…n exit' The 5-minute limit was a deterministic rule that contradicts the intelligence-over-scripts principle. A pulse should run until all ready PRs are merged, all worker slots are filled, TODOs are synced, and systemic issues are filed — then exit. That might be 30 seconds or 10 minutes depending on the workload.

Summary of ChangesHello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request refactors the operational logic of the 'pulse' process by removing a rigid 5-minute execution time limit. This change allows the pulse to run dynamically, completing all its assigned tasks—such as merging PRs, filling worker slots, syncing TODOs, and filing issues—before exiting, rather than being prematurely cut off by an arbitrary timer. This ensures thoroughness and adaptability based on the workload, aligning with the principle of completing the job rather than adhering to an arbitrary deadline. Highlights

Code Review
This pull request replaces an arbitrary 5-minute time limit for the supervisor pulse with a goal-based completion criterion, ensuring the pulse runs until all necessary tasks are completed. The changes involve updating the AGENTS.md file to reflect this new approach. The review suggests clarifying the completion criteria using bullet points and mentioning the trade-off of removing the time limit.
| 4. **NEVER include private repo names** in public issue titles/bodies/comments. | ||
| 5. **NEVER exceed MAX_WORKERS.** Count before dispatching. | ||
| 6. **NEVER run longer than 5 minutes.** Exit and let the next pulse continue. | ||
| 6. **Do your job completely, then exit.** Don't loop or re-analyze — one pass through all repos, act on everything, exit. |



Summary
Why
The 5-minute limit was itself a deterministic rule — exactly the kind of thing we just removed in PR #2465. A pulse should take as long as it needs to complete one pass through all repos and act on everything it finds. That might be 30 seconds (nothing to do) or 10 minutes (8 repos, 6 dispatches). An arbitrary timer would cut it short or be irrelevant.
