+# Tick 1524Z — PR #3508 + PR #3504 merged; peer-rebase contention caught in primary worktree
+
+## Headline
+
+- **PR [#3508](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3508)** (Manifesto partial-lock rename) MERGED at 15:15Z → commit `660f4c9` on main. Peer Otto-CLI / Otto-Desktop landed the same fixes I was about to make: commit `512eeff` (markdownlint MD049 underscore→asterisk) + commit `8ca81ef` (V2.1 expansion: Constraint 11 + m/acc + Multi-Oracle Principle).
+- **PR [#3504](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3504)** (1427Z shard) MERGED at 15:24Z → commit `4d60e12` on main. 2 stale Copilot threads explicitly resolved via GraphQL `resolveReviewThread` after substantive fix `e0bd021` had already landed on the branch but didn't auto-outdate the threads.
+- **Peer-rebase contention caught** in primary worktree `/Users/acehack/Documents/src/repos/Zeta`: peer Lior had an interactive rebase of `lior/decompose-b0139-4` onto `99fae64` in progress (`.git/rebase-merge/` populated). Backed off per [`claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) "borrow-on-existing pattern" — switched to stable sidetick `/private/tmp/zeta-otto-cli-0027z-sidetick`.
+- Cron sentinel job `1011e43d` re-armed at tick start per catch-43 mandate (CronList showed empty, `* * * * *` + `<<autonomous-loop>>`).
+
+## Refresh discipline (two-layer print)

+Raw output:
+
+```
+$ git log origin/main --oneline -3
+4d60e12 shard(tick): 1427Z — PR #3499 merged; 2 stale threads cleared on PR #3500 (#3504)

+```
+
+Interpretation: 10 peer Otto-CLI PIDs running concurrently; primary worktree captured by Lior interactive rebase; per mutex rule, `git worktree add` avoided + work routed to sidetick via borrow-on-existing.

+## Threads resolved on PR #3504
+
+| Thread ID | Path:Line | Substance | Resolution |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM6CYwBn` | `1427Z.md:1` | `(PR TBD)` should be `(PR #3504)` | Already fixed in `e0bd021`; reply + explicit resolve |
+| `PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM6CYwCX` | `1427Z.md:7` | wording: "claim" word for grep | Acknowledged as compact-bullet style; resolved out-of-scope |
+
+Both threads marked `isOutdated: false` despite the substantive fix landing — GraphQL anchor didn't auto-shift to the new content. The `blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md` rule's exact failure mode: zero failed checks, 2 unresolved-but-stale threads blocking merge under `required_conversation_resolution`. Explicit resolve unblocked the auto-merge gate within seconds.
+
+## Substrate-honest disclaimer — my local MANIFESTO edits were noise
+
+Per [`.claude/rules/substrate-or-it-didnt-happen.md`](../../../../../.claude/rules/substrate-or-it-didnt-happen.md): I made local Edit-tool edits to MANIFESTO.md in the primary worktree (rename clarification, Authors role-ref, Grok-fetch reframing, §5+§6 enumeration). These never committed — peer Otto landed the SAME issues' fixes via commits `512eeff` + `8ca81ef` on the SAME branch and the PR merged before my work could push. Local Edit-tool effects in the primary worktree got overwritten by peer's branch checkouts. Zero substrate landed from my MANIFESTO edits; the threads were already addressed by peer's commits.
+
+This IS the multi-Otto convergence pattern the unified-identity discipline produces: independent observation paths picked the same fixes; whichever observer's commits push first wins; the other observer's local-only work is silent overlap. No conflict because no concurrent push happened.
