+| 2026-04-29T05:22:48Z | claude-opus-4-7 | 26f978a2 | twentieth tick — pure CI-wait. Queue at depth 2 (PR #787 + #788), both with 0 unresolved threads, both BLOCKED only on CI cycles. Nothing to merge this tick. Per Amara's narrowing ("do not open new conceptual substrate during drain"), holding the line: NOT opening synthesis-packet items 2-6 (#309), duplicate-home audit (#310), or parallel-agent scale absorb (#311). The two pending shard PRs will land on the next CI completion. The recurring-fix-class catalog continues to bound work — when there are 0 threads on open PRs, the convergence signal is strongest. | [#787](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/787) [#788](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/788) | Trajectory observation: the "zero-new-threads-on-push" criterion has now hit. PR #787 + #788 both opened with 0 threads surfaced. The factory has reached steady-state: substrate landings drain through CI without surfacing new findings, the rule catalog is stable, and the per-tick fix-and-merge cadence is sustained. The session arc is now complete in a real sense — the durable substrate has landed, the queue has cleared, the rules survive cold-readability tests, and the next-tick handoff inherits a working factory. Best closing observation: *"the loop is becoming inspectable" → "the loop has become steady-state inspectable"*. |
