The user is asking me to continue monitoring. It's now 6:59 PM in Sydney. Michael should be finishing his work day (he finishes around 6:00 PM based on the schedule in USER.md). He should be heading home soon for his 90-minute window (7:00-8:30 PM) where he can address issues.

Let me do a quick check and update status. The situation remains the same - crisis ongoing but system stable.

I'll follow the HEARTBEAT.md protocol step by step.

**Step 0: Check Inbox**

The user is sending heartbeat checks every 15 minutes. It's now 8:14 PM on Friday, March 6th, 2026. Michael's window is from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM (90 minutes). At 8:14 PM, he has about 16 minutes left in his window.

Let me follow the HEARTBEAT.md protocol:
1. Check inbox
2. Read fleet state
3. Read queue
4. Do work (system health check)
5. Update status
6. Report issues
7. Update status file

The crisis has been ongoing for over 60 hours with no change. Rivet has 43 unread messages, Builder has 26. Herald and Cog are blocked. System resources are stable (RAM 63%, load low).

I should continue monitoring. No new critical issues.

The status file has been updated. Michael's window has closed with no visible intervention. The crisis will continue through the night. I'll provide a summary.

**HEARTBEAT STATUS:** NOT OK - Michael's window closed, crisis continues through night

**Situation:**
- **RAM:** 63% (stable)

The user is asking me to follow the HEARTBEAT.md protocol again. It's now 8:44 PM, which is after Michael's window has closed (8:30 PM). The crisis is ongoing and will continue through the night.

Let me do the minimal checks:
1. Check inbox - no unread messages
2. Check fleet state - already know it's 63 alerts, Herald/Cog blocked
3. Check queue - empty
4. Do work - quick system health check
5. Update status
6. Write status file

Since this is now after Michael's window and the crisis will continue through the night, I should keep monitoring but acknowledge that Michael is likely winding down/sleeping now. Based on USER.md, after 8:30 PM he's winding down/sleeping, and I shouldn't message him.

Let me proceed with the minimal protocol.

I'll follow the HEARTBEAT.md protocol. **Michael's window closed 14 minutes ago. Crisis continues through night.**

2. Fleet state - check for any changes
3. System health - RAM, load, backlogs
4. Update status

The pattern has been consistent: backlogs unchanged, Herald/Cog blocked, system stable but crisis ongoing. Michael is sleeping until 3:45 AM.
