…_TOKEN header doc + grammar - **#405 P1 (Codex):** empty provenance cone now FAILS G_carrier_overlap (treats missing-lineage as suspicious, not best-case). Prior fix made overlap=0 which let provenance-empty + advisory-evidence-v0 stack into GREEN — the carrier-laundering safeguard would have missed exactly the records that should trigger review. Now the gate definition reads: fail-RED on (overlap > θ_high) OR (cone empty); fail-YELLOW on (overlap > θ_med). - **#411 P1 (Copilot):** gate.yml header 'No secrets referenced' was inaccurate after I added the workflow-level GITHUB_TOKEN env. Updated the header bullet to name the token explicitly + reference its read-only inheritance from permissions: contents: read + the workflow-vs-step-scope trade-off (DRY for ~7 install steps). - **#413 P2 (Copilot):** 'requires any modify' → 'requires any add-or-modify on' grammar fix. Note on #411 P2 (restrict GITHUB_TOKEN to install steps): trade-off documented in the header bullet rather than refactoring 7 install steps to per-step env. Reply explains. Note on #415 (name attribution in drain-log): docs/pr-preservation/ is a HISTORY surface per Otto-279 — names are policy-correct there. Reply explains.

Pull request overview
Updates post-merge drain-thread outcomes across documentation and CI workflow commentary, aligning spec behavior and workflow documentation with the intended safeguards and token usage.
Changes:
- Treats an empty provenance cone as suspicious (RED) in the
G_carrier_overlapgate definition (doc/spec update). - Updates
gate.ymlheader commentary to accurately describesecrets.GITHUB_TOKENusage and the workflow-level env scoping trade-off. - Fixes grammar in a BACKLOG entry describing the memory index integrity guard.

…#453) Otto-268 follow-on: drain-log for the **maximum-multi-parent cascade** observed in this drain wave — #424 was a follow-up to FOUR parent PRs simultaneously (#405 empty-cone + #411 GITHUB_TOKEN header + #413 grammar + #415 Otto-279 policy reply). Composes-vs-serializes tradeoff favored compose: one commit + one merge gate addressed all four parents. Per Otto-250 training-signal discipline. Pattern observations: 1. Maximum-multi-parent cascade: 4 parents in one follow-up. Composes when findings are independent + small. #423 had 2 parents; #424 doubled to 4. 2. fail-YELLOW vs fail-RED on structurally-normal empty-input cases (empty cone, zero qualifying findings, no diff to lint) — over- blocking risk when fail-RED on empty-input. CI-design candidate: every audit script should explicitly classify "empty-input" behavior at design time. 3. GitHub canonical-example form (`Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN`) vs accepted-also (`Authorization: Bearer $GITHUB_TOKEN`); prefer canonical for reader friction reduction. 4. Otto-279 surface-class reply remains stamp-uniform across the corpus regardless of multi-parent grouping; the multi-parent grouping doesn't change per-finding response.
