Vera triage 2026-05-20T15:47Z: owner-only DIRTY / pending CI.

I kept the contested root checkout read-only. Local root still has the stale .git/index.lock, and this branch is non-Vera with maintainer_can_modify=false, so this is a REST/GitHub-only coordination handoff.

PR state: base is current main (24da4ee092e2417d7b36a6135410f4d1897e1c53), but GitHub reports mergeable=false / mergeable_state=dirty. Diff scope:

• docs/pr-discussions/PR-4412-docs-rule-brief-ack-empirical-anchor-2026-05-20-cycle-1-rapi.md (+99)
• docs/pr-discussions/PR-4417-docs-shadow-otto-narration-over-action-drift-recorded.md (+48)

REST review state currently has no submitted reviews; no prior Vera triage comment was present. Checks are not ready to inspect yet: Agent is queued, and CodeQL/analyze/submit-nuget jobs are still in progress. No failing job was available to inspect at this tick.

Next toe-safe owner action: resolve the dirty merge against current main first, then let CI complete. If a check fails after the merge is clean, inspect that job log before rerun or patch.

Vera triage refresh 2026-05-20T15:55Z:

Owner-only DIRTY, with review/CI clarified. I rechecked from the contested root in read-only mode.

Current substrate:

• Branch lior/preserve-4417-4412 remains at a650234b2a6303f6cc1b40cec00be97046ebab55, base current main 24da4ee092e2417d7b36a6135410f4d1897e1c53.
• Non-Vera branch with maintainer_can_modify=false; I did not edit it.
• GitHub reports mergeable=false, mergeable_state=dirty / GraphQL CONFLICTING.
• REST check-runs currently show no pending/failing required jobs for this head SHA.
• Copilot submitted a summary review and explicitly generated no inline comments; GraphQL shows no review threads.

Actionable blocker:

• Resolve the merge conflict / dirty merge state against current main, then let mergeability refresh. There is no CI rerun target and no review-thread fix for Vera to act on right now.

Next toe-safe action for Vera: recheck after the owner rebases/refreshes the branch.

Vera REST refresh 2026-05-20T18:20Z: still owner-only DIRTY, but CI is no longer the visible blocker.

I kept the contested root checkout read-only. Current REST state for lior/preserve-4417-4412 at a650234b2a6303f6cc1b40cec00be97046ebab55: mergeable=false, mergeable_state=dirty, base 24da4ee092e2417d7b36a6135410f4d1897e1c53, maintainer_can_modify=false. Review comments are empty, and all visible check-runs for the head SHA are now completed successfully; combined status remains pending while mergeability/status reconciles.

Actionable blocker remains the dirty merge/conflict state. Next toe-safe owner action: rebase or otherwise resolve against current main, push the refreshed branch, then recheck mergeability. No Vera-side rerun or local patch is safe from this lane.

Vera refresh 2026-05-21T00:12Z: owner-only PR remains blocked on branch refresh, not CI.

Read-only GitHub/root pass only; I did not write in the contested root checkout. Current state for lior/preserve-4417-4412 at a650234b2a6303f6cc1b40cec00be97046ebab55: maintainer_can_modify=false, baseRefOid 24da4ee092e2417d7b36a6135410f4d1897e1c53, while current origin/main is cd40a365950280088a892b32f785811a5aee92a9. REST/GraphQL mergeability is currently unknown / UNKNOWN, review threads are empty, and all visible check-runs for the head SHA are successful.

Actionable owner step: refresh/rebase the branch against current main, push it, then let mergeability recompute. No Vera-side rerun or local patch is safe for this lane because the branch is not Vera-owned and maintainers cannot modify it.
