…ferred PR-create + auto-merge to next tick Fifth tick of the resume-session series. Per never-be-idle ladder, picked substantive substrate work while PR #3744 was in CI wait: extended .claude/rules/backlog-item-start-gate.md with a companion row-close gate codifying the drift / partial / multi-slice triage discipline from this session's drift-catch burst. Rule extension landed as commit 559f7cd on chore/backlog-item-close-gate-otto-cli-2026-05-16. PR created (URL output cut by rate-limit). Auto-merge arm + this-shard's PR creation deferred to next tick when GitHub GraphQL rate limit resets (~04:56Z). Rate-limit hit per refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md cost-awareness: multi-agent shared-token consumption (Otto-CLI + Otto-Desktop + Lior + Vera + Riven) on a 5000/hr budget exhausted at 5003 used. Recovery discipline: stop further gh calls until reset; continue git+file operations; defer arm + verify to next tick. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

…tence-check) Four-catch empirical evidence from 2026-05-16T04:15Z–04:51Z session (B-0506, B-0528, B-0530, B-0535 across two Otto-CLI surfaces). The pattern extends backlog-item-start-gate with a zero-th step: run existence-check on artifact paths BEFORE writing any implementation. Cost ~3 seconds; saves the entire tick when work has already shipped. Mechanization candidate (audit tool) filed in the memory body, not yet a row.

- Added a feedback memory documenting claim-acquire plus artifact existence-check discipline.
- Added the 0451Z hygiene tick shard covering row-close-gate work and rate-limit handling.
- Regenerated
memory/MEMORY.mdto include newly indexed memory entries.
