Pull request overview

Adds a new tick-history shard entry for the 2026-04-29 0410Z autonomous-loop tick, continuing the move to per-tick shard files under docs/hygiene-history/ticks/.

Changes:

  • Added a new shard file 2026/04/29/0410Z.md containing the tick’s single-row record.

Per docs/hygiene-history/ticks/README.md schema, the first column
must be a plain ISO-8601 UTC timestamp. The parenthetical note
that previously appeared after the timestamp is preserved
implicitly via the body cell.

Same defect as PRs #745-755 — col1 must be plain ISO-8601 UTC
timestamp per docs/hygiene-history/ticks/README.md schema. The
parenthetical context is preserved by the body cell.

…rds (#971)

Per docs/hygiene-history/ticks/README.md schema, the first
column of each shard MUST be exactly an ISO-8601 UTC timestamp.
15 shards (April 28, 29, 30) carried a parenthetical context
appended to the timestamp in col1 — pattern caught by Copilot
on PRs #745-755 + #970.

The parenthetical content is preserved by each shard's body
column (col4) which already restates the tick context. The
fix removes the col1 violation without losing information.

Surface drift fix per the just-landed rediscoverable-from-main
invariant on docs/AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md (#969): tick-history is
one of the four properties that makes the invariant true. If
shards drift in format on main, future agents see two
incompatible patterns and have to guess. Schema-uniform shards
make the read surface predictable.

Files affected (15):
- docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/04/28/{0408,0418,0433,0501}Z.md
- docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/04/29/{0235,0240,0320,0350,0400,0425,0430,0435,0440}Z.md
- docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/04/30/{2018,2312}Z.md

No data loss — only col1 prose drift removed; body context
fully preserved. Trailing newline added on 3 files where it
was missing.

…g future tick-times — surface for maintainer decision before mass-fixing col1 (#973)

Codex P2 review on PR #740 caught a pattern across 14+ open
tick-history shard PRs from 2026-04-29: col1 tick-times are
40-80 minutes ahead of the commits' author-times. The shards
weren't recording past ticks — they were prefabricating shard
files for future tick slots.

Empirical sample:

| PR | PR opened | Claimed tick | Commit author | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #728 | 02:05:49Z | 02:45:00Z | 02:05:42Z | +40m |
| #730 | 02:07:17Z | 02:55:00Z | 02:07:14Z | +48m |
| #734 | 02:14:15Z | 03:15:00Z | 02:14:12Z | +61m |
| #740 | 02:24:24Z | 03:45:00Z | 02:24:20Z | +81m |

The prior-tick col1 cleanup (PR #971) on 15 shards already
on main and the per-PR force-pushes on #745-755 + #968 fixed
the schema-violating parenthetical, but the underlying
prefabrication concern was buried under the more visible
Copilot-P1 col1 finding.

Two interpretations:

1. Mis-timestamped recording — agent computed col1 wrong
2. Intentional batch prefabrication of future-tick receipts

Either way, mechanically fixing col1 on the remaining 14 PRs
would launder the prefabrication: shards would look schema-
compliant but still claim factually-incorrect tick times.

Composes with the rediscoverable-from-main invariant landed
in PR #969: tick-history-on-main is one of four supporting
properties; false time-claims subvert the invariant.

Decision options for the maintainer (in the file):

- Close affected PRs (audit-trail integrity over evidence-
  density)
- Rewrite col1 to commit-time
- Add a note column for time-of-record vs time-of-event
- Accept prefab pattern as intentional

Filing this as substrate (per substrate-or-it-didn't-happen)
and explicitly NOT mass-fixing col1 on those PRs until
direction.

MEMORY.md index entry added; latest-paired-edit marker
updated.
