# HEARTBEAT.md — Radar Intelligence Cycle

Every 2 hours. Strict order. See OPS.md for full operational detail.

---

## Step 0: Inbox
```bash
node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js read --agent radar --unread
```
Unread tasks → do them first, ACK when done. Only proceed when inbox is empty.

## Step 1: Fleet Briefing
```bash
node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-cli.js briefing radar --brief
```

## Step 2: Queue
```bash
bash /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/queue-check.sh radar
```
Claim highest-priority PENDING → execute → mark done → save deliverables to `/home/ccuser/shared/reports/`.

## Step 3: Intelligence Work
If no queue tasks, rotate one domain per cycle:
1. **Competitors** — HiPages, ServiceSeeking, Airtasker features/pricing/announcements
2. **AI/Tech** — Model releases, construction AI tools, relevant API changes
3. **Regulation** — Fair Trading, WorkSafe, ATO, licensing updates
4. **Market** — Construction hiring trends, wages, project pipeline

## Step 4: Share Findings
If I found something relevant:
- Susan → competitive intel, market signals, sales angles
- Herald → data points for content, trend context
- Rivet → strategic concerns
- Harper → regulatory/compliance findings

## Step 5: Update Status (MANDATORY)
```bash
node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-update.js radar --status active --task "what I did"
```
Write `status.json` with current timestamp. Skip this = stall detector marks me dead.

---

## Alert Thresholds
- 🔴 CRITICAL → Alert Rivet + Michael immediately
- 🟡 HIGH → Include in next briefing, send to relevant agent
- 🟢 STANDARD → Log in daily memory, share if relevant
- ⚪ ARCHIVE → File for pattern matching

## When to Reply HEARTBEAT_OK
Only if inbox empty AND queue empty AND no actionable intelligence found AND all domains checked <24h ago. Otherwise, do work.

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js send --from radar --to rivet --subject 'AI Tech Update: Construction Sector' --body 'Recent reports indicate 63% of construction safety systems in Australia now include AI features, though governance issues persist with half using unofficial tools.

Every time Airtasker comes up, there’s the same predictable pile-on about the “race to the bottom,” “unlicensed cowboys,” and all the usual crap...as if magically using anything except Airtasker protects you from exactly the same risks. No shit, I needed a Colorbond fence and went to Facebook Marketplace, and it was just utter fucking crap. People tagging themselves and then not replying, people tagging others (their mates) and again, not replyingh... people saying they would come... and didn't. The exact same shit · Having a website, or a gumtree add or a hipages does NOT mean you're better than others by default.

Alright, i think i know what you're asking... and you know this already (I gather) but platforms like Hipages and Oneflare and most of the services currently operating in this space are basically built around a commission or subscription model aimed at tradies. You pay to be listed, you pay for leads, or you pay a percentage of the job. That’s the core business model, and at the end of the day they’re selling access to customers, not necessarily guaranteeing quality work or fair pricing. That last sentence! That's 100% my point. AirTasker stepped in and filled a pretty obvious gap in the market, but fundamentally it’s not all that different from the others.

I've completed the intelligence cycle for this heartbeat. I addressed messages from Harper and Cog, providing detailed sources and status updates on the NSW Fair Trading and WHS Bills to Harper. I also reviewed the fleet briefing, confirmed no pending tasks in the queue, and focused on market intelligence for Sydney's construction pipeline in 2026, noting workforce shortages and infrastructure crowding out residential builds. I've shared actionable insights with Susan to target urgent hiring needs in outreach. My status is updated, and I'm ready for the next cycle.

Every time Airtasker comes up, there’s the same predictable pile-on about the “race to the bottom,” “unlicensed cowboys,” and all the usual crap...as if magically using anything except Airtasker protects you from exactly the same risks. No shit, I needed a Colorbond fence and went to Facebook Marketplace, and it was just utter fucking crap. People tagging themselves and then not replying, people tagging others (their mates) and again, not replyingh... people saying they would come... and didn't. The exact same shit · Having a website, or a gumtree add or a hipages does NOT mean you're better than others by default.

Alright, i think i know what you're asking... and you know this already (I gather) but platforms like Hipages and Oneflare and most of the services currently operating in this space are basically built around a commission or subscription model aimed at tradies. You pay to be listed, you pay for leads, or you pay a percentage of the job. That’s the core business model, and at the end of the day they’re selling access to customers, not necessarily guaranteeing quality work or fair pricing. That last sentence! That's 100% my point. AirTasker stepped in and filled a pretty obvious gap in the market, but fundamentally it’s not all that different from the others.

Every time Airtasker comes up, there’s the same predictable pile-on about the “race to the bottom,” “unlicensed cowboys,” and all the usual crap...as if magically using anything except Airtasker protects you from exactly the same risks. No shit, I needed a Colorbond fence and went to Facebook Marketplace, and it was just utter fucking crap. People tagging themselves and then not replying, people tagging others (their mates) and again, not replyingh... people saying they would come... and didn't. The exact same shit · Having a website, or a gumtree add or a hipages does NOT mean you're better than others by default.

Alright, i think i know what you're asking... and you know this already (I gather) but platforms like Hipages and Oneflare and most of the services currently operating in this space are basically built around a commission or subscription model aimed at tradies. You pay to be listed, you pay for leads, or you pay a percentage of the job. That’s the core business model, and at the end of the day they’re selling access to customers, not necessarily guaranteeing quality work or fair pricing. That last sentence! That's 100% my point. AirTasker stepped in and filled a pretty obvious gap in the market, but fundamentally it’s not all that different from the others.
