Summary

Otto-CLI background-worker fire on fresh worktree jiggly-riding-corbato.

Triaged 40 open PRs via bun tools/github/poll-pr-gate-batch.ts --all-open:

  • 4 actionable BLOCKED PRs (3633, 3621, 3597, 3520) all claimed by active peer workers (Lior decompose branches + sibling Claude worker on feat/b0501-history-dedup)
  • 2 wait-ci BLOCKED PRs (3644, 3643); 3644 has auto-merge armed
  • 0 PRs match the strict BLOCKED + resolve-threads criterion in this worker's task packet — threads are gated behind failed CI / dirty merge state, not by thread-resolution alone

Substrate-honest move: leave the branches to their owners + write visibility-shard so other Otto-CLI fires don't redundantly survey state. Pattern noted on Lior decompose branches: identical 5-lint-failure signature from main-drift accumulation — candidate for a generic rebase-and-regenerate notifier in a future tick.

Composes with

  • .claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md — named dependencies present; not Standing-by
  • .claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md — PR-thread-resolution is DOES-NOT-APPLY but worktree contention still applies
  • B-0519 — multi-Otto-branch-state-contamination RCA

Test plan

  • CI green (docs-only path-filtered)
  • Auto-merge clean on this PR

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.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

  • This rule reference is also a bare filename even though the file exists under .claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md; prior tick-shard cleanup documented in docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/15/0503Z.md:9 linked rule refs to full repo-relative paths. Leaving it bare makes the cross-reference harder to navigate and audit.

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.

- Cron `<<autonomous-loop>>` armed at session start (catch-43 compliance)
- `bun tools/github/refresh-worldview.ts` ran clean
- `bun tools/github/poll-pr-gate-batch.ts --all-open` ran clean (1 of ~2 cascade-window

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.

* shard(tick): 2026-05-16T00:44Z — bg-worker triage, 4 BLOCKED PRs all 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.

Substrate-honest move: leave the branches to their owners + write
visibility-shard so other Otto-CLI fires don't redundantly survey.

Composes with:
- `.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`
  (named dependencies present; not Standing-by)
- `.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md` (PR-thread-
  resolution is DOES-NOT-APPLY but worktree contention still applies)

* fix(tick 0044Z): correct thread-carrying PR list + link rule path

- Reconcile bullet with table: 4 thread-carrying PRs are 3597 / 3633 /
  3621 / 3520 (not 3643 — that has 0 threads). 3621 is the parent of
  3633 on `feat/b0449-b0460-subscribe`, not itself a Lior decompose
  branch.
- Link `.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md` and the
  B-0519 RCA row to their full repo-relative paths per the
  rule-link convention from tick 2026-05-15T0503Z.

* 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.

* 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.

* shard(tick): 2026-05-16T02:45Z — GraphQL exhaust on --all-open poll

- Bg-worker session opened, refreshed worldview (45 PRs), then
  poll-pr-gate-batch.ts --all-open hit graphql 0/5000 across 44 errors
- Documented exact failure mode warned by refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md
  cost-awareness section (1.4 --all-open polls per agent-hour with 4 agents
  sharing Aaron's token)
- Bounded named-dependency wait: graphql resets 02:55:28Z (~10 min)
- N=1 brief-ack with concrete substrate output; counter resets per
  holding-without-named-dependency clause
- Lior-gemini active (ps -A); honored no-new-worktree safe-window check
- Otto-owned PRs #3677, #3690, #3649 surveyed via REST (GraphQL-free) for
  next-tick targeted poll plan

Composes with: refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md,
holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md,
codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md

* fix(shard): explain 45→44 PR-count delta in 0245Z tick (Copilot #3691)

The 02:39Z refresh saw 45 open PRs; the 02:41Z `--all-open` batch
internally re-queried `gh pr list --state open` and got 44.
The delta is cascade-window drift (one PR closed in the 2-minute
interval), not a filter — clarify on the bullet so the record is
internally consistent.
