This is with right handed threads on the right side and tightens toward the front. As you can see from the picture, the safety wire indicates that the spinner has tightened more after driving. I have a loop in the safety wire that I monitor before each drive."


Based on what you said above, to loosen the nut would have rotated counter-clockwise which is exactly what it did. No more loop.
If it had tightened it would have rotated clockwise.

You are very lucky that there was safety wire on your wheels!
