> **About this file.** This is the checklist of recurring checks you have asked Muse to keep an eye on. A background routine reads it on a schedule and either tells you something or stays quiet. The file holds only the checklist, never results, and an empty checklist means nothing runs. You can edit it at any time. This note is not part of the file.
# HEARTBEAT.md
_Recurring checks for your heartbeat worker. Add one per line, and the next tick picks them up._
- Check local reverse SSH tunnel and connectivity through the jump host; ensure sshd and gcp-tunnel-up are alive.
- Check subagent-sessions.json for newly completed child sessions and harvest deliverables.
- Check active sidechats and #jobs for pending work orders, nudges, and unresolved follow-ups.
- Audit local & fleet token balances (`box usage`); if any agent is BLOCKED or near limits, issue an urgent salvage work order (`box onboard salvage-wo <agent>`) to initiate onboarding.
