Complete T06 cutover: remove binky rhythm bridge crontab, install scripts/railiance-rhythm systemd user timers on railiance01 (Europe/Berlin), document residual continuous-intake gaps as BINKY-WP-0006. Three completion event types verified (daily_brief, mail_intake on Railiance, weekly_review). DEC-2026-003 marked resolved/executed.

Operating Rhythm
Status: v0 — 2026-07-16 (BINKY-WP-0002-T05). The cadence that keeps the control plane honest. Blue lane: agents run it; the founder consumes it.
Daily brief
One brief per active day, written by whichever agent closes the day's work,
stored in briefs/YYYY-MM-DD-daily-brief.md. Hard cap: one screen. Format:
# Daily Brief — <date>
## Decide now (0–3 items, each linked to DecisionQueue)
## Progress (what moved, milestone-relevant only)
## Risks (changes to RiskRegister only — no restating)
## Best next hour (single highest-leverage founder action)
Rules:
- Decide now only lists prepared decision packages. Never raw questions.
- Best next hour is one item. If nothing needs the founder, say so — "no founder action needed today" is a valid and desirable outcome.
- Anything that can't fit the cap goes into a queue, not the brief.
Queue hygiene (every agent session touching this repo)
DecisionQueue.md— resolved items getstatus: resolvedset in place (not moved to a separate log — CUST-WP-0061-T05); nothing older than 14 days without escalation (RISK-003 rule).OfficeHourQueue.md— every queued item has prepared material before the next command day; done items getstatus: donein place; stale items pruned.AutopilotWorkQueue.md— never empty; agents with idle capacity pull from the top; closed items getstatus: closedin place (CUST-WP-0061-T05).- Workplan files match hub state (fix-consistency covers drift).
WORK-RECORDS.md(generated, all three queues above) stays current —statehub fix-consistencyregenerates it automatically (C-33); nothing to hand-maintain.
Scheduler (workstation-independent)
Status: workstation cron bridge retired 2026-07-21 (BINKY-WP-0004-T06 /
DEC-2026-003). Cadence is owned by activity-core definitions
(binky-daily-rhythm, binky-weekly-mail-intake, binky-weekly-review-prep,
all enabled: true). Execution on Railiance:
| Path | Role |
|---|---|
| activity-core Temporal schedules | When work is due (Europe/Berlin) |
| host systemd user timers | Invoke agent-harness on railiance01 (interim) — scripts/railiance-rhythm/ |
| agent-harness | Green/Blue tool profiles, hub completion events |
Health: ssh railiance01 'systemctl --user list-timers | grep binky' and
tail ~/.cache/binky-control/rhythm/railiance-rhythm.log on that host.
Rollback (emergency only): re-add workstation cron
23 8 * * 1-5 /home/worsch/binky-control/scripts/rhythm-session.sh # binky rhythm bridge
and pause railiance timers. Script kept for one month as break-glass.
Known residual (BINKY-WP-0006): activity-core ISSUE_SINK_TYPE=state-hub
emits progress events, not claimable issue-core tasks; agentic daily/review
on Railiance need claude CLI on that host (mail-scan is deterministic and
already runs there). Until Claude is installed on railiance01, agentic slots
may still be run from a laptop harness session with the same task files.
Weekly review (founder, ~15 min)
Read the newest brief + SuccessMilestones.md. One question: did anything
move a milestone? If two consecutive weeks show activity without milestone
movement, RISK-005 escalates.
