+# Tick 2026-05-14T18:22Z — razor-cadence composes-with audit batch 2 (4 rules, 37/37 LIVE)
+
+## Refresh (step 1)
+
+`bun tools/github/poll-pr-gate-batch.ts --all-open`:
+
+- **Only 1 open PR**: my own #3156 (B-0506 + 1817Z shard) BLOCKED wait-ci, autoMerge armed.
+- Prior PRs all merged: #3150 (Manifesto V2), #3152 (1804Z shard), #3154 (1813Z shard), #3155 (Aaron's shadow log) — confirmed on `origin/main` log.
+
+## Holding discipline (step 2)
+
+Named work: PR #3156 wait-ci. Per never-be-idle: pick parallel decomposition work — continue the razor-cadence batch pattern established in PR #3152.
+
+## Speculative work (step 3) — razor-cadence batch 2
+
+**Razor-cadence issue #3128 item 4** (composes-with audit) on the next 4 rules from the "since-last-pass" cluster (PR # in parens = original landing):
+
+| Rule | File refs | Backlog rows |
+|------|-----------|--------------|
+| `zeta-ships-with-skills-immediate-value.md` (#2938) | 8 | B-0043, B-0428, B-0429 |
+| `dv2-data-split-discipline-activated.md` (#2915) | 13 | B-0043, B-0424, B-0425, B-0426, B-0427 |
+| `methodology-hard-limits.md` (#2860) | 10 | — |
+| `shadow-check-name-acceptance.md` (#2855) | 10 | — |
+
+Total cross-references:
+
+- **17 unique rule files** (`.claude/rules/<name>.md`) — all 17 LIVE
+- **13 unique memory files** (repo-scope `memory/feedback_*.md`) — all 13 LIVE
+- **7 unique backlog rows** (B-0043, B-0424-B-0429) — all 7 LIVE
+
+**37/37 cross-references survive the audit.** No stale pointers.
+
+## Verify (step 4)
+
+Audit verified via:
+
+- `test -e <path>` for each rule file
+- `test -e memory/<file>` for each memory file
+- `ls docs/backlog/P*/B-NNNN-*.md` for each backlog row
+
+No miss. Combined with batch 1 (PR #3152): **67/67 cross-references LIVE across 8 newest rules**. Composes-with audit health is excellent for the post-2026-05-12 rule cluster.
+
+## Shard (step 5)

+
+## Visibility (step 7)
+
+- **Landed this tick**: razor-cadence item 4 batch 2 — 37/37 cross-references LIVE across 4 more rules. Combined with batch 1: 67/67 LIVE across 8 rules. ~17/47 total `.claude/rules/` files now have a clean composes-with audit pass.
+- **Open PRs**: only #3156 (this session) wait-ci → next ETA in poll-pr-gate cycle.
+
+## Notes for future-Otto
+
+Both batches reveal a clean memory-file ecosystem: every cited `memory/feedback_*.md` exists in the repo's `memory/` directory (which has 889 feedback files vs 396 in user-scope). The bare `memory/` prefix in rule cross-references reliably refers to repo-scope.
+
+**Distinction worth carrying**: when §33 research archives reference memory files, the convention is to clarify user-scope explicitly (per PR #3150 1808Z fix). When `.claude/rules/` files reference memory files, the `memory/` prefix implicitly means repo-scope (per this batch's audit — 13/13 LIVE confirms the convention).
+
+**Razor-cadence item 4 status**: 8/47 rules audited (~17% coverage). At ~4 rules per per-tick audit batch, completing item 4 would take ~10 more batches. Razor-cadence cluster of items 1+2+3+5 (per the original #3128 checklist) require deeper read of rule contents and remain for future ticks.
