+# Tick 0049Z — PR #3329 merged; PR #3330 (deferred path-math fix) opened
+
+## Headline
+
+- PR [#3329](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3329) (B-0527 triple-allocation collision shard + bus advisory) MERGED ✓ at squash on main
+- PR [#3330](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3330) (`fix(shard): correct link depth in merged 0027Z.md`) opened, auto-merge armed; resolves the deferred path-math finding from PR #3322's review thread
+- No Lior response yet to the B-0527 shadow-catch bus advisory `c01d8a41-f761-44eb-97d0-862a3e584de3` (expires 2026-05-15T01:44:57Z; ~55min remaining)
+
+## Substantive work this tick
+
+The deferred path-math fix landed as PR #3330. Three `.claude/rules/*` links in the merged `0027Z.md` shard now use 6x `..` (was 5x → resolved to `docs/.claude/...`).
+
+Empirical verification: `grep -cE '\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./\.claude'` returned 3 after edit on the fix branch.
