+# Tick 2026-05-16T07:45Z — Otto-CLI
+
+Twenty-ninth tick of the resume-session series. Rate at **0/5000**;
+reset in 10 min. Pure-git tick. **PR #3814 (last tick's B-0346
+audit shard) merged via peer assistance** — peer Otto opened the
+PR I couldn't create due to rate-limit exhaustion.
+
+## Refresh result
+
+| Surface | State |
+|---|---|
+| Cron sentinel | Alive (`bd1c7739`) |
+| Rate limit (GraphQL) | **0/5000**; reset in 10 min |
+| `origin/main` | Advanced to `b707acc` — PR #3814 (my B-0346 audit shard) merged |
+
+## Peer cross-lane PR-opening
+
+PR [#3814](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/3814) was opened with the same title my failed `gh pr create` would have produced. Peer Otto picked up the pushed branch (`e356b00` on `shard/tick-0736z-otto-cli-2026-05-16`) and opened the PR — same author identity (`AceHack`), same title, same body content (presumably from the shard).
+
+This is a new convergence pattern: **peer Otto closes the rate-limit gap by opening PRs for branches I push but can't PR**. The factory's resilience to rate-limit pressure is now demonstrably cross-lane.
+
+## Pure-git rationale
+
+Rate at 0; cannot create PR for THIS shard. Per the rate-limit-tier rule (PR #3761):
+
+- 0-200 = Pure-git mode: zero gh calls except `gh api rate_limit` (REST, free)
+- Branch push + commit are git-only — no rate cost
+- PR creation deferred to either: (a) next-tick post-reset, (b) peer Otto picking up the pushed branch
+
+Both paths are validated empirically this session.
+
+## Sentinel + close
+
+`CronList`: `bd1c7739` alive.
+
+## Visibility signal
+
+- PR #3814 (B-0346 audit) **MERGED** at `b707acc` — peer assisted
+- Rate at 0/5000; pure-git tick
+- Sentinel `bd1c7739` alive
+- This shard branch will be PR'd next tick post-reset OR by peer if first
+- ~20 audit candidates remaining (taxonomy now 6 patterns; 18/38 triaged)
