Routine Test Ping
Proof-of-life for the routine monitor — confirms a routine still fires correctly. No side effects beyond a log line.
Steps
Append one line to `.hermit/sessions/SHELL.md` under `## Monitoring`:
[HH:MM] routine-test-ping: fired.
Stop. No channel send, no further checks.
Run an always-on Claude Code agent on your own machine, for you or your team. Start sessions from your chat in any project it can reach, on the model and effort you choose, and steer them through the agent or take over in the Claude app or CLI.
