+# PR #4363: shard(0826Z): Pure-git tier; deferred-PR queue + counter cycle
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+Tick shard for 0826Z. Cycle-new after 2 named-deps surfaced (PR #4358 my combined lint fix + PR #4356 peer-Otto B-0211 slice 1). GraphQL exhausted to 4 → Pure-git tier; both this shard and the prior 0816Z shard sat pushed-but-un-PRed pending reset.
+
+Documents:
+- Counter discipline survived 2-named-dep merge cycle without Standing-by exposure
+- Pure-git tier worked-example (substrate written + committed + pushed without any GraphQL spend)
+- Auto-merge-race lesson generalized for potential rule extension
+
+## Test plan
+- [x] Shard at canonical `docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/19/0826Z.md`
+- [x] Relative paths use 6-level `../` (correct depth)

+
+## Pull request overview
+
+Adds a new tick shard documenting the 0826Z hygiene tick: counter reset after two named-deps merged, operation on the Pure-git tier (GraphQL budget at 4), and a deferred-PR queue for two shard branches awaiting reset.
+
+**Changes:**
+- Adds `0826Z.md` tick shard under the canonical `docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/19/` path
+- Uses 6-level `../` relative paths to reach `.claude/rules/` (per PR #4358 lint fix)
+- Generalizes auto-merge-race lesson as a candidate rule extension

+
+P2 (nit): Line has trailing whitespace after the colon (`**Imperative**:`). Please remove the trailing space to avoid noisy diffs / whitespace-only churn in future edits.
+

+
+**@copilot-pull-request-reviewer** (2026-05-19T08:49:12Z):
+
+P1: The referenced tick shard path `docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/19/0803Z.md` does not exist in this branch/repo snapshot, so the archive currently points to a missing artifact. Either the path is wrong or the shard file needs to be present for this PR-discussion archive to be self-consistent.
+
+This issue also appears on line 23 of the same file.
+
+### Thread 3: docs/pr-discussions/PR-4357-shard-0803z-otto-cli-fresh-cold-boot-sentinel-re-arm-saturat.md:22 (resolved)
+
+**@copilot-pull-request-reviewer** (2026-05-19T08:49:12Z):
+
+P1: This references `zeta-expected-branch.md`, but the in-repo rule is `.claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md`. Using the full path here would make the cross-reference unambiguous and consistent with the surrounding `.claude/rules/...` citations.

+P1: The test-plan command references `tools/hygiene/audit-tick-shard-relative-paths.ts`, but that file does not exist in `tools/hygiene/` (or elsewhere in the repo). Please fix the command/tool name to match the actual script, otherwise this archive’s verification claim can’t be reproduced.

Stale-but-fresh: TRUE at write-time, self-healed at merge-time. Resolves no-op.
+- **Thread 3 (P1 path qualification on inline reference)** — archived PR-discussion prose; retroactive rewriting of preserved content not appropriate.

+# PR #4365: rule: auto-merge-race-with-follow-up-commit anti-pattern
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+Extends [`.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md`](.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md) with the auto-merge-race-with-follow-up-commit anti-pattern.
+
+Empirical anchor from this session's PR #4357 (2026-05-19T08:03Z-08:16Z): arming auto-merge with a non-required check failing + pushing a follow-up commit to fix it is a race window. The CLEAN-gate transition fires on required-checks-only state; if all required checks complete before the follow-up commit's CI run starts, auto-merge fires on the first commit's content and the follow-up lands on main never. Substrate-honest correction required a second PR ([#4358](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/4358)).
+
+Adds 3-step operational discipline in priority order:
+1. Don't arm auto-merge until all commits pushed (preferred; arming is cheap and reversible)
+2. If arming early, treat non-required `warnings` as required during arm window
+3. Accept first-commit content + ship follow-up as separate PR
+
+Detection via `bun tools/github/poll-pr-gate.ts <PR>` `warnings` field.
+
+## Test plan
+- [x] `bun tools/hygiene/audit-tick-shard-relative-paths.ts --enforce --baseline` exits 0
+- [x] ls-tree HEAD = 53 (matches origin/main `277a0c7d`; no canary)
+- [x] Single-file rule extension; composes with existing stale-armed-PR patterns

+## Pull request overview
+
+Extends the blocked-green-CI rule doc with a new anti-pattern section documenting the auto-merge race window when a follow-up commit is pushed to fix a non-required check. Provides empirical anchor (PR #4357/#4358), a 3-step operational discipline, and a detection recipe via `poll-pr-gate.ts`.
+
+**Changes:**
+- Adds "Auto-merge-race-with-follow-up-commit anti-pattern" subsection
+- Documents 3 prioritized resolutions (don't arm early; treat warnings as required; accept first-commit + separate fix PR)
+- Cross-links to empirical-anchor PRs #4357 and #4358

+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+Otto-CLI fresh cold-boot tick shard at 2026-05-19T10:04:57Z.
+
+- `CronList` → empty at session start; sentinel **missing**; re-armed `dd1af34b` with `<<autonomous-loop>>` every minute per [`tick-must-never-stop.md`](.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md) + catch-43 SessionStart hook
+- **Normal tier** (3924/5000 GraphQL; 28min to reset)
+- Peer saturation: **12 claude-code + 5 gemini-Lior** processes
+- Root worktree heavily contaminated (on stale `otto/2012z-...-2026-05-18` branch ~10h behind main with ~30 working-tree modifications); shard landed from isolated worktree at `/private/tmp/zeta-otto-cli-1005z-coldboot` anchored on `origin/main` SHA `8056b173` per [`zeta-expected-branch.md`](.claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md) race-window-caveat + [`claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) saturation-ceiling
+
+## Verification
+
+- `git branch --show-current` guard ✓ before commit
+- `git ls-tree HEAD | wc -l` = 53 entries (canary-clean per [`codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md`](.claude/rules/codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md))
+- `audit-tick-shard-relative-paths.ts --files docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/19/1005Z.md` → clean (0 broken links; 6-level `../` depth per [MEMORY anchor](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/4358))
+- Auto-merge plan: arm cleanly; **no follow-up commit planned** per [`auto-merge-race-with-follow-up-commit anti-pattern`](.claude/rules/auto-merge-race-with-follow-up-commit-anti-pattern.md) (#4365)
+
+## Test plan
+
+- [x] tick shard authored at `docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/19/1005Z.md`
+- [x] relative-path lint clean
+- [x] sentinel armed (`CronList` shows job `dd1af34b`)
+- [x] branch guard verified before commit
+- [x] isolated worktree at fresh `origin/main` SHA
+- [x] push succeeded (eventually — sustained latency under 12-Otto+5-Lior saturation, ~3min wait)
