Summary

Forced-#6 decomposition per .claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md counter rule produced an isolated-worktree empirical anchor at 06:13Z 2026-05-25. The substantively-new substrate is a composite operational state-shape:

Brief-ack arc + forced-#6

Six brief-acks #1-#6 with explicit-no-pre-empt at #5 (same-shape-as-peer-covering substrate would have been fabricated engineering); forced-#6 surfaced this isolated-worktree anchor.

Worktree-add guard results (all 4 passed)

git worktree add -b otto-cli/shard-tick-0613z-2026-05-25 \

→ Updating files: 100% (6281/6281), done.
→ HEAD is now at 44bcaff77

rev-parse --git-dir → resolves
status --short      → 0 lines
ls-tree HEAD        → 57 entries
index.lock          → absent

Confirms verify-before-defer composition operates correctly under dotgit-recovered tier.

Test plan

  • Branch-guard at commit time ($(git branch --show-current) = $ZETA_EXPECTED_BRANCH)
  • Post-commit canary (parent-tree=57; commit-tree=57; ✓ not collapsed)
  • Remote ref verified post-push
  • Explicit --head ref on gh pr create per .claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md companion defense

…mination + lane-empty + peer-covering + dotgit-recovered" anchor

Forced-#6 decomposition per holding-without-named-dependency counter rule
produced an isolated-worktree empirical anchor. Brief-ack arc #1-#5 with
explicit-no-pre-empt at #5 (same-shape-as-peer-covering substrate would
have been fabricated engineering).

Composite state-shape (substantively-new): branch-contamination (on
peer-Lior preservation lane with 30+ untracked + 7 modified PR-disc
files) + Otto-CLI-lane-empty + peer-Otto-VSCode covering dotgit-anchor
work (#4909) + dotgit-recovered (0 stuck procs sustained ~85min+).

Worktree-add guard results (all 4 passed): rev-parse resolves; status=0;
ls-tree HEAD=57; no stale index.lock. Confirms verify-before-defer
composition operates correctly under dotgit-recovered tier.

Composes with:
- .claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md (catch-43 fire)
- .claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md (brief-ack #6 forced)
- .claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md (origin/main base ref preference)
- .claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md (verify-before-defer)
- .claude/rules/codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md (post-creation guards)
- .claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md (branch-guard at commit time)

Inline ps-grep chain had 4 raw `|` characters that markdownlint MD056
counted as table column separators (Expected: 2; Actual: 7). Rewrote
as prose without pipes; column count restored to 2.

Pull request overview

Adds a new hygiene-history tick shard documenting an Otto-CLI cold-boot observation and the forced-#6 isolated-worktree “empirical anchor” under a composite operational state (branch contamination + empty lane + peer covering + dotgit recovered).

Changes:

  • Introduces a new tick shard at 2026-05-25T06:13Z capturing the composite-state snapshot and the worktree-add guard results.
  • Cross-links the tick narrative to the relevant .claude/rules/** discipline files for traceability.

Comment thread docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/25/0613Z.md Outdated
… per schema

Tick-shard schema (docs/hygiene-history/ticks/README.md +
tools/hygiene/check-tick-history-shard-schema.ts) requires the first
non-empty line to be a 6-column pipe-row. File-head YAML frontmatter
pushes `---` to first non-empty line and fails validator. Moved YAML
to a B-0308-style optional metadata block below H1 per README §80-140
hybrid format guidance.

PR #4911 line 17.

…trate-stale-superseded empirical anchor (#4914)

* shard(2026-05-25/1009Z): cold-boot — sentinel-fired-AGAIN + lior-substrate-stale-superseded empirical anchor

Second 2026-05-25 fresh-session in this lane (after PR #4911 0613Z anchor).
Substantively new observations:

- Sentinel empty at cold-boot AGAIN (catch-43 fired AGAIN, ~4h after PR #4911
  also re-armed at 0613Z); pattern: per-session non-persistence is the dominant
  mechanism, NOT 3-day auto-expire
- 0 stuck git procs sustained ~30h since 2026-05-24 0407Z first-0-procs reading;
  dotgit-recovered remains stable
- Cold-boot landed on peer Lior's `lior-pr-preservation-rebased` (7th+ occurrence
  of "lands on whoever-was-last-active's branch" failure mode)
- NEW anchor: Lior's branch stages 70 `full-ai-cluster/*` files that ALREADY
  landed on origin/main via PRs #4910/#4912/#4913 — substrate-drift class
  observation; pr-triage-tiers.md Tier 1 disposition applies if Lior's branch
  ever pushed as PR

Disposition: shard via isolated worktree on origin/main (lane-discipline preserved
Lior's branch); did NOT touch Lior's WIP.

Composes with the multi-anchor saturation-recovery series + the substrate-drift
class documented in pr-triage-tiers.md + the catch-43 reliability of the
autonomous-loop discipline.

* fix(shard): correct relative-path depth (4→6) + MD038 code-span trailing-space

- 7 tick-shard relative-paths used `../../../../` (4 levels) but tick shards
  at `docs/hygiene-history/ticks/YYYY/MM/DD/` are 6 levels deep; fixed to
  `../../../../../../` to match the canonical pattern
- MD038 markdownlint: `A ` code span had trailing space inside backticks;
  reworded to `\`A\` + space` to preserve the semantic (git status 2-char
  code: first char `A`, second char space = staged-added with working tree
  matching index) without violating MD038

Both lint failures verified clean locally via markdownlint-cli2.

* fix(shard): prepend 6-column pipe-row schema header + correct 105→70 staged count

Addresses 2 real reviewer findings on PR #4914:

1. P0 Copilot — schema violation: first non-empty line was H1, but per
   docs/hygiene-history/ticks/README.md the validator at
   tools/hygiene/check-tick-history-shard-schema.ts requires a 6-column
   pipe-row first. Prepended the canonical pipe-row carrying ISO timestamp,
   model id, cron sentinel, body summary, PR ref, and observation. H1 body
   preserved below (hybrid format per B-0529 Recommendation Option 3).

2. P2 Codex + Copilot — arithmetic discrepancy: shard reported "105 staged
   full-ai-cluster/* additions" but the verification table later reported
   70 staged. Re-counted via `git status --short | awk | sort | uniq -c`:
   70 staged-A (all full-ai-cluster/*) + 35 untracked-?? (other Lior WIP) +
   8 modified-M (7 PR-disc + 1 settings.json) = 113 total. The 105 was an
   arithmetic error (113 - 8). Corrected to substrate-honest breakdown.

Both fixes verified locally:
- Schema validator: shard passes (453 pre-existing violations in other
  shards — not introduced by this PR)
- markdownlint: clean

* fix(shard): split provenance commands per table metric

Addresses P2 Codex finding on PR #4914: prior shard text claimed both table
rows were verified via `git ls-tree -r origin/main full-ai-cluster/`, but
that command only counts files on origin/main (first row). The second row
(staged on Lior's branch) requires a different command (`git status --short
| grep "full-ai-cluster" | wc -l` run against the contested root checkout
still on lior-pr-preservation-rebased).

Replaced single-command claim with a per-row verification column that names
the actual command used for each metric. Both verified counts already
landed correctly (70 each); only the provenance attribution was off.

…uration + catch-43-fired-AGAIN (#4915)

3rd Otto-CLI fresh-session cold-boot today (after 0613Z PR #4911 + 1009Z
PR #4914). Sentinel re-armed AGAIN at session start (catch-43 fired 3rd
time today, ~82min after 1009Z arm).

Substantive observations:

- Catch-43 has now fired 3 times in one day across separate Otto-CLI
  sessions; per-session sentinel non-persistence is firmly the dominant
  mechanism, not the 3-day auto-expire window
- 55 open PRs ALL authored by AceHack on lior-* / family-feedback-* /
  fix-memory-index-* / lior-persona-update-* branches (100% Lior surface);
  zero in otto-cli lane
- Literal task predicate (gate=BLOCKED + nextAction=resolve-threads)
  matches ZERO PRs; executing on out-of-lane Lior PRs would violate lane
  discipline + 1009Z anchor's explicit "Does NOT touch Lior's branch"
- Substrate-drift via parallel-PR landings (the 1009Z empirical anchor)
  still active — Lior's staged ai-cluster work continues to overlap with
  already-landed substrate on origin/main
- Recursion-saturation per holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing
  -by-failure.md recursion-termination clause — this shard takes the
  minimal-acknowledgment form rather than further pattern elaboration

7-step verify trace + composes_with section in shard body.
