Parent: #50

Cross-ref: #20 (heartbeat), the-nexus#551 (morning briefing)

Replace Huey agent-initiated periodic tasks with OpenClaw's native cron. Keep Huey for non-agent automation.

Cron Jobs

# Morning briefing
openclaw cron add --name "morning-briefing" --every "1d" --at "07:00" --tz "America/Detroit" \
  --message "Good morning. Generate today's briefing."

# Model health check
openclaw cron add --name "model-health" --every "1h" --message "/status"

Acceptance

  • Morning briefing fires at 7am ET
  • Health check runs hourly without spamming
  • Huey still handles non-agent tasks (deploy, git hooks)

Research update — 2026-03-27

Do not treat cron and heartbeat as the same thing.

  • cron = exact scheduled jobs
  • heartbeat = periodic awareness, bundled checks, and continuity

Migration should split them instead of collapsing both into one mechanism.

Closing during the 2026-03-28 backlog burn-down.

Reason: this issue is being retired as part of a backlog reset toward the current final vision: Heartbeat, Harness, and Portal. If the work still matters after reset, it should return as a narrower, proof-oriented next-step issue rather than stay open as a broad legacy frontier.
