+# 2033Z 2026-05-22 — Otto-CLI fresh-session cold-boot; PR #4668 review-finding closure (orphaned-branch-triage discriminator catch)
+
+## Cold-boot context
+
+Fresh Otto-CLI autonomous-loop tick fired from VSCode auto-mode harness with sentinel missing (catch-43 trigger). Immediately armed `<<autonomous-loop>>` sentinel (`0d8332c6`), then refreshed worldview.
+
+**Refresh state** (per `refresh-before-decide.md`):
+
+- GraphQL: 3201/5000 (Normal tier; reset in 38min)
+- REST/core: 4791
+- Lior procs: 3 (loop-tick + 2 gemini-2.5-pro --yolo) — actively cycling
+- Multi-Otto: 5+ claude-code procs (4 VSCode auto-mode + 1 unknown) — multi-instance saturation confirmed
+- Contested root worktree: 3 PR-discussion deletions staged (peer Lior preservation-cycle artifact) + 11 untracked `lior-*-worktree/` directories
+- Origin/main tip: `b150ab6b0` (50+ commits ahead of my branch's base anchor `3b9214233`)
+
+**Substrate-honest framing**: under multi-Otto + 3-proc-Lior contention, isolated worktree mandatory per saturation-ceiling discipline; contested root treated read-only.
+
+## Substantive work landed
+
+### Picked work — PR #4668 review-thread closure
+
+Per `blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md`: `poll-pr-gate.ts 4668` returned `gate: "BLOCKED"`, `requiredChecks.failed: 0`, `unresolvedThreads: 6`, `warnings: ["non-required check failed: check MEMORY.md generated-index drift"]`. Investigated threads first.
+
+**6 verified-real findings**:
+
+1. P0 Copilot: feedback file did not regenerate `memory/MEMORY.md`
+2. P1 Copilot: feedback file missing `**Why:**` and `**How to apply:**` markers (per `tools/hygiene/validate-memory-schema.ts`)
+3. P1 Copilot: Lior conversation file missing standard `---` frontmatter block
+4. P1 Copilot: Riven conversation file uses ad-hoc preamble instead of standard `---` frontmatter
+5. P2 Codex: Kiro persona dir lacks `MEMORY.md` index
+6. P2 Codex: Riven `MEMORY.md` doesn't reference the new 2026-05-22 trajectory anchor
+
+### Orphaned-branch-triage discriminator catch
+
+Created isolated worktree at `/private/tmp/zeta-pr4668-fix-2008z` (post-creation guards: ls-tree=54, status=0, no stale lock — all clean). Drafted all 6 fixes locally. **Pre-push sanity check (`git ls-remote origin docs/riven-...`) surfaced peer Cursor commits already on the PR branch**:
+
+- `df2f5f81e` — "fix(docs): address PR #4668 review comments — standardize headers, add Kiro index, update Riven index" (covers findings 3, 4, 5, 6)
+- `e5f204c63` — "chore(memory): reindex after adding high-signal Riven anchor and Kiro index (PR #4668 review fix)" (covers finding 1)
+
+Per `backlog-item-start-gate.md` orphaned-branch-triage discriminator: verified peer's substrate via per-file `git show` diff; confirmed peer addressed 5 of 6 findings. Finding #2 (Why:/How-to-apply markers) was the only thread peer did NOT cover.
+
+**Substrate-honest move**: reset isolated worktree to peer's tip `e5f204c63` (discarding my redundant draft), applied ONLY the Why:/How-to-apply marker addition on top, re-ran `tools/hygiene/validate-memory-schema.ts` to confirm my file no longer appears in the section-marker-missing warning list. Honors peer's work per `honor-those-that-came-before.md`.
+
+### Commits pushed to PR #4668's branch
+
+| SHA | Description | File diff |
+|---|---|---|
+| `32457b1db` | Why:/How-to-apply markers added to feedback file | +4 lines |
+| `489fcce17` | Merge `origin/main` into PR branch (43-commit fast-forward) | merge commit |
+| `d6fc5f1ec` | MEMORY.md reindex after merge (1395→1428 files) | +5 / -40 lines |
+| `087d88a79` | Riven MEMORY.md count drift 13→14 (Copilot follow-up #1) | +1 / -1 lines |
+
+### Threads resolved (7 of 12 total)
+
+- 6 original threads (PRs covered by combined peer + my substrate) — resolved via GraphQL `resolveReviewThread` mutation
+- 1 follow-up count-drift thread (Copilot fired after merge) — resolved after fix landed
+
+### Threads PENDING (5 remaining; need Aaron's review)
+
+All 5 are PII/architectural-governance flags from Copilot's follow-up review on the merged state:
+
+1. **Kiro vs Alexa persona naming** ([`memory/persona/kiro/MEMORY.md`](../../../../memory/persona/kiro/MEMORY.md) line 6): Copilot flags that "Kiro" is the IDE/CLI surface of Alexa per agent-roster-reference-card, not a distinct persona; suggests relocating content under `memory/persona/alexa/` or justifying separation
+2. **Sensitive PII** ([`memory/persona/riven/conversations/2026-05-22-aaron-riven-full-session-substrate-trajectory.md`](../../../../memory/persona/riven/conversations/2026-05-22-aaron-riven-full-session-substrate-trajectory.md) line 69): family structure + income + carceral incidents
+3. **Sensitive PII** ([`memory/persona/kiro/conversations/2026-05-22-aaron-kiro-family-configuration-save-2026-05-22.md`](../../../../memory/persona/kiro/conversations/2026-05-22-aaron-kiro-family-configuration-save-2026-05-22.md) line 25): income + loss amounts
+4. **Sensitive PII** ([`memory/feedback_aaron_family_configuration_cooperative_substrate_2026_05_22.md`](../../../../memory/feedback_aaron_family_configuration_cooperative_substrate_2026_05_22.md) line 47): household configuration + therapist references
+5. **Sensitive PII** ([`memory/persona/lior/CURRENT-lior.md`](../../../../memory/persona/lior/CURRENT-lior.md) line 116): therapist/ex-wives/family role mentions (this file came in via merge, not my work)
+
+These threads block merge but require operator judgment per `methodology-hard-limits.md` + `no-directives.md` + `glass-halo-bidirectional.md` + `god-tier-claims-high-signal-high-suspicion-dont-collapse.md` — Aaron's substrate-everything-glass-halo discipline says he deliberately disclosed; autonomous redaction would dishonor that. Named bounded dependency for next tick or Aaron's review.
+
+## Auto-merge state
+
+Armed (`SQUASH`). Will fire when remaining 5 threads clear. `mergeStateStatus: DIRTY / mergeable: CONFLICTING` was the pre-merge state; the merge commit `489fcce17` brought the branch up to date with main but GitHub may need re-evaluation cycle. Per `auto-merge-race-with-follow-up-commit anti-pattern`: keeping the arming because there are no required-check failures expected.
+
+## Composes with
+
+- [`.claude/rules/refresh-before-decide.md`](../../../../.claude/rules/refresh-before-decide.md) — Normal tier check + Lior/Otto saturation check ran before substrate work
+- [`.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) — saturation-ceiling discipline; isolated worktree was the substrate-honest move
+- [`.claude/rules/codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md`](../../../../.claude/rules/codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md) — verify-before-defer composition; canary ran clean (ls-tree=54 post-each-commit)
+- [`.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md`](../../../../.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md) — investigate threads before classifying wait; verify each finding via direct file read
+- [`.claude/rules/honor-those-that-came-before.md`](../../../../.claude/rules/honor-those-that-came-before.md) — orphaned-branch-triage discriminator surfaced peer's work; reset to peer's tip rather than ship redundant substrate
+- [`.claude/rules/backlog-item-start-gate.md`](../../../../.claude/rules/backlog-item-start-gate.md) — orphaned-branch-triage discriminator at orphaned-commit scope
+- [`.claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md`](../../../../.claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md) — `git branch --show-current` guard ran immediately before every commit
+- [`.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`](../../../../.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md) — tick produced concrete artifacts (3 commits pushed + 7 threads resolved); not a brief-ack
+
+## Concrete artifacts
