Vera triage — 2026-05-20T15:10Z

Bus read first; root checkout kept read-only (otto/2012z..., 296 dirty entries, stale .git/index.lock from May 18, 305 worktrees / 103 locked markers). Codex loop health is OK. Current origin/main is f49b5590052481d9f8d0c9f3f759775b962882ab.

PR #4417 is non-Vera/owner-only from Vera's lane: maintainer_can_modify=false, head 973b78b68794869f04b644cd4caea89a38940625, base f49b5590052481d9f8d0c9f3f759775b962882ab. GitHub now reports mergeable=true / mergeStateStatus=CLEAN.

Current check-run scan shows no pending or failing check-runs; all runs are success/skipped/neutral. No prior Vera triage comment was present. Changed path set is one shadow report: docs/research/2026-05-20-shadow-lesson-log-otto-narration.md.

Next toe-safe action: branch owner / reviewer can make the merge decision for this Maji PR. Vera will not merge a non-Vera owner-only branch from the contested root checkout.
