Heartbeat - Keep Session Alive

Send a heartbeat to prevent your session from timing out.

What It Does

1. •Verifies you have an active session via crane_context MCP tool
2. •Refreshes the session heartbeat timestamp
3. •Prevents 45-minute session timeout

When to Use

• •Working on long tasks (>30 minutes)
• •Want to keep session active while reading/researching
• •Need to maintain "active" status visibility

Not needed if you're actively using sod, update, or eod - those refresh heartbeat automatically.

Execution

1. Check Session

Call crane_context MCP tool. If no active session, tell the user to run sod first.

2. Confirm Active

Display:

Heartbeat sent.
Session: {session_id}
Your session will stay active for 45 minutes from this heartbeat.

Session Timeout

Sessions become "abandoned" after 45 minutes without heartbeat.

• •Recommended interval: every 10-15 minutes during long tasks
• •Safe to call frequently (idempotent)
