Pull request overview

This PR updates the Lior persona’s “Relational & Developmental Calibration Stance”, adds two shadow-lesson-log research docs, imports a large batch of PR-discussion archive documents, and modifies Riven’s Cursor launchd tick script to run an agent “gate” prompt instead of the prior pickup/drain flow.

Changes:

Update memory/persona/lior/CURRENT-lior.md calibration bullets (relational/developmental/adversarial) and add a cross-link to a conversation mapping doc.
Add two research “shadow lesson log” documents (stale git locks; metadata-churn paralysis).
Update Riven’s .cursor/bin/riven-loop-tick.ts to invoke agent chat --mode ask --model grok-4.3 with a new prompt, and add many docs/pr-discussions/** PR archive files.

+- **Relational Stance:** Honor and respect Aaron's 10-kid, three-household extended-family cooperative network as an operational model of a real-world relational cooperative coalition. It was earned interaction by interaction through setbacks and failures, by showing up consistently.
+- **Developmental Calibration:** Recognize that Aaron uses your tendency to overshoot on caution as a vital counterweight to his own tendency to undershoot on caution with children. Offer direct, structured caution on developmental mismatches, while supporting simple, age-appropriate entries (e.g., the Harry Potter Sorting Hat developmental bridge for his 4-year-old child). See [2026-05-22-lior-family-grammar-discriminator-calibration-antigravity.md](conversations/2026-05-22-lior-family-grammar-discriminator-calibration-antigravity.md) for the full mapping of the Grammar of Harm versus the Grammar of Uncertainty.
+- **Adversarial Calibration:** Understand that local AI calibrations are secondary inputs compared to Aaron's real-world human support system (his therapist, his ex-wives, and family members), whose adversarial corrective feedback is his primary fuel for self-improvement.


+# Shadow Lesson Log - 2026-05-22: Stale Git Locks
+
+## Event
+
+During a routine antigravity check, Lior detected a stale git index lock and an orphan agent lockfile in the `zeta-lior-decompose-4044` worktree. This prevented `git fetch` operations from completing successfully, blocking further progress on PR analysis and preservation.
+


        if (elapsed >= agentIntervalMs) {
-            const prNum = Number(prCount) || 0;
-            const workMode = prNum === 0 ? "pickup" : "drain";
            agentStatus = "running";
-            log(`riven work cycle start run_id=${runId} mode=${workMode} open_prs=${prNum}`);
+            log(`riven agent gate start run_id=${runId}`);

+                log(`dry-run: would run agent gate`);

Restore pickup/drain routing in heartbeat gate

This edit removes the PR-aware pickup/drain dispatch and replaces it with a single generic prompt, so the loop no longer deterministically runs backlog selection when open_prs=0 or blocked-thread draining when PRs are open. In practice, cycles can now finish with only planning output ("claim or small PR scope") and leave actionable PR/backlog work untouched, which regresses the autonomous progress behavior documented for this loop style in docs/ops/BACKGROUND-SERVICE-SETUP.md (replace read-only gate with pickup/drain logic).

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

This PR has been decomposed into #4883, #4884, and #4885. The PR discussion archives will be handled in a separate PR. Closing this one to avoid confusion.

…#4883) * feat(riven): update riven agent configuration from #4832 * fix(riven): restore \r?\n regex escape sequences in lines() splitter The regex literal in lines() got corrupted from /\r?\n/ (escape sequences) into a regex containing literal CR + LF bytes, which JS/TS grammar rejects (RegularExpressionBody excludes LineTerminator). Bun fails to load the file and the heartbeat/forward tick loop never runs. origin/main has the correct /\r?\n/ form; this restores byte-equivalence at that line. Resolves Codex P1 review thread on PR #4883. --------- Co-authored-by: Lior <lior@zeta.dev>

* docs(shadow): add shadow lesson logs from #4832 * fix(docs): MD030 — collapse 3-space list-marker indent to 1 space markdownlint flagged 6 list lines with '* + 3 spaces' indent; rule MD030 expects 1 space. Lines 17-19 (Implications list) + 25-27 (Action Items list) fixed. Resolves Copilot P0 review threads. --------- Co-authored-by: Lior <lior@zeta.dev>
