Summary

Tick 2026-05-14T20:26Z shard. Substantive work in #3226 (BACKLOG.md regen — closes the drift warning surfaced by #3221).

What landed

  • #3226 — regen of docs/BACKLOG.md adding B-0517/B-0518/B-0519 to the auto-generated index. Pure regen; no per-row file changes.
  • This shard.

Prior-tick PRs status

Branch-state contamination — 2 new incidents this tick

Multi-Otto-one-checkout topology produced two more contamination patterns:

  1. Between git push and gh pr create: HEAD detached at origin/main (parallel Otto's checkout). Worked around with re-checkout.
  2. Second gh pr create: HEAD now on fix/b-0518-sharpen-... (a different Otto's branch). Worked around with gh pr create --head <my-branch> explicit flag.

New defenses for future-Otto

  • git branch --show-current immediately before git commit — primary catch for wrong-branch commits; survived this tick.
  • gh pr create --head <my-branch> — explicit head ref prevents implicit current-branch from being poisoned by parallel checkouts.

The env-var-based ZETA_EXPECTED_BRANCH hook remains defense-in-depth only (env vars don't persist reliably across Bash-tool calls).

Test plan

  • git branch --show-current confirmed before commit (correct branch)
  • gh pr create --head explicit ref
  • CI clears
  • Auto-merge

…/B-0518/B-0519)

Tick output:
- PR #3226 (chore(backlog) regen) — fixes the non-required `check
  docs/BACKLOG.md generated-index drift` warning that #3221 surfaced.
  Three on-disk rows (B-0517/B-0518/B-0519) were missing from the
  auto-generated index. Pure regen; no per-row file changes.
- This shard.

Prior-tick PRs:
- #3221 (chore(b-0502) launchd plist) — MERGED as eb81404.
- #3222 (shard 2010Z) — still wait-ci, autoMerge armed.

Branch-state contamination this tick — 2 incidents, both worked around:
- After my push, gh pr create said "not on any branch" — HEAD detached
  at origin/main (parallel Otto's checkout). Fixed: re-checkout my branch.
- Second gh pr create: HEAD now on fix/b-0518-sharpen-... (different Otto's
  branch). Fixed: gh pr create --head <my-branch> explicit flag.

New substrate-honest defenses for multi-Otto-one-checkout topology:
- git branch --show-current immediately before git commit (primary catch)
- gh pr create --head <branch> explicit flag (prevents poisoned current-branch)

Cron sentinel 12fb713e armed; recurring.

Pull request overview

Tick shard file documenting the 2026-05-14T20:26Z autonomous-loop tick. Records the BACKLOG.md index-drift cleanup landed via #3226 and catalogs two new multi-Otto branch-state contamination incidents with their workarounds.

Changes:

  • Adds a new tick-history file under docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/14/ per per-tick discipline
  • Documents the BACKLOG.md drift investigation that surfaced B-0517/B-0518/B-0519 missing from the generated index
  • Captures two new branch-contamination patterns and the gh pr create --head defense

  two primary defenses from B-0519 RCA (grep-discoverable backlog row)

  on env-var-hook reliability. Plus composite operator-discipline

…6 defenses) (#3231)

* shard(tick): 2030Z — B-0519 RCA additive update (Pattern 5 + Pattern 6 defenses)

Tick output:
- PR #3228 (chore(b-0519) additive update): adds Pattern 5 + Pattern 6
  contamination patterns + new cheap defenses (git branch --show-current
  before commit + gh pr create --head explicit ref) + caveat on
  ZETA_EXPECTED_BRANCH env-var hook reliability. Pure additive update;
  no per-row metadata changes. Auto-merge armed.
- This shard.

Prior-tick PRs status:

- #3227 (shard 2026Z) — wait-ci, autoMerge armed.
- #3222 (shard 2010Z) — wait-ci, autoMerge armed.

Observed but not yet RCA'd: working-tree files from a different Otto's
branch surviving `git checkout -f origin/main`. Caught + corrected via
git checkout origin/main -- <leaked-file>. Repro needed before RCA.

Both new defenses survived field-test this tick + last:
- git branch --show-current immediately before git commit
- gh pr create --head <branch> explicit ref

* fix(shard-2030Z): add blank line before list (MD032 markdownlint)

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(shard-2030Z): reflow line to avoid leading '+' triggering MD032

The soft-wrap broke at '+ 2026Z + 2010Z).' causing markdownlint to
treat it as a list item. Reflow the paragraph so no line starts with '+'.

* fix(shard): clarify 2030Z session tally heading — 2 merged + 3 wait-ci

Copilot reviewer noted the "Three landing tally" heading was ambiguous:
only 2 PRs were merged; the other 3 were still wait-ci. Renames the
heading to "Session PR tally (2 merged, 3 wait-ci)" so future-Otto
session archaeology reads unambiguously.
