# /grind-cron

The harness owns repetition. Do not build an external loop, iteration cap,
or DONE/BLOCKED marker; see `docs/architecture/grind.md` in the clud repo.

Issue one `/loop` whose body is:

> Run `clud grind reconcile` first and report its stale lines. Then take the next open goal from <source> that has no open linked PR. If none
> remain, end the loop. Otherwise start the Workflow named `grind-run` with
> `mode: "sequential"`, that one goal, and these recorded answers: <models,
> ci>. When it returns, do `/grind`'s Finish step: no files left behind, and
> the checkout rebased onto `origin/<main>`; confirm
> `git status` is clean.

`<source>` is what `/grind-intake` resolved: the meta issue's children, the
issue list, or the repo's issues page. Keep `.clud/grind/run.json` in place
for the whole loop, with `mode` set to `sequential`. Every tick runs
`clud grind reconcile` before picking a goal, so an issue whose goal PR
landed on a feature branch is labelled `grind:on-feature` and never lost.

## Follow-ups

When a tick picks the next goal, skip `grind:on-feature` issues. A
`grind:followup` issue is eligible only if its body marker
`<!-- grind:followup ... stage=bugs ... -->` names the bugs stage, or its
`feature-pr=<n>` PR is merged (`gh pr view <n> --json state -q .state` prints
`MERGED`). On pickup, run `gh issue edit <n> --remove-label grind:followup`.
Follow-ups are never sub-issues of the meta issue and do not count for
no-overlap. Same rule as `/grind-intake` step 5.

Each tick is a full sequential run, so each code change still goes through
RED -> GREEN in `/grind-integrate`.
