# DEC-006 — Registry Hygiene Cadence Promotion

**Status:** accepted
**Date:** 2026-06-18
**Owner:** Bernd (Coulomb operator)
**Workplan:** LOOP-WP-0003 T07

---

## Decision

Promote **registry-hygiene** from `bootstrap` (hourly) to `stabilize` (daily 07:00 Europe/Berlin).

## Evidence

- 3/3 hourly bootstrap rounds on custodian pilot slice (`bootstrap-log.md`)
- `reuse-surface validate` passes on all 3 pilots each round
- `report gaps` stable: 2 empty scaffolds (kaizen-agentic, the-custodian) — no duplicate tasks filed
- LOOP-WP-0004 DEC-005 kaizen-stack promotion establishes regulator precedent

## New cadence

| Phase | Cron | Batch |
|-------|------|-------|
| stabilize (now) | `0 7 * * *` | custodian pilot + helix_forge |
| operate (deferred) | `0 9 * * 1` | 1–2 domains/week after 2 weeks daily |
