Problem

Conduit's two scheduled jobs — the 120 s capture poll and the hourly insight read — are installed only via macOS launchd (Conduit/InstallConduit.ts and InstallConduitInsight.ts, which write to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and call launchctl). On Linux there is no launchd, so neither job ever runs: nothing is captured, the hourly BuildInsight.ts never fires, and the Pulse /conduit page stays permanently empty. There was no non-macOS install path.

Fix

Schedule Conduit through Pulse's own cron heartbeat loop instead of an OS-level daemon. Pulse already runs a cross-platform cron scheduler (matchesCron/isDue in pulse.ts), active on every platform Pulse runs on. Moving Conduit's two jobs there makes them work on Linux and macOS alike, with no launchd/systemd dependency:

[[job]]
name = "conduit-capture"
schedule = "*/2 * * * *"
type = "script"
command = "bun run Conduit/conduit.ts capture"
output = "log"
enabled = true

[[job]]
name = "conduit-insight"
schedule = "0 * * * *"
type = "script"
command = "bun run Conduit/BuildInsight.ts"
output = "log"
enabled = true

Jobs run with cwd = PULSE/, so the relative Conduit/… commands resolve, and Pulse's missing-script preflight already disables them cleanly on an install where the scripts aren't present.

Why the insight job is safe under Pulse's minimal PATH

BuildInsight.ts uses the cheapest inference rung (haiku via TOOLS/Inference.ts), which resolves the claude binary explicitly (Bun.which("claude") → ~/.local/bin/claude fallback). That's the same minimal-PATH problem the launchd insight installer solved by baking a PATH into the plist — so it's a non-issue here.

Verified on Linux (headless)

• Pulse's cron loop fired conduit-capture on load → captured 1 event(s), dispatched to log.
• BuildInsight.ts read the real events and wrote a content-type read (Development 100% with a narrative) — vs. the empty [] before.

Scope / compatibility

• The macOS launchd installers are left in place for anyone who prefers standalone scheduling; this simply gives Conduit a working out-of-the-box path on every platform via Pulse.
• Single-file change to the public template PULSE.toml. No code changes.
