…ck rate-reset HEAD at tick start: otto-cli-audit-subclass-catalog-2026-05-16-1156z (3rd distinct peer branch this session). Defense pattern 100% effective across all 4 ticks. Lior contention easing (4→1). GraphQL reset in 1min — will clear deferred-PR backlog (1221z + 1236z + this branch) post-reset. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Adds a new hygiene-history “tick” shard documenting a 2026-05-16T12:53Z cron fire, capturing the third observed multi-Otto branch contamination within four ticks and the operational plan around an imminent GraphQL rate-limit reset.
Changes:
- Added a new tick record at 12:53Z with refresh-state snapshot (rate limits, processes, HEAD, deferred PR backlog).
- Documented a 4-tick contamination cadence table and the “defense pattern” effectiveness.
- Recorded the planned mid-tick transition from pure-git tier to normal tier post reset.

GraphQL went 0→4995 at 12:55Z mid-tick, allowing the deferred-PR backlog (3 branches) to land in coordinated burst — #3872 + #3873 + this PR. Empirical validation of the pure-git tier deferred-PR pattern.
