jason.woltje 193479b52d docs: concept annexation, provider/reference docs, ACT-1 groundwork
Mosaic concepts pages now own the adapted content; source/license
metadata under docs/reference/concepts. Adds ACT-1 agent-context
planning capture, pinned concept test package + preparation utility,
foundation observation notes (durability, evidence, federation,
onboarding, workflow), and the #1495 consolidation assessment.
TOOLS.md updated for the host-dev launcher.

summary: "Migration guide for the retired HEARTBEAT.md workspace file"
title: "Retired HEARTBEAT.md workspace file"
read_when:
- Migrating an older workspace that still has HEARTBEAT.md
---
# HEARTBEAT.md is retired
OpenClaw no longer creates `HEARTBEAT.md` in new workspaces or reads it at runtime. Heartbeat instructions now live in the system-owned monitor scratch in the shared state database.
Manage the current monitor scratch with the monitor job id from `openclaw automations list --all`:
```bash
openclaw automations scratch <jobId>
openclaw automations scratch <jobId> --set "..."
openclaw automations scratch <jobId> --file notes.md
openclaw automations scratch <jobId> --unset
```
If an older workspace still contains `HEARTBEAT.md`, run `openclaw doctor --fix`. Doctor imports its instructions into monitor scratch, converts valid legacy `tasks:` entries into cron jobs, archives the original under the state directory, and removes the workspace file.
