From 9a3a2a759a09ac6da973a2019752aee8177a005f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Otto Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 08:10:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?tick(1202Z):=20cold-boot=20empirical=20anchor?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20GitHub=20Actions=20outage=2010:57Z;=20PR=20#5135?= =?UTF-8?q?=20stuck-pending?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Captures the 85-minute pull_request-workflow silence (10:17Z → 12:02Z) and the GitHub Actions outage in progress since 2026-05-26T10:57:14Z per IncidentHub status checker. PR #5135 (mine, opened 11:19Z, docs-only) has zero workflow runs since opening. Commit-canary clean (ls-tree=61 on both origin/main and PR HEAD). Cause is upstream GitHub Actions infrastructure, NOT Zeta-side corruption. Per `.claude/rules/dependency-status-surface.md`: this is the kind of degraded-upstream observation `docs/dependency-status.md` is designed to surface in 30 seconds. Per `.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`: brief-ack #1 with explicit named-dep (github-actions-outage) + concrete artifact (this tick shard). Sentinel `66463931` re-armed (catch-43 fired at session-start).
