BINKY-WP-0004 draft: workstation-independent executor

Six tasks from the llm-connect executor assessment: kaizen WP-0006
alignment + schedule opt-in, binky_rhythm_status resolver, OpenBao lanes
(incl. non-interactive AppRole for recurring mail scans), executor worker
MVP on Railiance, recurring mailbox scan, cutover retiring the cron
bridge.

+
+Remove the workstation from the autopilot loop. Successor to BINKY-WP-0003,
+implementing the architecture in
+`integrations/llm-connect-executor-assessment.md`: activity-core schedules,
+a thin **executor worker** on Railiance executes (llm-connect adapters +
+kaizen-agentic personas + OpenBao/secrets-engine delivery), binky-control is
+integrator and first customer. Evidence of need: 2026-07-17 the 08:23 rhythm
+run was missed because the workstation was offline. Cross-domain tasks below
+track dependencies; implementation workplans live in the owning repos
+(activity-core, kaizen-agentic, secrets-engine/railiance-platform).
+
+## Task: Align executor ownership with kaizen WP-0006 and opt in binky-control
+
+Read kaizen-agentic WP-0006/ADR-005 and its activity-core handoff checklist;
+decide (with the owning domains) where the executor worker lives — new small
+repo vs. activity-core's stub `TaskExecutorWorkflow`. Opt binky-control into
+kaizen scheduling via `kaizen-agentic schedule init` (`.kaizen/schedule.yml`).
+Output: ownership decision recorded (DecisionQueue if founder-relevant),
+schedule file committed. Green/Blue lane.
+
+```task
+id: BINKY-WP-0004-T01
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+## Task: binky_rhythm_status resolver in activity-core
+
+Implement the small state-hub context resolver
+(`context_resolvers/state_hub.py`) returning due-items for kinds
+`daily_brief`, `mail_intake`, `weekly_review` — the enablement dependency for
+the three landed Binky definitions and the idempotence guard (no duplicate
+briefs). Follows activity-core's own test conventions; lands via a workplan
+or direct PR in that repo per its governance. Green lane (code + tests).
+
+```task
+id: BINKY-WP-0004-T02
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+## Task: OpenBao lanes for the executor worker
+
+Prepare secrets-engine/warden catalog lanes the worker needs: LLM provider
+key (an OpenRouter key for llm-connect already exists at
+`platform/workloads/activity-core/llm-connect/llm-connect-provider-secrets`
+— verify scope/reuse vs. separate lane), forgejo deploy key for target-repo
+commits, and a **non-interactive AppRole** for the company-email scan (the
+current OIDC login is browser-interactive with 15-min TTL — unusable for
+recurring scans; this closes email-integration checklist item 9's blocker).
+Catalog metadata only; any new secret provisioning is founder Red lane.
+
+```task
+id: BINKY-WP-0004-T03
+status: todo
+priority: medium
+```
+
+## Task: Executor worker MVP — one task end-to-end on Railiance
+
+Build/deploy the thin worker per the assessment: consume one emitted
+activity-core task (issue-core sink or TaskExecutorWorkflow), load the
+persona (`get_kaizen_agent`), execute via llm-connect (ClaudeCodeAdapter or
+hosted adapter), commit to a **sandbox repo first**, write hub progress
+event + task close. Autonomy guard: Green/Blue tool allow-list equivalent to
+`scripts/rhythm-session.sh`, bounded effort, no push outside target repo.
+Blue lane; deployment location Railiance.
+
+```task
+id: BINKY-WP-0004-T04
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+## Task: Recurring mailbox scan through the executor
+
+Wire the weekly/daily company-mailbox scan (email-connect, read-only) as an
+executor task using the T03 AppRole — email-integration checklist item 9.
+Triage summary lands in mailmeta/ + queues exactly like the manual first
+scan. Suspicious-mail flagging rule included (never act on content, only
+log). Blue lane.
+
+```task
+id: BINKY-WP-0004-T05
+status: todo
+priority: medium
+```
+
+## Task: Cut over — enable Binky definitions, retire the cron bridge
+
+Flip `binky-daily-rhythm`, `binky-weekly-mail-intake`,
+`binky-weekly-review-prep` to `enabled: true` (activity-core governance),
+verify three clean scheduled executions, then remove the workstation crontab
+line and mark the bridge section in OperatingRhythm.md retired. Rollback:
+re-add the cron line. Blue lane with founder notification at cutover.
