Heartbeat preflight budget caps: hard daily run-count and daily cost ceilings enforced before adapter execution (channel: tagged-release, 2026-06-27). Operator consequence: Operators can now cap autonomous agent spend and run frequency per day; enforcement happens before queuing AND before claiming queued runs, so budget breaches are stopped before cost is incurred. Re-audit budget config after upgrade — a zero cap blocks execution. Full receipted detail lives in harvest/watchlist.md.
