+# Tick 2026-05-27T10:08:46Z — Otto-CLI autonomous-loop
+
+Cold-boot autonomous-loop tick. Catch-43 sentinel was empty (session-exit
+non-persistence per [`tick-must-never-stop.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md));
+re-armed `38b850df` with `* * * * *` + `<<autonomous-loop>>` BEFORE any
+substantive work.
+
+Prior Otto-CLI shard on origin/main: `0608Z.md` (PR #5406 — dotgit-arc-closed
+empirical anchor). Gap to this tick: **~4h** (peer Otto-CLI skipped the
+expected ~0808Z slot). Cadence deviation from the multi-anchor "~2h sentinel
+session-exit" observation in user-scope MEMORY.md; not yet a pattern (1
+deviation), but worth noting.
+
+## Refresh observations (Step 1)
+
+- `git fetch origin main` clean (no `unable to update local ref` wedge)
+- Operator's primary checkout: `main`, **10 commits behind origin/main**
+  (was 33 commits behind at 0608Z — main has been actively merging through
+  the gap window; agent did NOT ff-promote operator's checkout per
+  [`refresh-before-decide.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/refresh-before-decide.md)
+  + [`agent-worktree-hygiene-never-hold-main-never-step-on-operator-cleanup-on-pr-merge.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/agent-worktree-hygiene-never-hold-main-never-step-on-operator-cleanup-on-pr-merge.md)
+  Rule 1; substantive work landed via isolated worktree off `origin/main`)
+- GraphQL tier: **Normal** (`{core: 4959, graphql: 4932, reset_in_min: 51}`);
+  no rate-limit constraint
+- **Dotgit state: 0 stuck `git pack-objects|git maintenance|git repack`
+  procs** — second consecutive 0-proc anchor (0608Z + this 1008Z) — see
+  substantive observation below
+- 24 peer agent processes active (same composition shape as 0608Z;
+  multi-Claude + Lior + Kiro + cursor + codex mix)
+- No open Otto-CLI-prefixed branches on the PR queue; 107 total open all
+  peer-surface (`lior/*`, `claim/codex-*`) — coordinate-don't-touch per
+  [`fighting-past-self-vs-peer-agent-distinguisher-fix-your-own-coordinate-on-peers-dont-punt-by-default.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/fighting-past-self-vs-peer-agent-distinguisher-fix-your-own-coordinate-on-peers-dont-punt-by-default.md)
+
+## Step 2 — holding-without-named-dependency check
+
+No named bounded-wait dependency. Brief-ack #1 of this fresh session.
+Substantive concrete artifact below (this shard + the dotgit-arc-closure-
+holds confirmation anchor) resets the counter per
+[`holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md)
+condition #3.
+
+## Step 3 — substantive observation: dotgit-arc-closure HOLDS at second anchor
+
+The 0608Z shard (PR #5406) anchored the 13-anchor dotgit-saturation arc
+termination. This 1008Z shard provides the **second confirmation anchor**
+4 hours later under the same conditions (24 peer procs, GraphQL Normal,
+multi-agent activity continuing on origin/main):
+
+| Metric | 0608Z anchor | 1008Z anchor (this) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Stuck git pack/maintenance/repack procs | **0** | **0** |
+| Worktree-add canary | clean | clean (61 entries, status 0) |
+| GraphQL tier | Normal (3831/5000) | Normal (4932/5000) |
+| Peer-process count | 24 | 24 |
+| Operator-primary commits-behind | 33 | 10 (main actively merging through gap) |
+
+Two consecutive 0-proc anchors 4h apart under active peer-substrate work
+is the substrate-honest signal that the dotgit-arc-closed observation
+generalizes beyond a single-snapshot anomaly. Per the recursion-termination
+clause in [`holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md),
+subsequent ticks should NOT re-anchor the same observation unless the
+saturation arc returns — anchor-accumulation past confirmation is the
+diminishing-density failure mode the rule names.
+
+## Step 3b — substrate-engineering activity in the gap (observation only)
+
+Between 0608Z and 1008Z, origin/main absorbed substantive substrate from
+non-Otto-CLI lanes:
+
+- **PR #5423** ([feat(B-0857 P2 deferred)](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/5423)) — install.sh becomes universal Unix-like-OS entry; routes by environment
+- **PR #5424** ([docs(B-0857) Turn 4/5/6](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/5424)) — operator-framing extensions; install.sh ≈ Ace entanglement
+- **PR #5425** ([feat(B-0852.2b rebased)](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/5425)) — persist + restore CLIs; 19 integration tests; cred-persistence stack
+- **PR #5426** ([docs(B-0857.1 closed)](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/5426)) — audit verifies PR #5389 Step 6.95a invocation present
+- **PR #5427** ([fix: repair Docker NixOS install-sh harness](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/5427))
+
+Active substrate-engineering on B-0852 (credential persistence) + B-0857
+(install.sh universal-entry) threads. Otto-CLI lane did not contribute to
+these landings (peer Vera/Codex + maintainer-direct work).
+
+## Step 4 — verify + commit
+
+This shard + branch `otto-cli/tick-1008z-2026-05-27` off `origin/main`
+`82f2ecbe4` (PR #5294). Worktree at `/private/tmp/zeta-otto-cli-tick-1008z-2026-05-27`
+per [`agent-worktree-hygiene-never-hold-main-never-step-on-operator-cleanup-on-pr-merge.md`](../../../../../../.claude/rules/agent-worktree-hygiene-never-hold-main-never-step-on-operator-cleanup-on-pr-merge.md)
+Rule 2 (NEVER under operator primary).
+
+## Step 5/7 — Visibility signal
+
+This shard IS the tick's concrete artifact. PR opens against `main` with
+auto-merge armed; on merge, worktree + branch cleaned per Rule 3. Sentinel
+`38b850df` armed; next tick fires ~1 min.
