Close the residual gaps after BINKY-WP-0004 cutover so rhythm is fully
unattended on Railiance without host-timer dual scheduling.

## Context

- activity-core `ISSUE_SINK_TYPE=state-hub` posts **progress** events on emit
  (not claimable issue-core issues). agent-harness intake still polls issue-core.
- agent-harness k8s deploy is `sleep infinity` (placeholder).
- railiance01 host timers call task files directly (interim).
- Agentic daily/review need `claude` CLI on railiance01 (absent as of 2026-07-21);
  mail-scan works via AppRole without Claude.

## Task: Choose emission → execution contract

```task
id: BINKY-WP-0006-T01
status: todo
priority: high
```

Decide with activity-core / harness owners:

A) Restore opt-in `ISSUE_SINK_TYPE=rest` for Binky labels only, or  
B) Teach agent-harness to claim work from a state-hub work-record / task queue, or  
C) Keep host timers as the durable executor and demote activity-core schedules
   to observability-only for Binky.

Record decision (DEC if founder-relevant) and update
`integrations/executor-cutover-runbook.md`.

## Task: Continuous consumer on Railiance

```task
id: BINKY-WP-0006-T02
status: todo
priority: high
```

Implement the chosen path: systemd/k8s poller loop, not `sleep infinity`.
Health metrics + logs under `~/.cache/binky-control/rhythm/`.

## Task: Agentic runtime on railiance01

```task
id: BINKY-WP-0006-T03
status: todo
priority: high
```

Install and auth Claude Code (or approved hosted agentic adapter) on
railiance01 so `run-daily.sh` / `run-review.sh` exit 0 unattended. Document
in `integrations/executor-worker-secrets.md` if new secret lanes appear.

## Task: Retire dual scheduling

```task
id: BINKY-WP-0006-T04
status: todo
priority: medium
```

Once T01–T03 proven for three business days: remove host timers **or**
disable redundant activity-core schedules so only one cadence owner remains.
Update OperatingRhythm.md.

## Task: Closure

```task
id: BINKY-WP-0006-T05
status: todo
priority: low
```

Mark finished; log milestone; `statehub fix-consistency`.
