heartbeat

WellForge heartbeat / scheduled-automation conventions — the "automations" pillar of loop engineering. Scheduled tasks that do discovery + triage on a cadence and SURFACE work for a human (never auto-ship). Use whenever adding or reasoning about a heartbeat: the scheduled gate heartbeat, the template-drift heartbeat, the fleet heartbeat, or the spec-health heartbeat ($wf-triage). Authoritative reference for the surface-never-ship rule, the one-deduplicated-issue-per-concern rule, the deterministic-vs-agentic split, the off-for-spike rule, the cost bound, and where each heartbeat records its trace.
