* feat: skip heartbeat API calls when HEARTBEAT.md is effectively empty
- Added isHeartbeatContentEffectivelyEmpty() to detect files with only headers/comments
- Modified runHeartbeatOnce() to check HEARTBEAT.md content before polling the LLM
- Returns early with 'empty-heartbeat-file' reason when no actionable tasks exist
- Preserves existing behavior when file is missing (lets LLM decide)
- Added comprehensive test coverage for empty file detection
- Saves API calls/costs when heartbeat file has no meaningful content
* chore: update HEARTBEAT.md template to be effectively empty by default
Changed instruction text to comment format so new workspaces benefit from
heartbeat optimization immediately. Users still get clear guidance on usage.
* fix: only treat markdown headers (# followed by space) as comments, not #TODO etc
* refactor: simplify regex per code review suggestion
* docs: clarify heartbeat empty file behavior (#1535) (thanks @JustYannicc)

Add Mattermost as a supported messaging channel with bot API and WebSocket integration. Includes channel state tracking (tint, summary, details), multi-account support, and delivery target routing. Update documentation and tests to include Mattermost alongside existing channels.
* feat(sessions): add channelIdleMinutes config for per-channel session idle durations
Add new `channelIdleMinutes` config option to allow different session idle
timeouts per channel. For example, Discord sessions can now be configured
to last 7 days (10080 minutes) while other channels use shorter defaults.
Config example:
sessions:
channelIdleMinutes:
discord: 10080 # 7 days
The channel-specific idle is passed as idleMinutesOverride to the existing
resolveSessionResetPolicy, integrating cleanly with the new reset policy
architecture.
* fix
* feat: add per-channel session reset overrides (#1353) (thanks @cash-echo-bot)
