Summary

The lint (§33 migration xrefs) check has been firing as a non-required failure on every PR this session (PRs #3626, #3628, #3631, #3636, #3639, #3641, #3646, #3647, #3650, #3652, #3653, #3654, #3657, #3661, #3662, #3663). Root cause: the docs/research/memory/persona/otto/conversations/ migration (B-0533) left 22 dead references across 18 files.

Mechanical bulk fix: 12 unique target filenames substituted in-place in 18 source files. Each substitution is docs/research/<NAME>.mdmemory/persona/otto/conversations/<NAME>.md for a SPECIFIC filename (no blanket replacement of docs/research/ — only the 12 known-migrated filenames).

Verification:

  • bun tools/hygiene/audit-section-33-migration-xrefs.ts --enforce was 22 dead xrefs before this commit, 0 dead xrefs after
  • Pure-substitution diff: +22/-22, no content changes
  • All 12 target files verified to exist in memory/persona/otto/conversations/
  • ls-tree canary clean (53/53 root entries)

Files changed

18 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-)
- 1 .claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md
- 6 docs/backlog/P*/B-*.md (B-0003, B-0061, B-0239, B-0313, B-0400, B-0001, B-0196, B-0002 — 8 backlog rows total; some have 2 hits)
- 9 memory/feedback_*.md
- 1 memory/CURRENT-aaron.md
- 1 memory/user_*.md

Remaining drift

The other 4 perpetual non-required-check failures remain:

  • lint (backlog ID uniqueness) — B-0498 collision already scoped at B-0545
  • lint (tsc tools) — needs separate investigation
  • check docs/BACKLOG.md generated-index drift — needs regen pass
  • check MEMORY.md generated-index drift — needs regen pass

Test plan

  • audit-section-33-migration-xrefs.ts --enforce returns 0 dead xrefs (was 22)
  • Pure-substitution property: 12 sed expressions, each scoped to a specific filename
  • Pre/post-commit ls-tree canary clean (53/53; Lior gone)
  • CI green (docs-only; expect lint (§33 migration xrefs) to FLIP from fail → pass)

…quired-check)

The `lint (§33 migration xrefs)` check has been firing as non-required failure
on every PR this session. Root cause: the docs/research → memory/persona/otto/
conversations/ migration (B-0533) left 22 dead references across 18 files,
pointing at docs/research/<filename>.md paths that now live at
memory/persona/otto/conversations/<filename>.md.

Mechanical bulk fix: 12 unique target filenames (each present in
memory/persona/otto/conversations/, verified) substituted in-place in 18
source files. Pure-substitution diff (+22/-22), no content changes.

Files touched:
- 1 .claude/rules/
- 6 docs/backlog/P*/
- 9 memory/feedback_*.md
- 1 memory/CURRENT-aaron.md
- 1 memory/user_*.md

Verification:
- `bun tools/hygiene/audit-section-33-migration-xrefs.ts --enforce` was 22
  dead xrefs before this commit, 0 dead xrefs after.
- ls-tree canary: 53/53 root entries (no commit-tree corruption)
- Pure-substitution property: 12 sed expressions, each scoped to a specific
  filename; no blanket docs/research/ replacement risk

Composes with B-0533 (the §33 migration that produced the drift) and B-0535
(the catch-once-then-lint pattern that surfaced it as a CI gate).

The other 4 perpetual non-required-check failures (`backlog ID uniqueness`,
`tsc tools`, `BACKLOG.md drift`, `MEMORY.md drift`) remain. B-0498 ID
collision is already scoped at B-0545.

…xrefs cleared via PR #3666 (#3667)

After 9-tick meta-loop converged (PRs #3661+#3662 merged clean), pivoted to
higher-value substrate work: the perpetual non-required-check drift that
has been firing on every PR this session.

PR #3666: pure-substitution +22/-22 across 18 files; audit script confirms
22 dead xrefs → 0 dead xrefs. The lint (§33 migration xrefs) check should
flip fail → pass on the next PR.

Meta-observation: 2 distinct loop patterns this session — PR-thread
async-review meta-loop (converges with effort) vs perpetual non-required-
check drift (accumulates without cleanup work). Required-checks-only auto-
merge let both through.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes the perpetual lint (§33 migration xrefs) failure by updating stale cross-references that still point at docs/research/<NAME>.md to instead point at the migrated archive location memory/persona/otto/conversations/<NAME>.md.

Changes:

  • Updated 22 xrefs across memory files, backlog rows, and a .claude/rules doc to the post-migration archive paths.
  • Kept changes scoped to specific known-migrated filenames (no blanket docs/research/ rewrite).
  • Updated memory/CURRENT-aaron.md and related memos to reference the new archived conversation paths.

…ft non-required-check (#3678)

Mechanical regen via `BACKLOG_WRITE_FORCE=1 bun tools/backlog/generate-index.ts`.
Source: per-row files in `docs/backlog/P*/B-*.md`. Diff is +16/-1; new backlog
rows added since last index regen (recent decomposition + QG-isomorphism rows
B-0543–B-0548 etc.) are now reflected.

`bun tools/backlog/generate-index.ts --check` now exit 0 → the
`check docs/BACKLOG.md generated-index drift` non-required CI check will flip
fail → pass on subsequent PRs.

Second of three drift cleanups deferred from tick 0111Z (after PR #3666 cleared
the 22 §33 xrefs). Two more remain: `lint (backlog ID uniqueness)` (B-0498
collision per B-0545) and `lint (tsc tools)` (pending investigation).

Drift queue from 0111Z: 22 §33 xrefs (#3666 merged), BACKLOG.md regen (#3678 this
tick, armed), backlog ID uniqueness + tsc tools (open). Borrow-pattern used twice
this tick on /private/tmp/zeta-tick-2210z while Lior remains active.

Holding-discipline counter resets per "actually picking real decomposition work"
clause — concrete code substrate landed this tick.

…nt (tsc tools) (#3684)

`publishHeartbeat` accepted `"alive" | "shutdown"`, but the bus's
`HeartbeatPayload.status` is `"alive" | "idle" | "working"` and consumers
(`tools/bus/bus.ts` line 331) filter to that union. `"shutdown"` would
silently drop at the bus consumer even if the type allowed it.

Surgical fix:
- Import `HeartbeatPayload` type from `tools/bus/types.ts`
- Bind the local `status` param to `HeartbeatPayload["status"]` (single
  source of truth; future-proof if the bus union widens)
- Change the SIGINT-graceful-shutdown call site to publish
  `("alive", "shutdown:terminal-closed")` — the shutdown semantic is
  preserved in the `note` field where it actually reaches consumers

Local verify: `bun --bun tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` → exit 0.

Third of three drift cleanups from the 0111Z queue (after 22 §33 xrefs via
PR #3666 and BACKLOG.md regen via PR #3678). One drift remains:
`lint (backlog ID uniqueness)` — B-0498 collision per B-0545.

…of 3 drift items) (#3685)

Riven cursor-terminal heartbeat status type tightened to bus union. Single
tsc error since PR #3603 cleared via surgical 3-line fix (preserve shutdown
semantic in note field; no widening of HeartbeatPayload union).

Drift queue from 0111Z: 22 §33 xrefs (#3666 merged), BACKLOG.md regen
(#3678 merged), tsc tools (#3684 armed this tick). Remaining: backlog ID
uniqueness (B-0498 collision, needs B-0545 renumber coordination).
