Long-task watchdog evidence

This directory stores file-backed external evidence produced by scripts/long_task_watchdog.mjs.

Purpose

The original watchdog chain had state registration but no active external executor. This directory is the minimal proof surface for the rebuilt execution chain:

• each overdue run writes a timestamped evidence artifact
• cron can append to cron.log
• memory/watchdog-state.json records lastAlertAt

Expected files

• cron.log — append-only stdout/stderr from cron-triggered runs
• <timestamp>-<watchdog-id>.json — overdue evidence artifact per emitted interval

These artifacts are meant to be machine-verifiable and safe to inspect from the repo worktree.
