T4 (review→send loop): conservative tick persists structured drafts to
state_dir/worker-drafts.json; `warden worker drafts` lists them, `warden worker approve
<id> [--body …]` sends the reviewed draft as the reply + marks read + drops it. Escalated
plans persist no draft. Live-verified end-to-end.
T3 (visibility): `warden worker status` (pending drafts, triage count, last digest, timer
state); best-effort notify-send nudge in the tick when drafts are pending.
T5: wiki/playbooks/scheduled-worker.md (enable/disable, the approve loop, failure modes,
conservative-only posture) + SCOPE note.
WARDEN-WP-0021 finished: the conservative worker now runs on a systemd --user timer
(enabled, every 15 min), triages new inbox messages into drafts you approve with one
command, degrades gracefully, and stops with one command. 249 tests, lint clean.

T1: systemd --user units (ops-warden-worker.{service,timer}) + scripts/install-worker-timer.sh
(--enable opt-in, cron fallback documented) + examples/worker.env.example. Kill switch:
`systemctl --user disable --now ops-warden-worker.timer` or WORKER_ENABLED=0. Installed and
ENABLED — verified a real systemd run (Result=success, used the llm brain) and the timer is
active (next run +15min).
T2: hardened worker-tick.sh — State Hub /state/health precheck → graceful skip (exit 0) when
unreachable; worker-run failure logged but never fails the unit (retry next tick). Verified
hub-down skip and a live tick.
Conservative tier only; nothing auto-sent. Kill switch is one command.

Draft workplan to take the WP-0020 conservative worker from built-but-disabled to a
reliable unattended schedule: systemd --user timer (cron fallback) + kill switch (T1),
graceful degradation when hub/llm-connect are down (T2), operator visibility / `worker
status` (T3), a review→send loop `warden worker approve` (T4), and a runbook (T5).
Conservative-only posture preserved (no auto-send).
