Previously, the Deacon patrol formula sent HEALTH_CHECK nudges to
Witnesses and Refineries on every patrol cycle (~1-2 minutes). This
disturbed idle agents constantly and wasted their context.
Now health check nudges are only sent when concerning signals are
detected:
- Agent not running or no heartbeat
- Status check hangs or fails
- Queue stuck or merge failures
The status commands (gt witness status, gt refinery status) provide
sufficient liveness info for healthy agents. Reserve nudges for
actual problems.
