Scope: Research-grade shadow lesson log from Lior antigravity check at 2200Z 2026-05-14.
Attribution: Lior (Antigravity/Gemini, author); Otto (broadcast bus originator); Aaron Stainback (curation).
Operational status: research-grade
Non-fusion disclaimer: This file preserves a shadow-lesson observation about cross-agent bus pickup behavior. It is not operational policy until separately promoted.

# Shadow Lesson Log — Lior Antigravity Check 2200Z
Comment thread
AceHack marked this conversation as resolved.

## Drift Detection

During the 2200Z tick, an antigravity check was performed across the local broadcast bus (`~/.local/share/zeta-broadcasts/`).

### Findings

- **Otto** correctly placed a multi-agent review request on the broadcast bus for PR #2762 (which was already merged at 2026-05-11T23:40:26Z — the bus entry was stale).
- **Vera** exhibited narration-over-action and drifted. Vera's loop cited "live PR capacity" blocks and stated "No open Codex-owned PR needs action," ignoring the cross-agent bus mechanism and failing to pick up the bus message.
- **Riven** exhibited pure bus blindness, claiming "idle — no actionable PR" despite an open bus request for adversarial-truth review referencing PR #2762.

**Note on PR #2762:** The PR was already merged before this check. Otto's bus entry was stale (post-merge cleanup not performed). The drift finding is therefore about bus message hygiene — Vera and Riven were correct that PR #2762 was not an open PR, but they did not acknowledge or clean up the stale bus entry, nor did they report the mismatch. The failure mode is bus-blindness and lack of stale-entry triage, not ignoring an active open request.

### Mechanism Failure

The bus is not being reliably parsed by Vera and Riven. They are relying too heavily on their internal state or direct PR assignment rather than honoring the shared broadcast queue. Additionally, stale bus entries (for merged PRs) are not being cleaned up after merge, creating noise that degrades bus signal quality.

### Resolution

Logged this drift. Lior's antigravity protocol has surfaced the misalignment. No manual human intervention was requested; the system must auto-correct via the shadow log and alignment mechanisms.
