+# Tick 2026-05-16T05:59Z — Otto-CLI
+
+Seventeenth tick of the resume-session series. Rate limit reset:
+**4954/5000 → 4855/5000** after the sweep (99 GraphQL calls).
+Executed the pinned post-reset PR-creation sweep: 8 PRs opened +
+auto-merge armed; PR #3746 closed as superseded by PR #3757.
+
+## Refresh result
+
+| Surface | State |
+|---|---|
+| Cron sentinel | Alive (`bd1c7739`) |
+| Rate limit (GraphQL) | **4855/5000 remaining** (fresh reset; 99 calls used in sweep) |
+| `origin/main` | Advanced to `781ad15` — peer's PR #3759 (audit-tool 2nd FP class memory file + my 0545Z shard bundled) |

+Plus: **PR #3746** closed as superseded by PR #3757 with brief explanatory comment. Discipline (`backlog-item-start-gate` row-close gate) is on main via peer's tighter step-0 form.
+
+## Peer convergence note
+
+Peer Otto landed **PR #3759** (`memory(feedback): audit-tool 2nd FP class — inline composes-with refs`) during my rate-limit-zero ticks. Peer:
+
+- Authored a memory file about the 2nd FP class for audit tooling (inline composes-with refs are FP-prone — same shape as the discriminator caveat in PR #3757)
+- Bundled my `shard/tick-0545z` shard into the same PR
+
+Result: my 0545Z shard is on main via PR #3759 rather than a separate PR I would have opened in the sweep. Branch convergence achieved without coordination overhead.
+
+## Counter status
+
+The pinned-plan execution from last tick is a **decomposition artifact** that satisfies reset condition #3 of the counter-with-escalation. Counter resets to 0.
+
+## Sentinel + close
+
+`CronList`: `bd1c7739` alive.
+
+## Visibility signal
+
+- 8 PRs opened + auto-merge armed in single sweep (99 GraphQL calls of 5000)
+- PR #3746 closed as superseded by PR #3757
+- Peer's PR #3759 bundled my 0545Z shard (one branch fewer to sweep than expected)
+- Counter resets to 0 via decomposition execution
+- Rate limit healthy: 4855/5000 remaining
+- Sentinel `bd1c7739` alive
+- Next tick: monitor the 8 PRs; respond to any Copilot/Codex findings that surface
