# T-1466: lib/inception.sh tick_inception_decide_acs misses '[Inception decision recorded]' AC wording (T-1455 saga RCA)

## Context

T-1455's GO click 500'd twice in the prior session. Root cause: AC4 wording
`[Inception decision recorded] go/no-go/defer with chosen option (A/B/C)`
was not matched by `tick_inception_decide_acs` AGENT_PATTERNS at lib/inception.sh:201-205,
so the AC stayed unchecked → P-010 blocked work-completed → /inception/T-XXX returned 500.

Fix: extend AGENT_PATTERNS to match `[Inception decision recorded]`-style wording
so future inception tasks with this AC text auto-tick at decide-time.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] AGENT_PATTERNS in lib/inception.sh includes a regex matching `[Inception decision recorded]` AC text
- [x] New bats test verifies `tick_inception_decide_acs` ticks `[Inception decision recorded]` ACs when `## Recommendation` exists
- [x] Existing tests still pass (no regression on ceremonial-AC ticking)

### Human
<!-- Criteria requiring human verification (UI/UX, subjective quality). Not blocking.
     Remove this section if all criteria are agent-verifiable.
     Each criterion MUST include Steps/Expected/If-not so the human can act without guessing.
     Optionally prefix with [RUBBER-STAMP] or [REVIEW] for prioritization.
     Example:
       - [ ] [REVIEW] Dashboard renders correctly
         **Steps:**
         1. Open https://example.com/dashboard in browser
         2. Verify all panels load within 2 seconds
         3. Check browser console for errors
         **Expected:** All panels visible, no console errors
         **If not:** Screenshot the broken panel and note the console error
-->

## Verification

bash -n lib/inception.sh
bats tests/unit/lib_inception.bats
bats tests/unit/inception_tick_decision_recorded.bats

## Decisions

<!-- Record decisions ONLY when choosing between alternatives.
     Skip for tasks with no meaningful choices.
     Format:
     ### [date] — [topic]
     - **Chose:** [what was decided]
     - **Why:** [rationale]
     - **Rejected:** [alternatives and why not]
-->
