…peer-owned Otto-CLI background-worker fire (worktree `jiggly-riding-corbato`). Triaged 40 open PRs; 4 of 6 actionable are claimed by active peer workers (Lior decompose branches + sibling Claude worker on PR #3597). No PR matches the strict `BLOCKED + resolve-threads` criterion in this worker's task packet — threads are gated by failed CI / dirty merge state.

Pull request overview
This PR adds a single hygiene-history tick shard documenting the 2026-05-16T00:44Z Otto-CLI background-worker triage of open PR gate state and peer-worker ownership.
Changes:
- Adds a tick report for the PR survey, triage decision, and holding-discipline rationale.
- Records observed main-drift lint failure patterns on selected peer-owned PRs.
- Lists next-tick candidates for auto-merge arming and notifier automation.

…cklog/P3 paths Per Codex review threads on PR #3649: - Line 34: claim-acquire rule link needed 6 ../ to reach repo root from docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/16/ (was 5; resolved to docs/.claude/...) - Line 36: B-0519 backlog link needed 5 ../ (was 4; resolved to docs/hygiene-history/backlog/... which does not exist) Both links now resolve correctly from the nested tick path.

Substrate-honest fix is in PR #3677 (separate branch otto/3677-thread-fix-2026-05-16 because the auto-mode classifier declined a direct push to this shard branch — Lior-gemini active in process list, broken-commit-canary guard applies). The clarification adds: the 5 lints are non-required, so poll-pr-gate.ts doesn't classify on them; #3633 vs #3643 action divergence reflects independent required-check state. Leaving this thread unresolved on #3649 since the fix isn't on this branch; if #3677 merges first, this thread becomes substrate-honest history and can be resolved then.

Fixed in PR #3677: refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md → [.claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md](../../../../../../.claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md) matching the same six-up relative-path convention this shard uses elsewhere (line 34 claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md). Leaving unresolved here until the fix lands; #3677 will close the loop once it merges to main.

Caught by Copilot review threads on PR #3649. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(tick 0044Z): correct relative link depth for .claude/rules and backlog/P3 paths Per Codex review threads on PR #3649: - Line 34: claim-acquire rule link needed 6 ../ to reach repo root from docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/16/ (was 5; resolved to docs/.claude/...) - Line 36: B-0519 backlog link needed 5 ../ (was 4; resolved to docs/hygiene-history/backlog/... which does not exist) Both links now resolve correctly from the nested tick path. * shard(0044Z): address Copilot review on PR #3649 Two findings from copilot-pull-request-reviewer: 1. Action-classification inconsistency: the shard said PRs #3633 and #3643 "both fail an identical set of 5 lint checks" while the table classified them with different nextActions (#3633→fix-failed-checks, #3643→wait-ci). Clarify the 5 lints are NON-required and explain the action divergence comes from independent required-check state, not from the shared lint signature. 2. Bare filename `refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md` → full path link `[.claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md](../../../../../../.claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md)` matching the link convention used elsewhere in this shard. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(markdownlint): prefix bare #3643 with "PR" to avoid MD018 Line 51 starts with `#3643` after wrap, which markdownlint reads as an atx heading without space (MD018/no-missing-space-atx). Prefixing with "PR " makes it a normal sentence continuation and matches the "PR #NNNN" style used elsewhere in the shard. Unblocks the required `lint (markdownlint)` check on PR #3677.
