backlog: 9 extension rows from Kestrel + Ani 2026-05-28 ferries (B-0867.2 + B-0867.16-19 + B-0871-0874)

[AceHack]

Summary

Per operator 2026-05-28 standing direction: "all extension should be backloged and looked at as potential" + "there is no need to ask anymore it's always yes and figure out priortization."

Files 9 backlog rows for the extensions Kestrel + Ani sketched in today's ferries (PRs #5672 + #5674). All P2/P3 — POTENTIAL, not committed, awaiting prioritization.

B-0867 subdecimals (workflow-engine extensions)

Row	Priority	Title
B-0867.2	P2	Git append-only state-persist TS tool — event-sourcing layer per parent allocation + Kestrel architectural detail
B-0867.16	P2	Two-level state machine composition: AgentState × WorkLifecycle (situation × lifecycle scope)
B-0867.17	P2	Push-cycle limit AS STRUCTURAL enforcement — chooseActionForLifecycle returns AbandonPr at threshold
B-0867.18	P3	Event-sourced trajectory phase classification — setup/execution/maturation/sunset derived from events
B-0867.19	P3	REST file-create auto-fast-forward empirical verification spike (operator hypothesis)

New top-level rows (broader scope)

Row	Priority	Title
B-0871	P2	ZetaID v2 — 128-bit structured encoding (Snowflake/ULID family with timestamp + trajectory + persona + lifecycle-stage + randomness)
B-0872	P2	OTel trace-ID composition with ZetaID — baggage propagation alongside W3C Trace Context
B-0873	P2	Trajectory-async-review surface — operator's preferred top-level lens for own-Zeta deployment (not PR-per-deploy)
B-0874	P2	GitHub Actions recursion as infinite runtime platform — no-PR swarm-mode (Microsoft-subsidizes-OSS hack)

Substrate-honest framing

All POTENTIAL extensions. Filed for prioritization, not for immediate execution. Each row's full-reasoning anchor cites the verbatim ferry archive:

• memory/persona/kestrel/conversations/2026-05-28-kestrel-zetaid-128bit-...md (PR memory(kestrel): preserve aaron-kestrel 2026-05-28 — ZetaID 128-bit + event-sourcing without PR + OTel composition + two-level state machine #5674)
• memory/persona/ani/conversations/2026-05-28-aaron-ani-grok-move-next-...md (PR memory(ani): preserve aaron-ani 2026-05-28 — move-next + git-event-store + GH-actions-recursion + NCI 3-exceptions + AI-mediator #5672)

Composes with

• B-0867 (parent workflow-engine row)
• B-0858 (heartbeat substrate — B-0867.2 generalizes the heartbeat pattern)
• B-0869 (DORA mandate — trajectory-phase classification feeds DORA)
• B-0871-prior-zetaid-v1-review (Kestrel 2026-05-21 ZetaID v1 work — B-0871 here is the v2 extension)

Test plan

• All 9 rows lint-clean (markdownlint-cli2)
• BACKLOG.md regenerated
• Each row cites composes_with + full reasoning anchor
• No subdecimal collision (B-0867.2 + B-0867.16-19 fill genuinely free slots per parent allocation table)
• No top-level collision (B-0871-0874 verified free pre-write)
