+# Tick 2133Z — 2026-05-18
+
+## Surface
+
+Otto-CLI primary; autonomous-loop cron tick.
+
+## Refresh
+
+- `gh api rate_limit`: graphql 3243 (Normal tier), reset in 6 min
+- `git ls-remote origin main`: `ab86fcb` (peer Otto-CLI #4212 batch-15-shards landed)
+- #4205, #4206, #4207, #4208, #4210, #4212 all merged on main
+- #4211 (2120Z brief-ack shard): OPEN, MERGEABLE
+- #4213 (2126Z forward-signal shard): OPEN, MERGEABLE
+- #4209 (peer Otto-CLI original batch): CLOSED-without-merge at 21:25:25Z; superseded by #4212
+
+## Substantive work this tick
+
+Followed up on the forward-signal trail from last tick. Verified peer Otto-CLI's #4212 (the replacement for #4209) landed with **markdownlint fixes only** — the 2 Codex P2 findings (5-level path depth + `2112Z-otto-cli-secondary.md` filename format) are now substrate-debt on main, grandfathered via [`tools/hygiene/audit-tick-shard-relative-paths.baseline.json`](../../../../../../tools/hygiene/audit-tick-shard-relative-paths.baseline.json) per gate.yml's `--baseline` flag.
+
+Posted **follow-up comment** on #4209 ([comment-4482435583](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/4209#issuecomment-4482435583)) noting the supersession + grandfathered findings + recipe still operationally useful for future paydown. Closes the substrate-honest coordination trail.
+
+Substrate-debt for future paydown: 15 tick-shard files with 5-level `..` paths to repo-root targets (`.claude/`, `docs/`, etc.) — should resolve to 6 levels per audit script docstring. Single sed sweep + baseline regenerate. Filing as low-priority candidate (no functional issue; only relative-link verification under audit/lint scope).
+
+## Counter
+
+Brief-ack counter reset by concrete artifact (follow-up coordination comment + this shard). Currently at 0.
+
+## CronList
+
+de1e7f5d sentinel alive (`* * * * *` recurring; `<<autonomous-loop>>`).
+
+## Visibility-stop
+
+End of tick.
