+### Arc 9 — PRs created (post-wrap reopen)
+
+Operator then asked to create the PRs after all. Reversed the Arc-7 deferral:
+created both via the Gitea API using the HTTPS credential already stored for
+`git.wiggleverse.org` (a `write:repository`-scoped token — enough for
+`POST /repos/.../pulls`, which is why a `read:user` whoami probe 403'd). The
+token was captured into a shell var via `git credential fill` and used only in
+the request; **its bytes were never emitted to any output** — only the
+resulting PR URLs — preserving the §3 secret-bytes invariant even though this
+transcript publishes. Two snags, both honest: (1) an inline Python parser had a
+quoting bug, so the first run's POST *succeeded server-side* (flotilla PR #3
+created) while my output showed only a parse error — caught by listing open PRs
+before retrying, which prevented a duplicate; (2) the `ben/ohm-rfc` remote owner
+is an alias — canonical owner is `ben.stull`, so `POST /repos/ben/...`
+301-redirected and curl (no `-L`) silently created nothing; redone against
+`ben.stull/ohm-rfc` with `-L`. Result: **flotilla #3** and **ben.stull/ohm-rfc
+#8** open. Branches still unmerged (operator merges); OHM untouched.

 ## What lands on the operator's plate
 
-1. **Open the two PRs** (one click each — both branches pushed):
-   - flotilla: `https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc-app-flotilla/pulls/new/patchwatch/proposal-docs`
-   - ohm-rfc: `https://git.wiggleverse.org/ben.stull/ohm-rfc/pulls/new/roadmap/43-patchwatch`
+1. **Review + merge the two open PRs** (both created this session):
+   - flotilla #3: `https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc-app-flotilla/pulls/3`
+   - ben.stull/ohm-rfc #8: `https://git.wiggleverse.org/ben.stull/ohm-rfc/pulls/8`
    (The ROADMAP #43 doc-links resolve once the flotilla docs land on `main`.)
 2. **Two open inputs for Patchwatch** (recorded in the proposal §7):
