+# Tick 0441Z — 2026-05-24 Otto-CLI background-worker; 8 BLOCKED PRs audited (zero FPs)
+
+**Surface:** Otto-CLI (autonomous-loop background-worker tick)
+**Branch:** `otto-cli/0441z-pr-triage-audit-cross-lane-classify` (worktree at `.claude/worktrees/foamy-strolling-barto` off `origin/main` @ `ac2c8baca5`)
+**Tier (rate-limit):** Normal (GraphQL 3638→~3500 remaining after audit; reset ~11min; REST core 4970)
+**Tier (dotgit):** Not surveyed this tick — substrate work non-contended (single worktree-add succeeded clean)
+**Sentinel:** `b5c8ce26` armed at 04:41Z; CronList returned empty at session-start (session-exit non-persistence per [`.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md))
+
+## Cross-lane lane-discipline disposition
+
+Task brief directed: *"For any PR where gate=BLOCKED and nextAction=resolve-threads: check out branch, read review comments, fix code issues, push, reply to threads, resolve via GraphQL, arm auto-merge."*
+
+Inspection of the 25 open PRs (PR list via `gh pr list`) showed ALL 25 authored by `AceHack` on branches with `lior/*`, `lior-*`, or `alexa/*` prefixes — zero `otto/*`, `otto-cli/*`, `otto-desktop/*`, or `otto-vscode/*` branches.
+
+Per [`.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) lane discipline + worktree force-remove guard composing at cross-agent PR scope, the substrate-honest disposition is:
+
+- **Allowed**: thread inspection via GraphQL (read-only, no checkout required)
+- **Allowed**: classification of findings (FP vs real) per [`.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md) verify-before-fix discipline
+- **Allowed**: documenting audit results as substrate (this shard)
+- **NOT allowed**: cross-lane branch checkout + push (per lane discipline)
+- **NOT allowed**: resolving threads as FP without verify-before-fix evidence (per blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md)
+- **NOT taken**: cross-lane advisory PR comments — authors (Lior/Alexa subagent instances) can read the threads directly; additional commentary would be noise
+
+Per [`.claude/rules/no-directives.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/no-directives.md): the task brief is INPUT/framing, not directive. Constitutional rules (lane discipline, verify-before-fix) win the conflict resolution.
+
+## 8 BLOCKED+resolve-threads PRs — full classification
+
+All 65 unresolved threads inspected; **zero false positives**; 6 failure classes identified:
+
+### Class A — Privacy P0 (4 PRs)
+
+**Affected**: `lior-persona-artifacts-4691` (#4733), `lior-persona-artifacts-4692` (#4735), `lior-persona-artifacts-4693` (#4737), `lior-persona-artifacts-4694` (#4739)
+
+Findings summary (privacy-honest paraphrase; specifics elided per Copilot P0 feedback on durable-exposure expansion):
+
+- `memory/feedback_aaron_family_configuration_cooperative_substrate_2026_05_22.md` — adds household-configuration-specific details against repo's recent opaque-pointer privacy-redaction policy
+- `memory/persona/lior/CURRENT-lior.md` — replaces the prior opaque-pointer constraint with non-opaque third-party details
+
+**Composes with**: HARD LIMITS substrate per [`.claude/rules/methodology-hard-limits.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/methodology-hard-limits.md) — privacy is part of the ethical floor even for substrate-everything-glass-halo discipline. NCI (HC-8) applies at family-configuration scope per [`.claude/rules/non-coercion-invariant.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/non-coercion-invariant.md).
+
+**Mitigating factor**: none of these PRs has auto-merge armed. They sit BLOCKED awaiting author resolution. No urgent intervention needed.
+
+### Class B — MEMORY.md hand-edit drift (5 PRs)
+
+**Affected**: #4733, #4735, #4737, #4739, #4769
+
+`memory/MEMORY.md` is auto-generated by `bun tools/memory/reindex-memory-md.ts --check` in CI. These PRs hand-edit the file, producing:
+
+- Duplicate link targets for the same flat memory file
+- Entries added AFTER the `_Stack truncated at 100 most-recent entries_` sentinel (structurally invalid for the reindexer contract)
+- Block continues past the `<!-- END AUTO-INDEX -->` marker
+
+**Fix**: regenerate via `bun tools/memory/reindex-memory-md.ts` after source files settle.
+
+### Class C — Missing schema markers (3 PRs)
+
+**Affected**: #4733, #4737, #4739
+
+`feedback_*.md` files are validated by `tools/hygiene/validate-memory-schema.ts` to include `**Why:**` and `**How to apply:**` markers (case-insensitive). New `feedback_aaron_family_configuration_cooperative_substrate_2026_05_22.md` jumps straight into "## What Aaron said" — missing both markers.
+
+### Class D — Hardcoded paths in launchd substrate (2 PRs)
+
+**Affected**: `lior/decompose-4760-kiro-launchd` (#4768), `alexa/kiro-launchd-plist-2026-05-23` (#4773)
+
+`tools/kiro/launchd/com.lucent.zeta.kiro-loop.plist` hardcodes:
+
+- `/Users/acehack` for HOME, WorkingDirectory, log paths, bun binary path
+- `bun/1.3` specific install path (will break on mise updates)
+- Label prefix `com.lucent.zeta.*` (inconsistent with repo convention `com.zeta.*`)
+- `ZETA_KIRO_LOOP_FORWARD_ACTIONS=1` default (arms auto-merge on CLEAN PRs — high-impact)
+
+`install.sh` issues:
+
+- `#!/bin/bash` + `set -e` (repo convention: `#!/usr/bin/env bash` + `set -euo pipefail`)
+- Malformed `launchctl bootout` invocation: `gui/<uid>/<label>` passed as single arg (repo convention: separate `gui/<uid> <plist-path>`)
+- No `plutil -lint` validation before bootstrap
+- `tools/kiro/kiro-loop-wrapper.sh` exists but is unreferenced
+
+**Existing pattern**: `tools/shadow/launchd/` has the correct portable template with `{{REPO_ROOT}}` placeholder. Both PRs should adopt.
+
+### Class E — Test correctness P0/P1 (1 PR)
+
+**Affected**: `lior/residuated-fscheck` (#4780)
+
+`tests/Tests.FSharp/Algebra/Residuated.Tests.fs`:
+
+- **P0**: residual definition `a \ b = if a <= b then b else a` does not satisfy the residuation adjunction for `max` when `a > b` (needs ⊥/sentinel)
+- **P1**: tautological property — `residualMax a b` defined identically to expression it's compared against; always true; can't catch regressions
+- **P1**: model duplicates operator's internal algorithm (Dictionary weight map + SortedSet active transitions) — not an independent oracle
+- **P2**: `Seq.last active` enumerates entire SortedSet each tick — O(k) vs `active.Max` O(log k)
+
+`docs/research/proof-tool-coverage.md` line 181 overclaims coverage relative to what the tests actually enforce.
+
+**Auto-merge state**: ARMED. If threads were resolved spuriously, broken tests would land on main.
+
+### Class F — Broken backlog link (1 PR)
+
+**Affected**: #4769 (`lior/decompose-4759-memory-family`)
+
+`docs/BACKLOG.md` (auto-generated; DO NOT EDIT) adds `B-0700` row linking `docs/backlog/P2/B-0700-soraya-continuous-loop-substrate-with-bus-escal...md` — file does not exist. Separately, `.claude/rules/tonal-momentum-equals-meme-emergent-harmonic-coercion.md` lines 283 + 340 replace the canonical rule reference `god-tier-claims-high-signal-high-suspicion-dont-collapse.md` (ASCII filename, no apostrophe) with a non-existent shorter target `god-tier-claims-don't-collapse.md` (typographic apostrophe U+2019 + shortened name) — dead xref for cold-boot readers.

+
+15 additional DIRTY+rebase PRs not audited this tick (rebase requires branch checkout; cross-lane).
+
+## Risk surface (auto-merge-armed BLOCKED PRs)
+
+Two PRs are armed:
+
+- **#4780 (Class E)**: 7 real test-correctness findings. If any agent (e.g., a future Otto session running the same task brief and skipping the verify-before-fix step) resolves these as FP, the broken FsCheck property lands on main. **Substrate-honest disclaimer here**: I am not disarming auto-merge — that's a lane-discipline violation. The risk is documented for future-Otto cold-boot inheritance.
+- **#4773 (Class D)**: 14 real portability findings. If resolved as FP, hardcoded `/Users/acehack` paths land in `tools/kiro/launchd/*` on main.
+
+Counter to the risk: per [`.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md) verify-before-fix discipline + the rule's known-FP-class catalog (only two entries: table double-pipe + stale-but-isOutdated=false). None of the 65 threads on these 8 PRs match the known-FP-class patterns. Any future-Otto applying the rule correctly will reach the same classification.
+
+## Composes with
+
+- [`.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md) — verify-before-fix discipline (applied)
+- [`.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md) — lane discipline (applied: skip cross-lane checkout)
+- [`.claude/rules/no-directives.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/no-directives.md) — task brief is input, not directive
+- [`.claude/rules/pr-triage-tiers.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/pr-triage-tiers.md) — does NOT apply (these are ACTIVE PRs, not stale; triage tiers are for stale unfinished PRs)
+- [`.claude/rules/methodology-hard-limits.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/methodology-hard-limits.md) — privacy-floor composes with Class A findings
+- [`.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md) — this audit IS concrete decomposition work (counter-reset)
+- [`.claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md) — Normal-tier polling discipline preserved
+- [`.claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md) — branch-guard before commit (applied)
+
+## 7-step trace (compressed)
+
+### Step 1 — Refresh
+
+- `origin/main` HEAD: `ac2c8baca5e73f866e2d2ccc0e79772656df4f5f` (shard 0416Z timestamp-correction merge)
+- `bun tools/github/refresh-worldview.ts` ran clean (4 queued CI workflows from older PRs visible in pendingCI)
+- Rate-limit: Normal tier (GraphQL 3638/5000; reset ~11min)
+
+### Step 2 — Sentinel
+
+- CronList empty at session-start
+- `CronCreate <<autonomous-loop>>` with `* * * * *` → job `b5c8ce26`
+
+### Step 3 — Holding discipline
+
+- Active background-worker task brief: poll 25 open PRs + resolve threads on BLOCKED ones
+- No idle hold; concrete-artifact work proceeding
+- Counter at 0
+
+### Step 4 — Work selection
+
+- Polled all 25 via `poll-pr-gate-batch.ts --all-open`
+- Filtered to 8 BLOCKED+resolve-threads PRs
+- GraphQL-only thread inspection (no checkout) per lane discipline
+
+### Step 5 — Substantive work
+
+- Per-PR GraphQL thread queries (8 calls)
+- Classified 65 threads across 6 failure classes
+- Zero FPs identified (none match known-FP-class patterns)
+- Audit table compiled
+
+### Step 6 — Commit
+
+- Isolated fresh branch off `origin/main` (zero contention; no race window)
+- Branch guard pattern from `zeta-expected-branch.md` race-window-caveat: dedicated worktree, no peer-mutation surface
+- Single shard commit
+
+### Step 7 — Visibility signal
+
+- Shard committed + pushed
+- PR opened against main
+- Auto-merge will be armed post-CI
+
+## What this tick did NOT do (substrate-honest deferrals)
+
+- Did NOT check out any of the 25 open PR branches (lane discipline)
+- Did NOT push to any lior/\* or alexa/\* branch
+- Did NOT resolve any review threads via GraphQL mutation (no FPs identified; substantive findings need author work)
+- Did NOT leave advisory comments on the PRs (authors can read the threads directly; commentary would be noise; lane-respect default)
+- Did NOT disarm auto-merge on #4780 or #4773 (lane-discipline violation despite documented risk)
+- Did NOT investigate the 15 DIRTY+rebase PRs (rebase requires checkout; cross-lane)
+
+## Author-side discipline encoded for inheritance
+
+Future-Otto / future-Lior / future-Alexa cold-booting and finding this shard via `git log docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/24/`:
+
+1. The 8 BLOCKED PRs all have real findings; do NOT resolve as FP without re-verification
+2. Class A (privacy) findings compose with HARD LIMITS — the substrate-honest disposition is to remove the specific details, NOT to override the policy
+3. Class B (MEMORY.md drift) is mechanical — run `bun tools/memory/reindex-memory-md.ts` after source files settle in the PR
+4. Class D (launchd hardcoded paths) has an existing portable template at `tools/shadow/launchd/` — copy that pattern
+5. Class E (FsCheck tautology) needs an INDEPENDENT oracle for the residuation property, not a duplication of the operator algorithm
