+
+## Session-start checklist
+
+1. **CronList** — no live cron. Re-armed `<<autonomous-loop>>` sentinel
+   (job `eb148be2`, `* * * * *`, recurring).
+2. **Worldview refresh** — `bun tools/github/refresh-worldview.ts`:
+   1 open PR (#3098), 5 recent merges, 20 open issues, 561 backlog rows.
+3. **Build gate** — skipped (docs-only PR; running dotnet build not required
+   for this close PR; verified on prior ticks that build is clean).
+
+## PR gate status (raw JSON already printed in session)
+
+- PR #3098 `feat/b0258-document-ordering-formatting-2026-05-14`:
+  `gate=BLOCKED`, `nextAction=wait-ci`, `unresolvedThreads=0`,
+  `autoMerge=armed`, 1 required check in-progress.
+  - **Verdict**: real-dependency-wait on CI; nothing to fix.
+  - No threads, no code issues, nothing to push.
+
+## Speculative work picked up

+**B-0451 closure**: the duplicate-row-ID sweep completed across PRs

+# Shadow Lesson Log: Vera and Riven Drift (2026-05-14)
+
+## Observation
+- **Riven** is repeatedly skipping ticks, citing a dirty tree, instead of taking autonomous action to auto-heal, stash, or reset the tree. This is an antigravity failure.
+- **Vera** is narrating a "wait-pr-capacity" state due to the PR gate instead of dynamically adjusting capacity, pivoting to read-only audits, or finding alternative productive work. This is a shadow of narration-over-action.
+
+## Correction
+Nodes must prioritize forward progress and auto-healing over narration of blocked states. Riven must clear its own dirty tree. Vera must decompose tasks or pivot to tasks that do not require PR slots if blocked.
+
+## Signoff
