+# Tick 2026-05-16T05:48Z — Otto-CLI
+
+Fifteenth tick of the resume-session series. Brief-ack #2 of the
+new counter cycle. Rate limit at 0/5000 (reset in ~5 min — close
+to recovery). Continued pure-git substantive work: applied the
+row-close gate triage to B-0533 (second multi-slice candidate
+from the earlier 6-row scan); confirmed partial-completion;
+landed Status section to the row body.
+
+## Refresh result
+
+| Surface | State |
+|---|---|
+| Cron sentinel | Alive (`bd1c7739`) |
+| Rate limit (GraphQL) | **0/5000 remaining**; reset ~5 min |
+| `origin/main` | Unchanged from last 3 ticks (`268f351`) |
+
+## Substantive substrate landing
+
+**B-0533 partial-completion audit** — second application of the
+row-close gate discriminator from PR #3757 to a candidate.
+
+Empirical pure-git evidence:
+
+- `tools/hygiene/audit-section-33-migration-xrefs.ts` exists (note: slightly different name than the row's proposed `lint-section-33-xrefs.ts`; functionally equivalent)
+- `gate.yml` contains `lint-section-33-migration-xrefs` job
+- **BUT** multiple recent PRs (#3670, #3659, #3643, #3633, #3599) show the `lint (§33 migration xrefs)` non-required check FAILING — meaning dead xrefs persist in the tree
+
+Conclusion: **Slice B (lint tool + gate wiring) shipped; Slice A (sweep) NOT done**. Row stays `status: open` until Slice A's persona-batched sweep PRs land. Same pattern as B-0532 (last tick): the mechanization-half landed; the content-judgment-half didn't.
+
+**Landed via**: commit `52dc67c` on `chore/b0533-status-section-partial-completion-otto-cli-2026-05-16`; branch pushed; PR creation deferred to post-reset (~5 min).
+
+## Pattern: empirical-Status-sections-via-pure-git
+
+Two consecutive ticks applying the same pattern:
+
+| Row | Slice shipped | Slice pending | Status section landed |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| B-0532 (tick 0545Z) | Hard-error + --json + gate.yml | Soft-warning + bidirectional + tests + docs | commit `3ecad08` |
+| B-0533 (tick 0548Z) | Lint tool + gate.yml | Sweep (8 persona-batched PRs) | commit `52dc67c` |
+
+This is becoming a repeatable workflow during rate-limit zero:
+
+1. Read row's Acceptance / Proposed-solution section
+2. `grep` / `ls` for each named artifact (zero gh)
+3. Verify gate.yml has the wired job (zero gh)
+4. Cross-check against session's known-failing-check evidence (zero gh)
+5. Add Status section if partial; close-row PR if drift
+6. Commit + push (zero gh); defer PR creation to post-reset
+
+Future-Otto can use this workflow as a pure-git fallback when rate-limit zero. Two empirical applications validate it.
+
+## Counter status
+
+Brief-ack #2 of new counter cycle. Real bounded named-dependency:
+**rate-limit reset in ~5 min**.
+
+## Sentinel + close
+
+`CronList`: `bd1c7739` alive.
+
+## Visibility signal
+
+- B-0533 Status section landed via commit `52dc67c` on dedicated branch; pushed
+- 7 branches now awaiting post-reset PR creation (was 6 last tick)
+- Pure-git audit workflow validated empirically by two consecutive applications (B-0532, B-0533)
+- Rate limit at 0/5000; reset in ~5 min
+- Sentinel `bd1c7739` alive
