heartbeat-prompt-unreadable

What you see. loopd is serving, but heartbeat turns do not run. It logs this line once, until the file reads:

loopd: heartbeat.md: Permission denied (os error 13); see docs/runbook.md#heartbeat-prompt-unreadable

Why. [heartbeat] prompt is next to the config file (default heartbeat.md). The scheduler skips the tick rather than send an empty or guessed user message. A missing file is the same: restore the starter from config/heartbeat.md in the repository.

Confirm.

ls -l "$(dirname "$LOOPD_CONFIG")/heartbeat.md"

Fix. Restore mode 0644 (or whatever the owner uses for the other prompts) and content. The next tick after a successful read logs nothing extra and runs the standing heartbeat session.

Check. sessions/heartbeat/0.jsonl gains a new User whose text starts with It is and an RFC 3339 timestamp.
