The responsiveness framework merged at 22:17 and met its first live test nine minutes later — and failed it usefully. This session ran /session-init as hub#91's acceptance run, watched it miss the sub-minute bar (~4 minutes, 3 round trips), traced the loss to five structural causes, and shipped the fix the same evening: obot.agent#77, merged on live approval, makes the next init's first paint a zero-tool-call render of a pre-injected hand-off. Along the way Jeremy reset the allocation default — Opus leads, Fable in the siblings — and banned the one tool that kept prompting him mid-flow.

Work completed
#91 acceptance run (arm B): first live /session-init under the merged framework — paint at ~4 min / 3 lead round trips vs the <1 min SLA and ≤2-RT budget. Five failure modes, all structural: fragile Tier-0 grep chain (+1 RT), two-file pointer hand-off (08-02 → "see 08-01"), end-of-turn paint (+1 visible RT), template misresolution → drifted bespoke briefing reproducing oa#57's symptom, non-canonical ledger keys. Ledger backfilled to the canonical ms schema.
oa#77 shipped and merged the same evening (live approval, obot-merge standard lane): /s-init now pre-injects the Tier-0 hand-off as command preprocessing (new tools/session-init/handoff.sh — zero tool calls before the paint, the only route to D1's <10s bar), tolerant single-script read, mid-turn paint rule, self-contained wrapup hand-off, canonical ledger schema, template-resolution fix. Live immediately via workspace symlinks. Closed oa#54: obot-auto now spawns with --remote-control.
Model allocation reset (Jeremy): Opus is the default lead/orchestrator model; Fable is reached through subagents and siblings — framework-doc Model allocation section, session-spawn guidance, obot-auto --model opus default, memory updated.
Worktree friction eliminated: EnterWorktree banned in the workspace CLAUDE.md + a feedback memory after it threw a live permission prompt and then failed (the workspace root is not a git repo); the scripted worktree lane built the whole PR with zero prompts.
Verification (👯🤖 wrapup-verify): every scratchpad claim confirmed against GitHub — zero factual corrections. One forward-looking gap found: obot-auto still spawns the long-form /session-init, so the fast paint never fires unattended → filed oa#79.
Recon (👯🤖 init-delta): GitHub delta empty since the 22:24 hand-off; 5 of 7 queued PRs CONFLICTING (oa#63/oa#67 went dirty against PR#76 itself); both ideas lanes empty, watermark advanced; #91 board stage stale; four goal items off-board.

Blockers / risks
Bespoke sibling briefings bypass the templates — the first live sibling after the oa#57 fix merged reproduced the heartbeat-placement bug, because the lead composed its briefing from scratch after the template misresolved; its digest sections also drifted from the delta-sweep spec. PR#77 fixed the resolution note; the compose-from-scratch habit is the residual risk. → filed oa#78
The ! preprocessing lane is verified by construction but not yet by a live run on this CLI version; degradation is graceful (alias falls back to the script read). Next session's acceptance re-run is the test — tracked there, no issue needed.
Remaining candidates (→ the risk issue above): carry the heading-anchored heartbeat inserter into every lead-composed briefing; align digest section naming on the delta-sweep spec.
Next session: loose ends
Re-run the #91 acceptance test — first live /s-init on the merged fast path; record the first canonical ms ledger line; target D1's <10s — and land oa#79 (one-word obot-auto fix) so the --auto lane gets it too.
Rebase pass: oa#63 + oa#67 (single-file conflicts with PR#76), then sv#119/sv#121 vs dev — converts the review queue back to decidable.
