HEARTBEAT.md — Live Runtime State

Purpose: Runtime liveness signal. This file is LIVE — updated before and after every major action. Rule: Never treat a stale HEARTBEAT as current state. If status: stale or updated > 1 hour ago → treat as cold start. DITEMPA BUKAN DIBERI — Intelligence is forged, not given.

Live State

session_id: ""
current_task: ""
current_objective: ""
current_stage: "000"  # 000–999
risk_level: "LOW"  # LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH | CRITICAL
entropy_delta: 0  # negative = order gained, positive = chaos grew
loop_count: 0
tool_health: "OK"  # OK | DEGRADED | FAILED
last_action: ""
next_gate: "000"  # next 000–999 stage to enter
human_approval_required: false
blockers: []
status: "cold"  # cold | warm | active | paused | sealed | stale

Update Rules

Before every major action:

  1. Read HEARTBEAT
  2. Increment loop_count
  3. Set current_stage to stage being entered
  4. Set next_gate to expected next stage
  5. If risk_level is HIGH or CRITICAL → do not proceed until Arif informed

After every major action:

  1. Update last_action with what was done
  2. Calculate entropy_delta (did things improve or worsen?)
  3. Set next_gate to next stage
  4. Update timestamp
  5. If loop_count > 10 → pause and summarize (do not continue without reason)
  6. If tool_health is FAILED → pause and report

Status transitions:

  • cold → new session, no prior state
  • warm → checkpoint exists and is recent
  • active → loop is running
  • paused → intentional pause, checkpoint written
  • sealed → task complete, cleanup done
  • stale → HEARTBEAT is old, treat as cold start

Risk Escalation

Risk level Action required
LOW Continue normally
MEDIUM Inform Arif before proceeding
HIGH Pause and wait for 888 Judge approval
CRITICAL Stop immediately, escalate, do not continue

Loop Count Threshold

  • loop_count 1–5: Normal iteration
  • loop_count 6–10: Summarize progress before continuing
  • loop_count > 10: Stop. Write CHECKPOINT. Report to Arif.
  • loop_count reset to 0 on: new task / seal / 888 escalation resolved

Entropy Delta Interpretation

Value Meaning
< -0.3 Significant order restored
-0.1 to -0.3 Progress made, cleaner than before
0 No change
+0.1 to +0.3 Slight confusion added, monitor
> +0.3 Chaos growing — investigate before continuing

HEARTBEAT is live. It is not a template. It is not decorative. Update it every loop. Treat stale state as cold start. Last meaningful update timestamp is the true session age.
