…ws + 2 substrate memories + 5 contamination classes ~8h autonomous-loop session (cold-boot 09:28Z → 17:24Z) final tally: - 11 actual close-row PRs landed - 2 substrate memory files (catalog + class-5 contamination) - 30+ audit shards in docs/hygiene-history/ticks/ - 2 multi-row cluster cascades closed (B-0037 family + Amara cluster) - 5 multi-Otto contamination classes operationalized with mitigations - 3 counter-with-escalation forced-actions, each producing higher-value substrate - Aaron's 2026-04-30 silent-courier-debt constraint operationally CLEARED 22 audit candidates remain (mostly correctly-partial #2-class requiring M+ effort implementation; outside audit-triage scope). Natural saturation point at the audit/implementation boundary. Future-Otto cold-boot inherits 2 substrate memory files + 11 close-rows on main + sub-class catalog for implementation-candidate pickup.

Pull request overview
This PR adds a single new tick shard documenting the final-tally of an ~8-hour Otto-CLI audit session arc, including 11 close-row PR references, 2 new substrate memory files, and a catalog of 5 multi-Otto contamination classes. It's a pure history/hygiene-history surface addition with no code changes.
Changes:
- Adds a session-arc final-tally tick shard summarizing 11 landed close-row PRs and the B-0037 + Amara cluster cascades.
- Documents 5 multi-Otto contamination recovery patterns and a sub-class catalog table.
- Records remaining 22 audit candidates and notes for future-Otto cold-boot inheritance.

…3924) Empirical 5-tick brief-ack chain after PR #3919 (session-arc final-tally) merged. Each brief-ack technically satisfied counter-with-escalation's 'named bounded ETA' criterion (rate reset) but was ceremonial — the named wait wasn't pointing at substantive next-work. Two-class distinction: - Substantive-wait: PR in CI, Aaron reply, external service with latency - Ceremonial-wait: rate reset, cron tick interval, nothing-to-do-but-wait Forward-going discipline: at session-saturation, name the state explicitly and stop emitting brief-ack ceremony. Cron persistence is sentinel-side; agent persistence is contingent on actionable work. Meta-recursive: this memory file IS the forced-escalation output of brief-ack #6 in the post-#3919-merge cycle. Counter-with-escalation authored the substrate documenting the very pattern it caught. Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Final substrate landing of the ~8h audit cycle session arc (cold-boot 09:28Z → 17:24Z).
Tally
22 audit candidates remain (mostly correctly-partial class #2 requiring M+ effort implementation; outside audit-triage scope).
