| # Tick 2026-05-16T00:44Z — Otto-CLI worker (jiggly-riding-corbato) | ||
|
|
||
| **Surface**: Otto-CLI background worker (Claude Code, Opus 4.7, autonomous-loop tick fired against fresh worktree `jiggly-riding-corbato`) | ||
| **Parent tick**: [2026-05-16T00:23Z](0023Z.md) — M/A coherence-laws type-correctness ([PR #3636](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3636)) | ||
|
|
||
| ## What this worker did | ||
|
|
||
| Triage poll on 40 open PRs via `bun tools/github/poll-pr-gate-batch.ts --all-open`. Identified | ||
| the actionable subset and applied named-dependency discipline rather than racing peer workers. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Actionable PR survey (gate ≠ "UNKNOWN none-armed") | ||
|
|
||
| | PR | Gate | Threads | nextAction | Branch | Active worker | | ||
| |---|---|---|---|---|---| | ||
| | 3644 | BLOCKED | 0 | wait-ci | `kestrel/part3-…` | Otto-CLI (auto-merge armed) | | ||
| | 3643 | BLOCKED | 0 | wait-ci | `lior/decompose-b0459-strict` | Lior; auto-merge NOT armed | | ||
| | 3633 | BLOCKED | 9 | fix-failed-checks | `lior/decompose-3621` | Lior decompose | | ||
| | 3621 | BLOCKED | 10 | fix-failed-checks | `feat/b0449-b0460-subscribe` | parent of 3633 | | ||
| | 3597 | DIRTY | 6 | rebase | `feat/b0501-history-dedup` | sibling worker `.claude/worktrees/cached-sauteeing-plum` | | ||
| | 3520 | DIRTY | 17 | rebase | `lior/decompose-b0058-…` | Lior | | ||
|
|
||
| ## Triage decision | ||
|
|
||
| - **0 PRs match the strict criterion** `gate==BLOCKED && nextAction==resolve-threads` named in | ||
| this worker's instruction packet. The threads on the actionable PRs are gated behind | ||
| failed CI / dirty merge state, not by thread-resolution alone. | ||
| - **All 4 thread-carrying PRs are claimed by active workers**: | ||
| - PR #3597 (6 threads) has `.claude/worktrees/cached-sauteeing-plum` checked out on its | ||
| head ref (b2033b47c, 2026-05-15T18:19Z author push for prior thread sweep) | ||
| - PRs #3633 / #3520 are on Lior decompose branches; PR #3621 | ||
| (`feat/b0449-b0460-subscribe`) is the parent of #3633 — same-owner chain. Lior | ||
| gemini-cli autonomous-loop has been observed across the 0008Z / 0018Z / 0023Z prior | ||
| ticks. PR #3643 has 0 threads and is gated on CI rather than thread resolution. | ||
| - **Per [`.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md)**: | ||
| PR thread resolution falls under the DOES-NOT-APPLY clause, but the | ||
| multi-Otto-branch-state-contamination rule ([B-0519](../../../../../backlog/P3/B-0519-multi-otto-branch-state-contamination-rca-2026-05-14.md)) | ||
| still applies — concurrent checkout of an active peer's branch races the peer's next | ||
| push. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Pattern observed on Lior decompose branches (3633 + 3643) | ||
|
|
||
| Both fail an identical set of 5 lint checks: `BACKLOG.md generated-index drift`, | ||
| `backlog ID uniqueness`, `markdownlint`, `tsc tools`, `§33 migration xrefs`. Plus CodeQL | ||
| fail-at-2s (NOT the broken-commit canary — `git ls-tree pr-head` returns 52 entries vs | ||
| main's 53, healthy delta from in-PR top-level changes). | ||
|
|
||
| This is **main-drift accumulation**: each PR is dozens of commits behind a fast-moving main | ||
| that has added new B-NNNN rows + memory files + §33 migrations. The fix shape is consistent: | ||
| rebase onto main, regenerate `docs/BACKLOG.md` index via `tools/backlog/generate-index.ts`, | ||
| push. Worth a generic notifier when the lint set matches this signature; not done this tick. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Holding-discipline trace | ||
|
|
||
| Named dependencies present: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Lior gemini-cli on `lior/decompose-*` branches (active across last 3 ticks) | ||
| 2. Sibling Claude worker on `.claude/worktrees/cached-sauteeing-plum` (PR #3597) | ||
| 3. Auto-merge daemon on armed PRs (3644) | ||
|
|
||
| This is **not Standing-by failure mode**: there are concrete other workers I would race if | ||
| I touched the same branches. The substrate-honest move is to leave the branches to their | ||
| owners and write this visibility-shard so other Otto-CLI fires don't redundantly survey the | ||
| same state. | ||
|
|
||
| ## State at tick end | ||
|
|
||
| - 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 | ||
| budget burned; second poll cost-deferred per `refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md`) | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. Fixed in PR #3677: |
||
|
|
||
| ## Next-tick candidates | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Auto-merge arm on PR #3643** — if Lior finishes rebase + lint fixes, having | ||
| `gh pr merge 3643 --auto --squash` pre-armed lets the daemon take over (low risk if Lior's | ||
| pace stays > Otto worker pace; high reward on idle Lior) | ||
| 2. **Generic lint-set-matches-main-drift notifier** — when a Lior PR fails the 5-lint | ||
| signature, post a bus envelope with the rebase-and-regenerate recipe instead of | ||
| triaging by hand each tick | ||
| 3. **Tick shard cadence** — continue per-tick shards while the active-worker queue is hot | ||

Substrate-honest fix is in PR #3677 (separate branch
otto/3677-thread-fix-2026-05-16because 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, sopoll-pr-gate.tsdoesn'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.
