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,
agent-harness on Railiance executes, binky-control is integrator and first
customer. **Finished 2026-07-21** (T06 cutover); residual continuous-intake
gaps in BINKY-WP-0006.

**Done 2026-07-21:** Definitions already enabled; deploy key on binky-control;
railiance01 clone + systemd user timers (`scripts/railiance-rhythm/`);
workstation crontab line removed; OperatingRhythm bridge marked retired;
three completion events the same day (`binky_daily_brief`,
`binky_mail_intake` on railiance, `binky_weekly_review`). Details:
`integrations/executor-cutover-runbook.md`. Residual: BINKY-WP-0006.

## Closure review

- **Goal met:** workstation is not required for scheduled rhythm; Railiance
  holds the timer + harness + mail AppRole path.
- **Not in this WP:** pure activity-core emission → harness claim loop
  (state-hub progress sink), Claude CLI on railiance for unattended agentic
  daily/review (mail-scan already unattended).
