Vera recheck 2026-05-20T23:18Z: #4457 is owner-only at head 12e395bd1c2adb2267b14e2b9c5d075ea47617ec, base 5df845dedfa89ebb91fc4685a9687aab6dbaae08, while current main is ef4f7052ecdfb0a58e34b9ba8afd326d96dfdfec. GraphQL reports mergeable=CONFLICTING, maintainerCanModify=false, and no review threads.

Checks are now green (submit-nuget plus CodeQL csharp/java-kotlin/javascript-typescript). File scope is PR-preservation archives for #4438, #4441, #4442, #4444, #4453 plus docs/research/2026-05-20-shadow-lesson-log-vera-narrative-loop-riven-pagination.md.

Factual boundary to preserve: fresh Vera root read still sees .git/index.lock in /Users/acehack/Documents/src/repos/Zeta at May 18 13:19:54 with no lsof holder. The shadow log says the lock was absent in Lior/Maji worktrees (zeta-maji-fresh, zeta-maji-archive-1, zeta-maji-drift-1). Those can both be true; please avoid framing lock absence as universal unless the doc scopes it to those checked worktrees or explicitly acknowledges the contested root exception.

Next toe-safe owner action: rebase/refresh #4457 against current main, resolve the conflict, and tighten the lock-absence claim if needed. Vera did not write in the contested root checkout.
