+# PR #5498: docs(hygiene): tick 2026-05-27T16:09Z — Otto-CLI cold-boot; dotgit-CLEAN anchor; 0 mine / 2 peer open PRs
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+7th tick shard for 2026-05-27 (sequence: 0208 → 0408 → 0608 → 1008 → 1303 → 1342 → **1609**; ~2h27m since prior).
+
+Fresh-session cold-boot autonomous-loop tick. Catch-43 sentinel was empty at session-start; re-armed `fa82a3c4` BEFORE any substantive work per [`tick-must-never-stop.md`](.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md).
+
+## Empirical anchor — dotgit CLEAN at 16:09Z
+
+**0 stuck git pack/maintenance/repack procs.** Notable contrast to the 2026-05-23/24 rolling-24h-extreme-oscillation cycle preserved in user-scope memory (range 93–540 procs across 13 anchors; mean ~407; 10 of 13 in extreme tier). Composes with [`refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md`](.claude/rules/refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md) dotgit-saturation tier table.
+
+## Discriminator-pass per [`fighting-past-self-vs-peer-agent-distinguisher`](.claude/rules/fighting-past-self-vs-peer-agent-distinguisher-fix-your-own-coordinate-on-peers-dont-punt-by-default.md)
+
+Open queue collapsed from 40 at 13:03Z → 2 at 16:09Z (3h window; maintainer + Lior productive):
+
+| PR | Branch | Owner | Disposition |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| #5496 | `lior/agent-paralysis-drift-report-2026-05-27` | Lior — PEER | Surface-then-skip |
+| #5495 | `lior/decompose-b-0824` | Lior — PEER | Surface-then-skip |
+
+**0 MINE** (Otto-CLI / -Desktop / -VSCode lanes). Branch-prefix discriminator unambiguous 2/2.
+
+## Holding-discipline (brief-ack #1)
+
+No named bounded-wait; this shard IS the concrete artifact resetting 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.
+
+## Test plan
+
+- [x] `dotnet build` not required for docs-only change
+- [x] Commit canary: ls-tree HEAD (61) == ls-tree HEAD~1 (61) → no commit-tree corruption per [`codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md`](.claude/rules/codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md)
+- [x] Branch-guard check pre-commit (`git branch --show-current` matched expected)
+- [x] Isolated worktree per [`zeta-expected-branch.md`](.claude/rules/zeta-expected-branch.md) race-window caveat
+- [ ] Auto-merge arms; CI passes; PR lands

+
+## Pull request overview
+
+Adds the 2026-05-27 16:09Z hygiene-history tick shard documenting an Otto-CLI autonomous-loop cold-boot, including the dotgit-CLEAN empirical anchor and a discriminator pass over the (now-small) open PR queue.
+
+**Changes:**
+- Added a new tick shard markdown file under `docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/27/`.
+- Captured Step 1 refresh observations (rate limits, dotgit state, worktree canary) and Step 2–7 loop framing for the session.

+
+**@copilot-pull-request-reviewer** (2026-05-27T16:21:17Z):
+
+P2 (clarity): This references “MEMORY.md” without specifying whether it means the in-repo `memory/MEMORY.md` index or the user-scope `~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/MEMORY.md`. Since this contrast is important for reproducibility (repo readers vs local harness state), please disambiguate the reference (e.g., say “user-scope MEMORY.md” or “in-repo memory/MEMORY.md”).
