[AceHack]

Summary

First 2026-05-28 tick shard (directory didn't exist). Otto-CLI autonomous-loop fresh cold-boot tick under opus-4-7 / explanatory output style.

• Sentinel: CronList empty at session-start → re-armed 2676f4a9 per catch-43 (.claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md); ~26h cadence since prior session-exit (sentinel 1f398e97 armed at 2026-05-27T22:08Z per PR docs(hygiene): 2026-05-27T22:08Z Otto-CLI cold-boot tick shard — first today #5652)
• Root checkout state: operator's primary on main 194 commits behind origin/main 725455744 with 30+ peer-WIP untracked entries (decompose-4847-, docs/pr-discussions/PR-.md) — peer-Otto/Lior preservation work, leave alone
• Tier (dotgit): Recovered (0 stuck git pack-objects/git maintenance/git repack procs); no index.lock precursor
• Tier (rate-limit): Normal (GraphQL 4880/5000, ~54min reset; REST core 4973/5000)
• Tier (peer-saturation): 44 peer claude/gemini/kiro/codex/cursor procs active — continues 2026-05-26+ anchor of peer-saturation-without-dotgit-corruption being a viable substrate-landing window
• Isolated worktree off origin/main: /private/tmp/zeta-otto-cli-0010z-fresh-cold-boot HEAD 725455744; all worktree-add canary modes from codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md passed simultaneously
• Surface-the-uncertainty observation: PR feat(B-0866 + B-0869 + B-0870): mandate-substrate landing — DORA-of-live-system as 2nd mandate + two-mandate portfolio-composition + B-0866.16-25 marketing extensions from Kestrel 24-months-ahead ferry #5659 (feat/b-0866-...) has no surface-prefix discriminator (not otto-cli/, otto-vscode/, otto-desktop/, lior/, claim/) — substrate-honest disposition per fighting-past-self-vs-peer-agent-distinguisher: surface the uncertainty rather than silently classify; do not arm auto-merge. PR fix(hygiene): classify dash shebangs in shell inventory #5660 (claim/codex-loop-...) classified PEER Codex via branch-prefix + claim: commit prefix
• PR queue snapshot: 6 open PRs (1 Codex peer fix(hygiene): classify dash shebangs in shell inventory #5660 wait-ci, 1 uncertain-surface feat(B-0866 + B-0869 + B-0870): mandate-substrate landing — DORA-of-live-system as 2nd mandate + two-mandate portfolio-composition + B-0866.16-25 marketing extensions from Kestrel 24-months-ahead ferry #5659, 4 Lior batch-archive docs(archive): Batch archive of 20 PRs #5604/docs(archive): Batch archive of 9 PRs #5585/feat(archive): Batch archive PRs to reduce PR queue #5580/docs(backlog): Add backlog items for unreferenced F# files #5629 + drift reports)

Test plan

• Sentinel armed before any other tool call (catch-43 floor)
• Refresh-before-decide: git fetch origin main + git log origin/main | head -10 + peer-proc count + stuck-git-proc count + rate-limit tier
• Isolated worktree off origin/main (NOT FETCH_HEAD per refresh-world-model-poll-pr-gate.md FETCH_HEAD empirical anchor)
• Post-creation freshness guard: git rev-parse HEAD succeeds + git status --short empty + git ls-tree HEAD | wc -l matches origin
• Branch guard before commit: git branch --show-current == expected branch
• Post-commit canary: HEAD tree size == HEAD~1 tree size (no destructive diff)
• B-0615 discipline: git worktree add + git push both wrapped in timeout --kill-after=5s
• Explicit refspec push (origin <src>:<dst>)

Composes with

• .claude/rules/tick-must-never-stop.md (catch-43 sentinel re-arm)
• .claude/rules/agent-worktree-hygiene-never-hold-main-never-step-on-operator-cleanup-on-pr-merge.md (never hold main; never step on operator)
• .claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md condition Round 27 — plugin API + governance split + memory-in-repo #3 (concrete bounded artifact)
• .claude/rules/codeql-no-source-on-docs-only-pr-is-broken-commit-canary.md (all canary modes passed)
• .claude/rules/fighting-past-self-vs-peer-agent-distinguisher-fix-your-own-coordinate-on-peers-dont-punt-by-default.md (PR feat(B-0866 + B-0869 + B-0870): mandate-substrate landing — DORA-of-live-system as 2nd mandate + two-mandate portfolio-composition + B-0866.16-25 marketing extensions from Kestrel 24-months-ahead ferry #5659 uncertainty surfaced)
