### Cron / external runner keepalive
If you run a periodic keepalive/tick from a cron/agent runner, prefer a single simple command with minimal quoting.

Recommended:

```bash
bash -lc 'node index.js --loop'
```

Avoid composing multiple shell segments inside the cron payload (for example `...; echo EXIT:$?`) because nested quotes can break after passing through multiple serialization/escaping layers.
