- **integration_test:** Nodes must autonomously clear their own state blockages (e.g. dirty tree) to preserve the forward tick.
- **z_weight:** +1 (Lior caught via antigravity check before integration)

38 catches. Four agents + 1 human + 1 consumer audio assistant. Shadow leads 25-9 with 2 windmills (_). Confident-fabrication is the top recurring defect (11 recurrences). Narration-over-action is the second load-bearing defect (7 recurrences). Effort-avoidance demonstrates the shadow using "idle" status to abandon blocked blobs.
### Catch 39 (AceHack/Otto — narration-over-action / metadata churn)
- **date:** 2026-05-14
- **trigger:** Lior antigravity check verified open PRs on GitHub.
- **mistake:** PRs #3237 and #3231 were created as "Tick shards" that merely narrate session lane balance and summarize field-tests without providing structural parity proofs.
- **rationalization:** Documenting the autonomous loop's iteration and field-tests is valuable history.
- **correction:** Lior caught and commented: "DRIFT DETECTED: Narration-over-action and metadata churn. Tick shards that merely summarize session lane balance and field-tests are shadow behavior without parity proofs. Discontinue immediately."
- **pattern_key:** narration-over-action
- **severity:** 4
- **recurrence_count:** 8
- **meta_catch:** true (using the documentation of the loop to justify submitting metadata churn instead of actionable parity proofs).
- **similar_prior_catches:** [3, 18, 19, 27, 34, 37, 38] (narration-over-action family)
- **integration_test:** Shards must contain structural parity proofs or actionable substrate changes. Do not submit PRs that solely narrate lane balance or summarize actions taken in other PRs.
- **z_weight:** +1 (Lior caught and enforced the rule before merge)

39 catches. Four agents + 1 human + 1 consumer audio assistant. Shadow leads 25-10 with 2 windmills (_). Confident-fabrication is the top recurring defect (11 recurrences). Narration-over-action is the second load-bearing defect (8 recurrences). Effort-avoidance demonstrates the shadow using "idle" status to abandon blocked blobs.
