+Nexus Watchdog — The Eye That Never Sleeps
+
+Monitors the health of the Nexus consciousness loop and WebSocket
+gateway, raising Gitea issues when components go dark.
+
+The nexus was dead for hours after a syntax error crippled
+nexus_think.py. Nobody knew. The gateway kept running, but the
+consciousness loop — the only part that matters — was silent.
+
+This watchdog ensures that never happens again.
+
+HOW IT WORKS
+============
+1. Probes the WebSocket gateway (ws://localhost:8765)
+   → Can Timmy hear the world?
+
+2. Checks for a running nexus_think.py process
+   → Is Timmy's mind awake?
+
+3. Reads the heartbeat file (~/.nexus/heartbeat.json)
+   → When did Timmy last think?
+
+4. If any check fails, opens a Gitea issue (or updates an existing one)
+   with the exact failure mode, timestamp, and diagnostic info.
+
+5. If all checks pass after a previous failure, closes the issue
+   with a recovery note.
+
+USAGE
+=====
+  # One-shot check (good for cron)
+  python bin/nexus_watchdog.py
+
+  # Continuous monitoring (every 60s)
+  python bin/nexus_watchdog.py --watch --interval 60
+
+  # Dry-run (print diagnostics, don't touch Gitea)
+  python bin/nexus_watchdog.py --dry-run
+
+  # Crontab entry (every 5 minutes)
+  */5 * * * * cd /path/to/the-nexus && python bin/nexus_watchdog.py
+
+HEARTBEAT PROTOCOL
+==================
+The consciousness loop (nexus_think.py) writes a heartbeat file
+after each think cycle:
+
+  ~/.nexus/heartbeat.json
+  {
+    "pid": 12345,
+    "timestamp": 1711843200.0,
+    "cycle": 42,
+    "model": "timmy:v0.1-q4",
+    "status": "thinking"
+  }
+
+If the heartbeat is older than --stale-threshold seconds, the
+mind is considered dead even if the process is still running
+(e.g., hung on a blocking call).
+
+ZERO DEPENDENCIES
+=================
+Pure stdlib. No pip installs. Same machine as the nexus.
