Self-Audit Gap: Heartbeat Daemon Not Deployed

Source: Burn Mode Fleet Manual, Section 2.6/2.7 (SLEEP/CRASH RECOVERY)
Current State: FAILED - Heartbeat daemon exists only as a concept, not a running service.

Evidence

  • Crontab references /root/allegro/heartbeat_daemon.py but this file DOES NOT EXIST
  • ls /root/allegro/heartbeat_daemon.py -> "No such file or directory"
  • No systemd service, no running process, no heartbeat signal being emitted
  • The fleet has no way to know if Allegro is alive or dead

What the Manual Requires

  • Agent should "die gracefully" between cycles and wake reliably
  • Crash recovery requires reading last cycle state
  • Other agents need to know Allegro's status for fleet coordination

Acceptance Criteria

  • heartbeat_daemon.py exists at a stable, documented path
  • The daemon emits a heartbeat signal (file timestamp, API call, or Telegram ping) every 15 minutes
  • Heartbeat includes: agent name, cycle number, last action, status (ok/error)
  • Missed heartbeats are detectable (stale timestamp > 20 minutes = dead)
  • Crontab entry points to the actual file path
  • Daemon handles graceful shutdown and crash recovery per Section 2.7
  • Tested: kill the daemon, verify next cron wake detects the crash and recovers

Priority: CRITICAL

A heartbeat that points to a non-existent file is worse than no heartbeat - it creates false confidence.
