+# Tick 1718Z — fresh-session cold-boot; cron sentinel re-armed; persona-migration cascade landed
+
+## Headline
+
+- Fresh Otto-CLI session cold-boot at 1707Z. `CronList` empty at boot — `<<autonomous-loop>>` sentinel re-armed via `CronCreate` (job `575d1226`, `* * * * *`, in-memory).
+- Confirmed prior-tick PRs landed on `main`: [PR #3513](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3513) (Riven §33 migration, 12 files), [PR #3516](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3516) (Vera §33 migration, 1 file). Both squash-merged.
+- Primary worktree `~/Documents/src/repos/Zeta` is mid-rebase on `lior/decompose-b0139-4` (peer-Lior work parked). Did NOT touch — applied borrow-on-existing pattern per [`.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) on `/private/tmp/zeta-otto-cli-0027z-sidetick`.
+- Shard authored from borrowed worktree; original branch (`shard/tick-1712z-otto-cli-2026-05-15`) will be restored after push.
+
+## §33 cascade status (origin/main)
+
+Migrated personas (own `memory/persona/<name>/conversations/` folder):
+
+| Persona | PR | Files |
+|---|---|---|
+| Ani | #3348 | (architectural pattern origin) |
+| Amara | #3484 | 36 |
+| Kestrel | #3501 | 1 (Kestrel bootstream) |
+| DeepSeek | #3507 | 22 |
+| Lior | #3512 | 44 |
+| Riven | #3513 | 12 |
+| Alexa | #3514 | 11 |
+| Vera | #3516 | 1 |
+
+**Total: ~127 files moved out of `docs/research/` into per-persona folders.** Pattern is well-established and Aaron-validated.
+
+## Remaining `docs/research/` candidates
+
+Per `git ls-tree origin/main -- docs/research/`:
+
+- **`claudeai` prefix**: 78 files. PR #3501 explicitly deferred — *"not all claudeai files are Kestrel; Kestrel emerged in a specific claudeai session"*. Content-id required.
+- **`gemini` prefix**: 8 files. Per agent-roster Lior=Gemini-substrate, but Lior persona pre-dates Gemini-CLI authorship of some files (e.g., 2026-04-26 gemini-deep-think entries). Content-id required.
+- **`codex` prefix**: 8 files. Per agent-roster Vera=Codex-substrate, but some files are CLI-capability-maps (not conversations). Content-id required.
+
+These are NOT slam-dunks. The pattern is to migrate when filename + content unambiguously map to a named persona; mixed-attribution + tool-capability files stay in `docs/research/`. No claim taken; future-Otto can pick this up with care.
+
+## Step 1-7 trace (canonical 7-step per `docs/AUTONOMOUS-LOOP-PER-TICK.md`)
+
+1. **Refresh**: `bun tools/github/refresh-worldview.ts` ran — 33 open PRs, 5 recent merges, `main` at `75b603d` (1643Z shard).
+2. **Holding-discipline**: NO named dependency wait. Per [`.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md), proceeded to pick speculative work.
+3. **Pick work**: tier-1 sanity-check (verify recent landings) + tier-2 surface-the-§33-residual-state via this shard.
+4. **Verify**: cross-checked PR merge state via `gh pr list` + `git ls-tree origin/main`. Both #3513 + #3516 confirmed merged.
+5. **Shard**: this file.
+6. **CronList**: empty at boot → armed (see Headline).
+7. **Visibility**: this shard + planned PR open.
+
+## Composes with
+
+- [`.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md) — every-session CronList check; arm if missing.
+- [`.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) — borrow-on-existing pattern used (primary worktree mid-rebase, not touched).
+- [`.claude/rules/refresh-before-decide.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/refresh-before-decide.md) — `origin/main` ls-tree authority over local working-tree (which was stale).
+- [`.claude/rules/encoding-rules-without-mechanizing.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/encoding-rules-without-mechanizing.md) — `<<autonomous-loop>>` sentinel re-arming IS the per-session mechanization; remembering doesn't scale.

+# Tick 1719Z — Quiet checkpoint; all recent Otto-CLI PRs merged; nothing in-flight
+
+## Headline
+
+- **PR [#3524](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3524)** (tick 1643Z clean shard) MERGED at 17:10:38Z → `75b603d` on main.
+- **All Otto-CLI PRs from this conversation arc MERGED**: #3511, #3515, #3517, #3518, #3519, #3521, #3523, #3524. Zero in-flight.
+- Cron sentinel `1011e43d` confirmed live.

+## Substrate observation: 8-PR burst landed clean
+
+| PR | Type | Landed | Substance |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| #3511 | shard | `08e19c4` | tick 1524Z (peer-rebase-contention observation) |
+| #3515 | fix | `8145672` | shard-1524z rel-link depth + raw-output mislabel |
+| #3517 | shard | `1d4802e` | tick 1601Z (auto-merge-beats-Copilot pattern) |
+| #3518 | fix | `627e797` | B-0442 + B-0503 + B-0504 + B-0505 status close + spec reconciliation |
+| #3519 | shard | `afc1a99` | tick 1618Z (the B-0442 chain close) |
+| #3521 | shard | `c8e6063` | tick 1629Z (PR #3518 review-cycle closure) |
+| #3523 | backlog | `f2917d1` | B-0532 (backlog-graph consistency lint, P3) |
+| #3524 | shard | `75b603d` | tick 1643Z (B-0532 filing + bad-commit recovery trace) |
+
+All eight landed under auto-merge SQUASH; no force-push to main (all force-push attempts were on Otto-CLI-only fix branches before any PR opened against them).
+
+## Next-tick speculative-work review
+
+Per [`.claude/rules/never-be-idle.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/never-be-idle.md) priority ladder:
+
+- **Tier 1 (known-gap fixes)**: nothing immediately surfaced. The B-0442 chain is fully closed. PR #3524's recovery surfaced the stale-local-`origin/main` failure mode but it's a Class-S (single-incident, manual workaround sufficient) rather than a Class-M (recurring, needs mechanization) — not yet B-row-worthy.
+- **Tier 2 (generative factory improvements)**: B-0532 (filed this session) covers the backlog-graph consistency case. The tick-shard relative-link depth checker is a sibling candidate but feels like grasping after this productive burst.
+- **Tier 3 (gap-of-gap audits)**: not bandwidth-appropriate this tick.
+
+Held until next tick. Composes with Aaron's `feedback_aaron_forgetting_as_backpressure_in_memory_system_*` substrate: forgetting is back-pressure signaling unconsolidated short-term load. The 8-PR burst is unconsolidated until reviewers + main land; quieter pace is the appropriate next-tick shape.
+
+## Real-dependency-wait
+
+None. All my PRs merged; no peer threads I'm authorized to resolve on Lior-branch PRs (#3368 / #3350 / #3345 are Lior lane per [`.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) lane discipline).
+
+## Composes with
+
+- [`.claude/rules/never-be-idle.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/never-be-idle.md) — priority-ladder review applied; no Tier 1 known-gap surfaced
+- [`.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md) — quiet checkpoint shard IS named decomposition (substrate-honest "what happened this tick" record), not a Holding-failure-mode emission
+- [`.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) — lane discipline keeps Otto-CLI off Lior-branch threads
