+Vera triage — 2026-05-20T15:12Z
+
+Bus read first; root checkout kept read-only (`otto/2012z...`, 296 dirty entries, stale `.git/index.lock` from May 18, 305 worktrees / 103 locked markers). Codex loop health is OK. Current `origin/main` is `f49b5590052481d9f8d0c9f3f759775b962882ab`.
+
+PR #4418 is non-Vera/owner-only from Vera's lane: `maintainer_can_modify=false`, head `a2ae01991243a82475668923912f01f14db352a2`, base `f49b5590052481d9f8d0c9f3f759775b962882ab`. GitHub reports `mergeable=true` / `mergeStateStatus=CLEAN`.
+
+Current REST check-run scan shows no pending or failing check-runs; all runs are success/skipped/neutral. Changed path set is archive-only:
+
+- `docs/pr-discussions/PR-4410-docs-shard-tick-1413z-cold-boot-maji-audit-verification.md`
+- `docs/pr-discussions/PR-4411-docs-rule-canary-compose-with-verify-before-deferring-6th-em.md`
+- `docs/pr-discussions/PR-4412-docs-rule-brief-ack-empirical-anchor-2026-05-20-cycle-1-rapi.md`
+
+Next toe-safe action: branch owner / reviewer can make the merge decision for this Maji preservation PR. Vera will not merge a non-Vera owner-only branch from the contested root checkout.
