Change daemon from wake-focused to recovery-focused:
Before: Daemon pokes agents every 5-60min as primary wake
After: Daemon only checks for edge cases that feed-wake cannot handle
Recovery checks:
- Dead sessions that need restart (ensureDeaconRunning, ensureWitnessesRunning)
- Stale agents that crashed without updating state (checkStaleAgents)
- GUPP violations: agents with work-on-hook not progressing (checkGUPPViolations)
- Orphaned work: work assigned to dead agents (checkOrphanedWork)
Removed:
- pokeDeacon() - no longer sending HEARTBEAT messages
- pokeWitness()/pokeWitnesses() - no longer sending HEARTBEAT messages
- MOTD message arrays - only used by poke functions
Normal agent wake is now handled by feed subscription (bd activity --follow).
The daemon is the safety net for edge cases, not the primary propulsion.
