When looking at the inside of the tire, you can tell there's a little break/tear there or something. But I think most of the fibers are still intact. And I didn't see light coming through.
Like I said, I haven't noticed a change in the cut in a number of rides, and at this point I don't think that the pressure of the tube will force it to protrude through the damaged area. The only risk I see for now is another flat tire.

My experience is that through flexing of the tire the hole will become larger, then a small portion of the tube will protrude through and wear out or pop. Booting it will prevent it for a while.

Consensus is the PR3's are a bit stickier than the GP4000s but don't last as long and slightly more puncture-prone. But they're good.

i would boot it and put it on the rear wheel if it isn't there already. Then I would forget about it.
