+| 2026-04-29T05:27:24Z | claude-opus-4-7 | 26f978a2 | twenty-third tick — pure CI-wait. Queue at depth 2 (PR #790 + #791), both BLOCKED on CI cycles. Nothing to merge this tick. Steady-state operational drain holds: substrate is correct, threads are zero, the rate-limit is GitHub Actions cycle time. Per Amara's narrowing: NOT opening synthesis-packet items 2-6 (#309), duplicate-home audit (#310), or parallel-agent scale absorb (#311). The session arc work is now post-completion on the substrate axis; the remaining queue is just transport-of-already-correct-shards. | [#790](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/790) [#791](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/791) | Trajectory observation: steady-state continues. The factory is producing tick-history shards, those shards are landing through a clean review/CI cycle, the recurring-fix-class catalog is bounded, and Aaron's autonomy-first framing is upheld (zero new substrate without explicit input). Best preserved framing for this phase: *"the loop has become steady-state inspectable; the next signal will come from outside the loop, not from internal drift"*. |
