From f216de556793bdf65870a210219560bee5b106fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Otto Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 16:38:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] =?UTF-8?q?shard(2026-05-24/2033Z):=20otto-vscode=20bg?= =?UTF-8?q?-worker=20=E2=80=94=20Lior-lane=20fleet=2041=E2=86=9253=20PRs?= =?UTF-8?q?=20(+12=20in=20~91min)=20+=20lane=20discipline=20sustained?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Substantive observation shard: 5th consecutive sustained 100% Lior-lane fleet share since 1607Z finding. PR #4851 merged this window (validates Lior-driving the fleet); no own-lane PRs; counter-reset via concrete artifact. Composes with 1607Z/1608Z/1804Z/1902Z lineage; runtime-script special-case guard remains active (Riven tuning regression risk); operator-authored PII threads (#4801-#4803) remain non-bg-worker-resolvable per named-human- attribution scope.

Now reads "Three consecutive otto-vscode shards (1804Z/1902Z/2033Z) ... extending the otto-cli observation lineage at 1607Z/1608Z (30/31 = 97%)". 2. **L85 markdownlint MD037** — bareword glob patterns `otto-vscode/*` and `lior-*` were being parsed as malformed emphasis ("space inside emphasis markers"). Backticked the globs; markdownlint exit 0 locally + semantically clearer that these are glob patterns. 3. **5 stray gitlinks removed** (`lior-fix-4746`, `-4768`, `-4773`, `-4780`, `-4781`) — same class as the recent main fix at `51dc0b76f` (PR #4871, "remove 5 stray gitlinks from main introduced by #4851"). PR #4869's branch predates `51dc0b76f` so the gitlinks survived; removing them here fixes the `lint (no empty dirs)` non-required check. Per [`blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md`](.claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md): substrate-honest investigation surfaced 3 real bugs (1 P2 lineage drift + 2 lint failures). All 3 verified locally before push. Per [`zeta-expected-branch.md`](.claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md): ZETA_EXPECTED_BRANCH set + `git branch --show-current` guard ran immediately before commit.
