:` field (workflow checks name/description/type/created) |
+| 2 | CI | lint (markdownlint) | `0034Z.md:35` — line starts with `#3056)` which is parsed as malformed MD018 ATX heading |
+| 3 | Copilot | memory file:20 | Procedure references audit tool + B-0451 but branch is behind main (false positive — both ARE on origin/main now) |
+| 4 | Copilot | memory file:40 | Procedure's grep recipe treats `B-0XXX` as regex; for sub-row IDs like `B-0068.1` the dot matches any char. Also `\b` is GNU-grep, not portable to macOS BSD grep |
+
+## Landed concretely
+
+| Artifact | Where | What |
+|---|---|---|
+| Memory file frontmatter | PR #3066 `21dc986` | Added `created: 2026-05-14` (4th required field) |
+| `0034Z.md:35` | PR #3066 `21dc986` | Reworded `#3056)` → `PR-3056` style to avoid MD018 hazard |
+| Memory file body §2 | PR #3066 `21dc986` | Replaced `grep -rn "B-0XXX\b"` recipe with `grep -rnF "B-0XXX"` + portable `[^0-9.]\|$` word-boundary filter; documented dotted sub-row case separately |
+| Both Copilot threads | PR #3066 GraphQL | Resolved via `resolveReviewThread` mutation |
+
+## Substrate-honest observation
+
+The grep-recipe bug is meta-substrate: the procedure memo whose
+purpose is to formalize the cleanup discipline ITSELF contained a
+non-portable grep pattern that would mislead future agents. Codex
+caught it pre-merge — exactly what the round-2 reviewer pattern
+documented in PR #3043 + #3056 was designed to enable.
+
+Five MD-class lint findings this session (4× MD032 + 1× MD018)
+strengthen B-0456's case (file already opened in PR #3065). The
+mechanization will catch BOTH classes.
+
+## Branch-update race
+
+Tried `gh api -X PUT pulls/3066/update-branch` after the commit
+push. GitHub returned `422: expected head sha didn't match current
+head ref` — the push had already advanced the branch tip past the
+SHA the update-branch API expected. Not blocking: the push itself
+brings the branch to the new tip; CI re-runs on the new commit.

+
+## Meta-recursion observation
+
+The 0054Z shard described PR #3066's MD018 + grep-portability fixes.
+That shard ITSELF hit MD056 because the grep recipe contained a
+pipe character. Pattern: each tick shard that describes a markdown
+lint fix has tended to introduce its own markdown lint finding
+that the original fix didn't anticipate.
+
+The pattern is recursive:
+
+- PR #3044 fixed MD032 on 2228Z shard; its commit shard cleanly
+- PR #3058 hit MD032 on 2348Z (a NEW shard);
+  PR #3065 (next batch) THEN hit MD032 on 0017Z + 0024Z
+- PR #3066 fixed MD018 on 0034Z; its commit shard (0054Z) hit MD056
+
+The future B-0456 mechanization needs to catch markdown lint
+findings BEFORE push — running CI catches them but each catch
+introduces a new tick shard that may itself have findings. The
+break-even-on-mechanization analysis from tick 0100Z (occurrence 10) moved another step closer (now at occurrence #7).

+PR 3066 round-3 review surfaced 3 unresolved threads. Triaged:
+
+| Thread | Finding | Real or stale? |
+|---|---|---|
+| 22 | branch-behind: audit tool + B-0451 row not visible | mechanical (PR 3056 has merged; update-branch needed) |

+| 76 | PR 3065 framed as bending first-merged-wins | real correction (PR 3065 KEPT the earlier row; rules agreed) |
+
+The line-76 thread was the substantive catch. The memo described
+PR 3065 as bending first-merged-wins like PR 3057, but PR 3065
+actually kept the P1 set (filed 2 days EARLIER than P2). That
+aligns with first-merged-wins; both rules pointed the same
+direction.

+| Thread 22 (branch-behind) | resolved + update-branch | Triggered `PUT pulls/3066/update-branch`; audit tool + B-0451 now visible to new CI run |

+
+## Substrate-honest correction history
+
+The PR 3065 framing has now been corrected twice in the session arc:
+
+1. The 0017Z tick shard's initial analysis pointed at "keep P2 set
+   (B-0092 parent body describes them as canonical decomposition)"
+2. Re-examination (same shard) reversed to "keep P1 set" because
+   P1 was earlier + has external refs
+3. The procedure memo (this PR 3066) then claimed PR 3065 "bent
+   first-merged-wins" — that was wrong; both rules agreed
+4. THIS tick's commit corrected the memo to describe PR 3065 as
+   the re-check pattern instead
+
+The substrate captures the trajectory of the correction across
+multiple PRs. Future agents reading the procedure see both the
+canonical rule-bend (PR 3057) AND the re-check pattern that
+catches when first-instinct doesn't match the rules.
