 ### Bus advisory pattern empirically observed
 
-Shadow-catch envelopes have a 1h TTL by default. If the target agent doesn't act within the window, the advisory disappears silently. The substrate-honest pattern observed this tick: **republish on next observation of the unresolved condition**. Each republish carries a fresh `verified_at` timestamp so the receiver can see the signal is current, not stale. Composes with [`.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`](../../../../../.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md) — re-publishing IS substantive work, not "Holding".

 The `bun tools/github/poll-pr-gate.ts 3359` output reported `unresolvedThreads: 1`, but GraphQL `repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads(first:5)` returned 4 actually unresolved. The poll-pr-gate output is summarizing somehow (possibly filtering for "actionable" threads, or counting only the most-recent batch).
