+/**
+ * Mixy's heartbeat: every 30 minutes, one check of what happened since the
+ * last one, in three stages that each stop as early as they can.
+ *  1. Collect (no model): a bounded digest of what happened in the interval:
+ *     sessions the user talks in with new activity (Lead sessions, bot chats,
+ *     group rooms; never Mixy's own chat, the heartbeat's hidden sessions,
+ *     exec or memory runs, room seats or a Lead's delegated agents), agent
+ *     task sessions that finished, approvals
+ *     waiting (only when more wait than at the last handled check) and
+ *     routines that keep failing. Sessions and tasks past the digest's bounds
+ *     are counted in one line; nothing carries over to the next check. A
+ *     failing routine is reported once, then at most every 6 hours while it
+ *     still fails (once when it switched itself off); a success closes it.
+ *  2. Gate: a digest equal to the last check's, or an empty one, ends the
+ *     check. Otherwise the Maintainer model reviews each session and task
+ *     line in its own call over that session's messages since its last
+ *     review (tool calls left out), given that review's note (a few at a
+ *     time; a session with no new item keeps its note without a call; a line
+ *     it finds nothing in is dropped, its note is appended, a failed read or
+ *     review keeps the line as collected), then answers once on the reviewed
+ *     digest with Mixy's last delivered message of the past day
+ *     (heartbeat-completion.mjs). Without one
+ *     (it is off by default), after a
+ *     failed call, or once its circuit breaker tripped (3 unusable replies or
+ *     5 provider failures in a row of the gate call, until a restart or a
+ *     Maintainer model change), only a routine failing 3+ times in a row or
+ *     newly switched off wakes Mixy.
+ *  3. Wake: one unattended routine turn (routine-home-turn.mjs) in a new
+ *     hidden session of Mixy (an exec run, kept out of every session list),
+ *     given the gate's items, the reviewed lines with their session ids and
+ *     her last delivered message.
+ *     Its reply HEARTBEAT_QUIET means nothing to say and nothing is shown;
+ *     any other reply is posted once into her home chat as her own message
+ *     (agent-home-delivery.mjs), with no turn or routine marker there. The
+ *     turn hands no work off (workspace-tools.mjs refuses it), and the
+ *     finished session is closed for the store's tombstone sweep; a close
+ *     that did not land is retried on each tick.
+ * The collection watermark, the digest hash and the routines' report state
+ * advance only once a check is handled (a nothing decision, nothing to wake
+ * for, or a wake whose reply was delivered); a failed collection (any
+ * source), Maintainer call or wake leaves them for the next check, and a
+ * routine-only wake after a failed Maintainer call commits just its routine
+ * warnings. A due check waits while the user is active (a turn they sent in
+ * the last 10 minutes, as this process saw it or the state file kept it;
+ * routine and other runtime-made turns are no user activity); missed checks run as one; two never run at once; the first one after
+ * a start is looked at after a minute. The setting `heartbeat: false` (setup
+ * set_heartbeat_enabled) stops it.
+ *
+ * Proposals Mixy makes (session action suggest) live in the same state file
+ * under a stable key (action:target): the same key is refreshed, a declined
+ * key is never offered again (declines are kept for good), at most 5 wait
+ * and each expires after 72 hours.
