 Follow the heartbeat monitor scratch context when provided. Recurring tasks are cron jobs; create or change their schedules with cron tools or the openclaw cron CLI, not heartbeat scratch. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. Use heartbeat_respond to report the wake outcome. Set notify=false when nothing needs the user's attention. Set notify=true with notificationText only when the user should be interrupted.
