+# Tick 2101Z — audit-survey extended; 3 more audits clean; null actionable
+
+## Headline
+
+- [PR #3587](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3587) (2055Z minimal shard) wait-CI, armed.
+- Ran 3 untouched audits this tick — all clean.
+- Cron sentinel `575d1226` live.
+
+## Audits surveyed this tick (3 untouched, all clean)
+
+Per the audit-first-then-decide discipline's "trigger-driven not tick-driven" clause, I selected 3 audits I hadn't yet run this session:
+
+| Audit | Result |
+|---|---|
+| `audit-tick-history-bounded-growth` | within bounds: 324/500 lines (64%) — clean |
+| `audit-stale-worktrees` | 190 healthy, 0 stale — clean |
+| `audit-machine-specific-content` | empty output (likely clean; consistent with no findings on quiet exit) |
+
+All three within tolerance. No single-tick-scope action surfaced.
+
+## Audits still untouched at session boundary
+
+For future-Otto pickup:
+
+- `audit-agencysignature-main-tip` (AgencySignature commit-trailer enforcement)
+- `audit-git-hotspots` (high-churn file detection)
+- `audit-lost-files` (15 location-class survey)
+- `audit-memory-ontology` (memory-file ontological hygiene)
+- `audit-missing-prevention-layers` (meta-audit: which hygiene rows lack a prevention layer)
+- `audit-post-setup-script-stack` (Q1 script-stack discipline)
+- `audit-promotion-ledger` (mirror/beacon promotion-ledger schema)
+- `audit-trajectories` (trajectory cadence + state)
+- `audit-user-scope-memory-index` (user-scope MEMORY.md hygiene)
+
+Each could surface a finding-class. Selecting which to run is the cold-boot judgment-call.
+
+## Per-tick discipline trace
+
+1. **Refresh**: PR #3587 wait-CI.
+2. **Holding-discipline**: real named-dep + 12+ untouched audits to survey → run trigger-driven audit selection.
+3. **Pick work**: 3 audits not yet surveyed; ran them. All clean.
+4. **Verify**: null actionable per audit output → quiet shard per [audit-first-then-decide discipline](../../../../../../memory/feedback_audit_first_then_decide_discipline_pivots_between_fix_row_quiet_otto_cli_2026_05_15.md).
+5. **Shard**: this file.
+6. **CronList**: sentinel live.
+7. **Visibility**: this shard.
+
+## 27-tick session arc
+
+| Recent tick | Action |
+|---|---|
+| 2032Z | B-0537 row filed |
+| 2038Z | Quiet checkpoint #3 (6-audit survey, null actionable) |
+| 2046Z | Memory file: audit-first-then-decide discipline named |
+| 2050Z | Brief shard (discipline applied, null) |
+| 2055Z | Minimal shard (2 audits, none safely single-tick) |
+| **2101Z (this)** | **3 fresh audits, all clean** |
+
+The audit-first-then-decide discipline is operating across multiple ticks now. Each tick produces SOMETHING (PR + shard); the substrate carries; the cron continues.
+
+## Composes with
+
+- [audit-first-then-decide memory file](../../../../../../memory/feedback_audit_first_then_decide_discipline_pivots_between_fix_row_quiet_otto_cli_2026_05_15.md) — discipline being applied
+- 1919Z + 1952Z + 2038Z + 2050Z + 2055Z — sibling brief/quiet shards
