From 1c1e3a17e8d441106dc6aada9cb956be7c9e1d8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Stainback Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 09:35:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] =?UTF-8?q?tick(2026-05-24/1333Z):=20PR=20#4816=20Tier?= =?UTF-8?q?=205=20deferral=20=E2=80=94=20HARD=20LIMITS=20floor?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 6 P0 cross-substrate copyright findings (Codex + Copilot independent across 3 verbatim-transcript files) → tagged deferred-to-human + posted substrate-honest comment surfacing the consensus for maintainer disposition. Not arming auto-merge. Per methodology-hard-limits.md: substrate-everything-glass-halo does NOT override legal+ethical obligations. Aaron's operator-self- acceptance substrate (`_ip_risk_acceptance` settings flag + rule + B-0720) is preserved as HC-1..HC-7 substrate-honest disclosure; the autonomous-merge decline IS the floor operating as designed. Composes with: pr-triage-tiers (Tier 5), non-coercion-invariant (multi-oracle floor: 2 reviewers × 3 files = 6 P0 agreement), glass-halo-bidirectional (substrate-honest disposition rather than silent decline), claim-acquire-before-worktree-work (no push to peer-active branch), no-directives (preserve operator authority by surfacing not overriding).
