Conversation
…T.md template The 2026-08-19 429-skip rule was hand-propagated to 12 of 15 deployed agent HEARTBEAT.md copies but never made it into any of the 6 templates. Fixed alongside the 2026-09-03 heartbeat-stagger rollout (task_1788420454462_38838015, condition 2): 429 handling moved from skip-to-next-cycle to a single jittered 60-180s retry, based on measuring the quota window as short/bursty rather than daily-bound. This syncs that v2 text into templates/agent/HEARTBEAT.md so new agents inherit it; the 14 deployed copies were updated directly the same day. Complements (not superseded by) mmrag.py's own internal retry (PR #170, 5/15/45s backoffs inside a single embed_content call) — this is the outer, shell-level fallback for when a whole kb-ingest invocation still comes back 429'd after the inner retries are exhausted.

Reject Ingest complete when the log contains Errors:1.
knowledge-base/scripts/mmrag.py can report a per-file error while returning rc=0. bus/kb-ingest.sh then prints Ingest complete. This conflicts with the surrounding rule that treats that literal as successful completion. Define an explicit per-file check that rejects ERROR/Errors:1, detects 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED, and performs the delayed retry. Otherwise, the failed file can be marked complete without the required retry.

Summary
429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED-> skip the file, retry next heartbeat) was hand-propagated to 12 of 15 deployed agentHEARTBEAT.mdcopies but never synced into any of the 6 templates -- a documented gap this fleet has hit before with the same standing hazard section in GUARDRAILS.md.mainsince the original edit) -- committed via an isolated worktree + PR per boss's direction rather than leaving it dirty. PR creation itself was blocked by the 2026-09-03 ~15:00-18:00Z gh auth outage; opening now that it's restored.Relationship to PR #170
Separate change family, not folded in: #170 is a code fix inside
mmrag.py(an internal 5/15/45s retry-with-backoff on a singleembed_contentcall). This PR is agent-facing operational text for what to do at the shell/heartbeat level if a wholekb-ingestinvocation still comes back 429'd after #170's internal retries are exhausted. Complementary, not redundant.Test plan
grep -cthat all 14 deployed agent HEARTBEAT.md copies already carry the v2 text (done earlier the same day); this PR only closes the template gapNeed help on this PR? Tag
