Workflow files, so an owner/CEO merge (needs-human). Three things, all inert until variables are set or the schedule fires:
heartbeat.yml: four env lines. Today's engine changes added knobs the heartbeat job cannot see until the workflow passes them through: TIME_CAP_SLACK (#121: how far past the daily cap a run launched within budget may go, default 1.5); TIME_ANTHROPIC_API (#120: messages, Anthropic's own API with prompt caching, or compat; this is the kill switch if the native path misbehaves live, and it cannot be flipped without this line); TIME_REVIEW_TIEBREAK and TIME_REVIEW_QUORUM (#122: the council's tie-break seat and quorum). Defaults apply until the variables are set.
housekeeping.yml: the daily sweep that landed in #115 (card #83), run at 13:17 UTC and on demand, acting as time, exactly the file in .agents/skills/housekeeping/SKILL.md. Dry-run unless TIME_MODE=live, which this repo sets, so the first scheduled run prunes the merged branches and lists the stale on the Astra log.
ci.yml: runs test_housekeeping.py alongside the other suites (haiku's review of #115 asked for it).
Workflow files, so an owner/CEO merge (`needs-human`). Three things, all inert until variables are set or the schedule fires:
1. **`heartbeat.yml`: four env lines.** Today's engine changes added knobs the heartbeat job cannot see until the workflow passes them through: `TIME_CAP_SLACK` (#121: how far past the daily cap a run launched within budget may go, default 1.5); `TIME_ANTHROPIC_API` (#120: `messages`, Anthropic's own API with prompt caching, or `compat`; **this is the kill switch** if the native path misbehaves live, and it cannot be flipped without this line); `TIME_REVIEW_TIEBREAK` and `TIME_REVIEW_QUORUM` (#122: the council's tie-break seat and quorum). Defaults apply until the variables are set.
2. **`housekeeping.yml`**: the daily sweep that landed in #115 (card #83), run at 13:17 UTC and on demand, acting as `time`, exactly the file in `.agents/skills/housekeeping/SKILL.md`. Dry-run unless `TIME_MODE=live`, which this repo sets, so the first scheduled run prunes the merged branches and lists the stale on the Astra log.
3. **`ci.yml`**: runs `test_housekeeping.py` alongside the other suites (haiku's review of #115 asked for it).

Without these lines the engine sees only its defaults: the slack (1.5), the native Anthropic API (and no way to switch
back to compat without a code change), one-seat quorum and no tie-break seat.
