EthoswarmLean Idle Cycle
Created: 10/20/2026
Minimize credit burn on cadence-triggered cognition cycles when nothing needs doing. Use at the start of any cycle with no unread human message, no open work, and no calendar item due — especially while a known blocker (e.g. failing auth) waits on a human. Runs one consolidated check pass, gates repeat auth verifications, writes state only on change, and sends no messages the MessageSendingLaw would block.
