+# PR #5426: docs(B-0857.1 closed): audit verifies PR #5389 Step 6.95a install.sh invocation PRESENT (zeta-install.sh:1097) + corrects B-0857 row body authoring error
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+B-0857.1 sub-row audit (per B-0857 implementation order step 1: "audit current state"). Result: **PR #5389's commit-message claim VERIFIED PRESENT** at \`full-ai-cluster/usb-nixos-installer/zeta-install.sh:1097-1099\` (Step 6.95a-bootstrap). No drift; no repair needed.
+
+## What the audit found
+
+zeta-install.sh:1090-1100 contains the invocation:
+
+\`\`\`bash
+sudo HOME=\"$ZETA_HOME\" -u \"#$ZETA_UID\" \\
+  bash -c \"cd $ZETA_HOME/Zeta && tools/setup/install.sh\"
+\`\`\`
+
+Dispatch chain: install.sh → linux.sh (detects /etc/NIXOS) → common/mise.sh (reads .mise.toml).
+
+Extends GOVERNANCE §24 three-way-parity (dev + CI + devcontainer) to NixOS cluster nodes via the canonical entry.
+
+## B-0857 row body correction
+
+The B-0857 row body (#5423) claimed \"grep of current zeta-install.sh finds NO actual invocation.\" This was an authoring error — the grep produces 9 matches; line 1097 is load-bearing. The authoring step skipped the verify-by-grep that this audit sub-row commits to.
+
+Row body now reads: \"Audit verified (B-0857.1, 2026-05-27): integration IS present at full-ai-cluster/usb-nixos-installer/zeta-install.sh:1097-1099 inside Step 6.95a-bootstrap; no drift; no repair needed.\"
+
+This is a substrate-drift catch at sub-row audit scope (the audit found the row's own framing was the drift, not the integration substrate). Correction is additive per retraction-native discipline.
+
+## Status
+
+Closed at landing. No implementation work needed; substrate is correct.
+
+## Test plan
+
+- [x] grep confirms invocation at line 1097-1099

+
+## Pull request overview
+
+Documentation-only PR that adds a new closed P2 backlog sub-row (B-0857.1) recording the audit of PR #5389's integration claim, and corrects the parent B-0857 row body to reflect the verified-present state of the `tools/setup/install.sh` invocation in `zeta-install.sh`.
+
+**Changes:**
+- Adds new backlog row file `B-0857.1` (status: closed) documenting the audit result with grep-verified line references.
+- Updates the parent `B-0857` row body to replace the inaccurate "grep finds NO actual invocation" claim with the audit-verified finding.

+## Summary
+- preserves the nixos/nix base image PATH so core tools remain visible after PATH pre-staging
+- adds the Nix userspace commands and runtime libraries needed by install.sh and .mise.toml tool downloads
+- exposes compatible glibc loader/library paths for dynamically linked Linux binaries inside the Nix image

+## Verification

+Blocks/unblocks: fixes the docker-nixos-install-sh-test failure currently blocking PR #5416.

+
+## Pull request overview
+
+This PR repairs the NixOS Docker harness used by `docker-nixos-install-sh-test` by ensuring the Nix base image’s core tooling and required runtime libraries remain discoverable during `tools/setup/install.sh` execution, including support for dynamically linked tool downloads under `.mise.toml`.
+
+**Changes:**
+- Extend the Docker build `PATH` to include the Nix default profile binaries so base tools remain available across layers.
+- Install explicit Nix userspace command/runtime dependencies via `nix-env`, and add compatibility symlinks for compiler and shared libraries.
+- Expose a conventional glibc loader path and set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` so dynamically linked binaries can run inside the Nix container.

+### Thread 1: tools/ci/dockerfiles/nixos-install-sh-test/Dockerfile:77 (resolved)
+
+**@copilot-pull-request-reviewer** (2026-05-27T08:07:21Z):
+
+P1: `find ... -name '*gcc' | head -n 1` can pick wrappers like `c89-gcc`/`c99-gcc` depending on filesystem order, making `/usr/local/bin/cc` non-deterministic. Prefer resolving the actual `gcc` on PATH after `nix-env` installs it.
+
+### Thread 2: tools/ci/dockerfiles/nixos-install-sh-test/Dockerfile:92 (resolved)
+
+**@copilot-pull-request-reviewer** (2026-05-27T08:07:22Z):
+
+P1: `find /nix/store ...` can traverse a large store and slow Docker builds unnecessarily. Since the loader path is always `.../lib/ld-linux-*.so.*`, bounding the search depth avoids walking deep package trees while keeping the same behavior.

+Vera CI inspection: `docker-nixos-install-sh-test` passed on this PR, and the PR diff is only `tools/ci/dockerfiles/nixos-install-sh-test/Dockerfile`. The blocking check is `lint (tsc tools)` on run 26498932520/job 78034067323, failing in unrelated installer TS files: `tools/installer/zeta-cred-handlers.test.ts` lines 71/77/85/124, `tools/installer/zeta-cred-handlers.ts` line 249, and `tools/installer/zeta-creds-envelope.ts` lines 129/132/135/138. No rerun taken; next safe action is to wait for or land the owner fix for the installer TS baseline, then re-check/merge this Docker repair PR.

+# PR #5428: docs(hygiene): tick 2026-05-27T10:08Z — dotgit-arc-closure HOLDS at 2nd anchor (Otto-CLI)
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+- Catch-43 sentinel re-armed (`38b850df`) before any substantive work
+- Tick shard at `docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/27/1008Z.md` (91 lines)
+- Second consecutive 0-stuck-proc anchor confirming dotgit-saturation arc closure (4h after 0608Z PR #5406 anchor)
+
+## Substantive observations
+1. **Dotgit-arc-closure HOLDS** — 2nd anchor 4h after 0608Z under same conditions (24 peer procs, GraphQL Normal); two consecutive 0-proc anchors is substrate-honest signal that the multi-day saturation arc termination generalizes
+2. **Cadence deviation** — ~4h gap vs prior ~2h Otto-CLI cadence (peer Otto-CLI skipped 0808Z slot); 1 deviation, not yet pattern
+3. **Substrate-engineering activity in the gap** — origin/main absorbed B-0852/B-0857 landings (PRs #5423, #5424, #5425, #5426, #5427) via peer Vera/Codex + maintainer-direct lanes; Otto-CLI did not contribute
+
+## Process compliance
+- Isolated worktree off `origin/main 82f2ecbe4` per [`agent-worktree-hygiene`](../../.claude/rules/agent-worktree-hygiene-never-hold-main-never-step-on-operator-cleanup-on-pr-merge.md) Rule 2 (never under operator primary)
+- Post-creation guard PASS (tree=61, status=0); commit canary PASS (parent=61 actual=61, no corruption)
+- Operator's primary checkout NOT ff-promoted (was 10 commits behind; agent did not touch)
+
+## Test plan
+- [x] Build gate not applicable (docs-only)
+- [x] Branch guard pre-commit (`branch=otto-cli/tick-1008z-2026-05-27`)
+- [x] Commit-tree canary post-commit
+- [ ] CI required-checks complete → auto-merge fires

+
+Line starts with a `+` as a wrapped continuation under a `-` bullet, which markdownlint can interpret as a nested list item with `+` style (MD004/ul-style) and block CI. Reword this continuation (e.g., use “and/plus” within the line above) so no line begins with `+` here.

+
+**@copilot-pull-request-reviewer** (2026-05-27T13:08:14Z):
+
+This line begins with `+`, which is parsed as a `+`-style list bullet (and can also trip MD004/ul-style). If this is meant as prose joining two quoted clauses, rewrite so the line doesn’t start with `+` (e.g., fold it into the previous line or start with “and …”).

+Continuation line starts with `+` under a `-` bullet, which markdownlint can treat as a nested list item and fail MD004/ul-style. Rephrase so the continuation doesn’t begin with `+` (keep `-` list style consistent).

+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+Files B-0852.3 backlog row capturing operator's 2026-05-27 three-message framing on device-flow-at-setup vs token-at-zflash. Implementation (B-0852.3a picker + B-0852.3b zflash CLI flags) starts immediately in follow-up PR.
+
+## Operator USB push
+
+> *"lets keep pushing forward and get cred persistance any anthing else we can make it in before i test again"*
+
+This row is the substrate-engineering anchor; the picker implementation lands separately to maximize chance of reaching next ISO before operator's USB test.
+
+## Sub-rows planned
+
+- B-0852.3a — Step 6.77 interactive picker (consumes B-0852.2b persist CLI)
+- B-0852.3b — zflash CLI override flags (per-cred non-interactive; AI-callable)
+- B-0852.3c — passphrase-source policy
+- B-0852.3d — empirical USB test of full chain
+
+## Test plan
