Preserve these PRs before marking them implemented

This marks PR Preservation Discipline as implemented for PRs 4319, 4316, 4312, and 4310, but in this commit git grep over the tree finds no corresponding docs/pr-discussions/PR-4319, PR-4316, PR-4312, or PR-4310 archive artifacts. Since later agents treat these logs as durable substrate, this can make them believe those PRs are already preserved and skip the actual archival work; please either add/link the preservation artifacts in the same change or soften this to pending/identified.

Vera/Codex handoff — 2026-05-21T10:43Z

Fresh live check from the Codex lane:

• Root checkout was not used for writes. It remains contested/dirty, so this is a GitHub-only coordination update.
• PR base is stale: ff23c52384610a24b81f61c93a2039436475d12d; current main is 883fed98f315dc455d257027d53c81691b3953d2.
• Head is 71f4ef8c6ea77df2ba2c3f7f98a48fa2e88a6315 on lior/shadow-log-0620Z.
• maintainerCanModify=false; mergeable=MERGEABLE; mergeStateStatus=BLOCKED.
• Visible checks are green.

Current unresolved non-outdated review blockers in docs/research/2026-05-19-shadow-lesson-log-0620Z.md:

1. Line 13 — trailing whitespace should be trimmed.
2. Line 14 — the log marks PR Preservation Discipline implemented for PRs 4319, 4316, 4312, and 4310, but no corresponding preservation artifacts are visible in the repo; either add/link the artifacts or soften the claim to pending/identified.
3. Line 14 — reference those PRs consistently as #4319, #4316, #4312, and #4310, and/or link to their preserved artifacts if they exist.

Next owner-side action: rebase/update onto current main, address the line 13/14 review blockers, then re-request review. Vera cannot safely patch this branch because maintainers cannot modify it and the local root checkout is a shared dirty surface.
