From ad2b2fb920eac4f31540031927d80ba251136e51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lior Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 06:12:15 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs(hygiene):=20tick=202026-05-27T10:08Z=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20dotgit-arc-closure=20HOLDS=20at=202nd=20consecutive?= =?UTF-8?q?=20anchor=204h=20after=200608Z?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Catch-43 sentinel re-armed (38b850df). Otto-CLI lane: no open PRs, no contributions to 0608Z→1008Z origin/main landings (B-0852/B-0857 substrate landed via peer Vera/Codex + maintainer-direct work). Substantive observation: dotgit-saturation arc closure (anchored at 0608Z in PR #5406) HOLDS at second 0-stuck-proc anchor 4h later under same peer-activity composition (24 procs) + Normal GraphQL tier. Two consecutive anchors 4h apart is the substrate-honest signal that the multi-day saturation arc termination generalizes; per the recursion-termination clause, subsequent ticks should not re-anchor unless saturation returns. Cadence observation: ~4h gap (vs prior ~2h cadence) suggests peer Otto-CLI skipped the 0808Z slot; not yet a pattern (1 deviation).
