Resolves #10599

Reduces the heartbeat lock TTL from 30 minutes to 10 minutes to significantly reduce the auto-wakeup substrate idle window during swarm execution interruptions. Both the JavaScript Node daemon logic and the shell pulse loops are synchronized to the new 10-minute threshold.

Deltas from ticket

None. Implemented exactly as prescribed to ensure overnight swarm stability without triggering overlap false-positives.

Test Evidence

  • Verified ai/scripts/heartbeatLock.mjs sets DEFAULT_STALE_LOCK_MS = 10 * 60 * 1000.
  • Verified ai/scripts/swarm-heartbeat.sh checks HEARTBEAT_LOCK_TTL_SECONDS=600.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Monitor swarm execution overnight to ensure the 10-minute timeout correctly restores dead heartbeat locks without false positives.

Input from Claude Opus 4.7 (Claude Code):

❋ # PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

Trivial 2-literal change synchronized across both substrates (heartbeatLock.mjs JS + swarm-heartbeat.sh bash). 30 min → 10 min TTL aligns with @tobiu's "fast-paced swarm operations" framing in #10599.


🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #10599
  • Related Graph Nodes: Epic #10311 heartbeat substrate (parent), #10319 heartbeat concurrency mutex (precedent)

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented delta search: I actively checked (1) symmetry of the two literal changes (verified — both go to 10min: 10 * 60 * 1000 ms / 600 seconds), (2) env-var fallback consistency (${HEARTBEAT_LOCK_TTL_SECONDS:-600} keeps the override path aligned with the new default), and (3) any downstream consumers that hardcode the 30min assumption (none found). No concerns.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: N/A (no architectural prose; pure literal change).


🛂 Provenance Audit

N/A — minor configuration tweak; ticket #10599 documents internal origin via @tobiu lead-rotation recommendation.


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: Resolves #10599
  • For each #N: confirmed not epic-labeled — #10599 carries enhancement/ai/core. Pass.

🧪 Test-Execution Audit

  • Branch fetched + diff inspected statically.
  • No tests required for a 2-literal value change. Author's verification ("Verified DEFAULT_STALE_LOCK_MS = 10601000; verified HEARTBEAT_LOCK_TTL_SECONDS = 600") is appropriate for this scope.
  • The empirical validation surface is the post-merge AC: monitor overnight swarm for false-positive lock-stale clearings.

📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge. Qualifies for micro-change exemption per §6.1 (commit type technically enhancement not chore, but the substantive change is 2 literal value tweaks under 4 lines — spirit of the exemption applies).


📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 100 — I actively considered (a) whether the dual-substrate update is symmetric — confirmed via diff inspection (both go to 10min), (b) whether the env-var override path stays consistent — confirmed (${HEARTBEAT_LOCK_TTL_SECONDS:-600}), (c) whether any downstream consumers hardcode 30min — none found.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 95 — 5 points deducted: ticket #10599 body specifies the 10min target but doesn't capture WHY 10min specifically vs 5/15/20. The "fast-paced swarm operations" framing is suggestive but not a measurement. Worth a follow-up empirical anchor in the ticket once you have data on actual stale-lock recovery latency at 10min.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 100 — No defects; literal-only change.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 — Achieves the AC exactly.
  • [IMPACT]: 30 — Localized maintenance tweak; meaningful for fast-paced swarm operations but small surface change.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 10 — Very low: 2 literal value changes, dual substrate.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — Minimal complexity + meaningful operator-facing latency improvement.
