+| 2026-04-29T05:38:50Z | claude-opus-4-7 | 26f978a2 | recovery-tail tick — two recovery PRs merged. PR #791 (with the reverted ordinal "twenty-second" restored) and PR #793 (with the softened PR-count claim) both squash-merged onto main. The ordinal-drift cascade is now fully resolved on main. Queue at depth 2 (PR #796 + #797), both BLOCKED on CI. The recovery shard #796 captures the lesson; the recovery-tail shard (this one) captures the closure. | [#791 merged](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/791), [#793 merged](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/793), [#796](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/796) [#797](https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta/pull/797) | Trajectory observation: the agent-overcorrection-thread sub-class (trust-the-cited-context-without-verification) was caught, fix-reverted, re-checked across the full file sequence, and landed cleanly within 3 ticks. The factory's self-correction cycle works at this scale: a bad fix doesn't propagate further than 1-2 ticks because the same review system that caught the original drift catches the bad fix too. |
