+| 2026-04-29T05:21:15Z | claude-opus-4-7 | 26f978a2 | nineteenth tick — two more merges. PR #785 (bare-main round-4 fix shard) and PR #786 (seventeenth tick single-PR-merge shard) squash-merged onto main. **28 PRs total this session arc** since corruption-triage closure. Queue depth now at 1: only PR #787 (last tick's history shard) still open. The session arc has cleared its substrate-landing wave; the queue has fully drained except for the most-recent shard. | [#785 merged](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/785), [#786 merged](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/786), [#787](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/787) | Trajectory observation: 28 PRs landed in this session arc covering corruption-triage discipline + cold-readability rule + bare-`main` automation discipline + verbatim-preservation + Confucius cold-readability addendum + soulfile recalibration + hard-stop pattern + paired-edit and audit-memory-index-duplicates lints + over-eager-substrate-creation lesson. The "approaching steady-state" pattern Amara predicted has fully materialized. Each merge wave landed cleaner than the last. The factory is now functioning at sustained operational drain. The next-tick handoff inherits a clean queue, well-tested rules, and durable substrate. |
