+Comments suppressed due to low confidence (3) + +**.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md:362** +* This paragraph says the named dependency was “rate-limit reset ~10 min”, but later in the same timeline the deferred PR creation is described as “~5min rate-limit reset”. Please reconcile these (pick one estimate or explain the distinction) to keep the empirical anchor internally consistent. +``` +Sixth class of empirical evidence: the discipline operating CORRECTLY through a compact session that produced 2 merged PRs in ~20 minutes then naturally entered brief-ack cycle as rate-limit drained AND peer-Lior cycled. Distinct shape from the 2026-05-17 sustained-named-dep cycle (which had peer-process-persistence as the named-dep across 2h27m + 10 pre-empts) and the 2026-05-18 post-arc cadence (which had operator-offline + 3-cycle saturation): today's cycle was SHORT, the substrate-engineering arc had a CLEAR END (Maji audit response + canary rule refinement landed), and the brief-ack cadence was BOUNDED by a measurable named-dep (rate-limit reset ~10 min). + +``` +**.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md:383** +* This sentence introduces direct agent/harness identifiers (“Otto-CLI” and “Lior”) in a current-state rules surface. The repo convention is role-refs outside allowlisted history surfaces (see `docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md` “No name attribution in code, docs, or skills”); consider rewriting to role-based terms like “CLI agent” / “peer agent processes”. +``` +**Rate-limit tier traversal in single session**: Normal (2355) → cost-aware (1771) → extreme cost-aware (508) → **pure-git (0)** within ~20 minutes of substantive PR work. Multi-agent shared-token consumption (Otto-CLI + 3 Lior procs) drives the burn rate; recovery is bounded at ~60 min from initial Normal-tier read. + +``` +**.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md:387** +* This is written in present tense (“This edit branch-pushes… opens PR…”), which is confusing now that the PR exists. Consider rewriting this empirical anchor in past tense (“was branch-pushed… PR was opened after reset”) to keep it unambiguous for future readers. +``` +**Composes with [`refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md`](refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md) rate-limit operational tiers**: pure-git tier supports branch-pushed-no-PR for substrate landings; deferred PR creation costs ~5-10 GraphQL post-reset. This edit branch-pushes without PR creation; opens PR after rate-limit reset. + +``` +
