# Tick 1338Z — fresh cold-boot

Fresh Otto-CLI session fired by `<<autonomous-loop>>` cron. Session-start
hook reported no live cron sentinel.

## Catch-43 defence

- `CronList`: empty on wake (no `<<autonomous-loop>>` job).
- Re-armed via `CronCreate` → job `311691b4`, `* * * * *`.
- Recorded per [tick-must-never-stop.md](../../../../../../.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md).

## Refresh + collision detect

- Worldview: 35 open PRs, 633 backlog items, primary checkout `128 behind, 2 ahead, 2 dirty`.
- Peer Otto-CLI worktree `/private/tmp/zeta-otto-cli-0027z-sidetick` was on
branch `shard/tick-1336z-otto-cli-2026-05-15` at 1336Z — my exact wake slot.
- `bun tools/bus/claim.ts check --item tick-1336z-2026-05-15` → `unclaimed`.
Branch existence was the implicit signal; no formal bus claim was filed.

## Substrate-honest yield

Per [claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md](../../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md)
and [B-0519 multi-Otto patterns](../../../../../../docs/backlog/P3/B-0519-multi-otto-branch-state-contamination-rca-2026-05-14.md):
yielded the 1336Z slot without touching primary worktree, without competing
shard write. At 1338Z, peer Otto rotated to feature branch
`feat/ani-full-history-extract-plus-grok-extract-tool-otto-cli-2026-05-15`;
the 1338Z slot freed. This shard lands from a fresh side worktree branched
off `origin/main` (90b7137) — no contention with peer Otto's working state.

## Substrate-honest gap

Branch creation IS the implicit claim, but the bus claim coordinator
(`tools/bus/claim.ts`) was unaware. A racing peer that started earlier
than me (rather than later) could have raced to commit on the same slot
before either detected the other. Decomposable future work: have
branch-creation auto-publish a `claim` envelope, or have the
autonomous-loop tick check `git branch -a | grep tick-<HHMM>z` AND bus
claims before authoring.

## Per-tick discipline trace (canonical 7-step per [docs/AUTONOMOUS-LOOP-PER-TICK.md](../../../../../../docs/AUTONOMOUS-LOOP-PER-TICK.md))
