Conversation
Otto-268 follow-on: drain-log for the multi-class cascade PR #421 (post-merge follow-up to #409). Captures four finding classes in one follow-up: A. Node provisioning correctness (P1, CI/runtime): cross-file node-version pin drift; CI-vs-local divergence. B. Companion version alignment (P2, consistency): downstream stale-version reference. C. Otto-279 INVERSE — role-ref correction on current-state surface (operational substrate; NOT history-class). D. Downstream prose typos. Pattern observations: - Cross-file version-pin drift is a recurring CI-correctness class. Fix template: single canonical pin; all references read from it. Pre-commit-lint candidate: cross-file version-string compare. - Otto-279 INVERSE: history-class preserves names; current-state surfaces replace with role-refs. Both halves of the rule need uniform application. - Multi-finding-class cascades benefit from explicit per-class grouping in the drain-log. - Node provisioning is a high-leverage substrate-fix surface; same shape as Otto-114 forward-mirror compounding fix. URL → PR-number defensive pattern: capture URL from gh-pr-create output before arming auto-merge to avoid Dependabot-PR-number- collision (lesson from #454/#455 hazard earlier this tick).

Pull request overview
Adds a PR-preservation drain log documenting the post-merge finding cascade for PR #421 (follow-up to #409), capturing the threads, outcomes, and recurring patterns for future drain-runners.
Changes:
- Added a new drain-log entry for PR #421 under
docs/pr-preservation/. - Organized preserved findings by class (node provisioning, version alignment, role-refs, typos) and recorded outcomes.
- Captured pattern observations intended as Otto-250 training-signal material.

The manual line wrap splits a hyphenated phrase across lines ("maintainer-" + "asleep"), which will render as "maintainer- asleep" in Markdown. Reflow this so the phrase is continuous (e.g., wrap after a space instead of inserting a hyphen at line end).

This line wrap splits the hyphenated phrase "Single-source-of-truth" across lines, which will render as "Single-source-of- truth". Reflow to keep the hyphenated phrase unbroken (or remove the hard hyphenation and wrap at a word boundary).

Summary
Otto-268 follow-on: drain-log for PR #421 — multi-class cascade follow-up to #409 (node provisioning + version + role-refs + typos in one PR).
Per Otto-250 (PR review comments + responses + resolutions are high-quality training signals).
