+| 2026-04-30T23:12:00Z (autonomous-loop tick — rediscoverable-from-main invariant + #936 stale-PR fix) | opus-4-7 / session continuation | 04a4b8a | The maintainer 2026-04-30 sharpened the prior tick's insight from "six-step checklist as invariant" to "the rediscoverable-on-main part should be the invariant for all future changes to this file." Landed via #969 (doctrine/autonomous-loop invariant section before the every-tick checklist; names four supporting properties: tick-history on main, PR queue on host, substrate precedes narration, cron-as-cadence-engine). Plus stale-PR triage on #936 (Alexa B-0114 row): rebased onto main resolving BACKLOG.md conflict via regenerate, fixed 4 review threads (B-0113 path full-spelled, install-git-hooks.sh marked TBD, PR-prefix on #690/#694/#732/#723/#932, broadened memory-link matcher to include caps/dots/dashes + memory/persona + memory/MEMORY.md cases), force-pushed with-lease, batch-resolved all 4 threads via GraphQL. | #969 (armed) + #936 (force-pushed + threads resolved, awaiting CI re-run) | Observation — the maintainer's invariant-naming move (from incidental "six steps" to load-bearing "rediscoverable on main") is itself an instance of the carved-sentence pattern: the property is what's portable across sessions/agents/forks; the mechanism is incidental. The invariant is preserved or strengthened by future changes; that's the test. Stale-PR triage continues to follow the rejection-grounds discipline — these were genuine fixes (broken file path + non-existent path + ambiguous reference + too-narrow regex), so accept and rebase, not reject. |
