Audit cycle 38/38 holds. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

…3901) Today's session produced 3 distinct instances where forced escalation at brief-ack #6 (or pre-emptive at #5) surfaced substantive work the brief-ack-only ticks had missed: - 14:56Z #6 → PR #3894 hid 6 Copilot findings (22 min stale) - 15:29Z pre-emptive #5 → PR #3883 (own) stale-armed 108 min - 15:45Z #6 → PR #3545 forward-signal comment (19+ hr stale) Pattern observation worth carving into the rule's empirical- anchor section so future-Otto inherits the validated discipline: the counter forces invocation of investigation discipline on regular cadence, which IS where the hidden work is.

Investigation discipline + small-countable-blocker hypothesis (per the rule) continues to pay off. Of 3 stale-armed PRs:
Net: 2 of 3 fully cleared this session via investigation alone.
