[ AI ][ INFRASTRUCTURE ][ NOUN ]
A small periodic signal an agent sends to confirm it's still alive and responsive, distinct from an agent runtime manager by being the lightweight check-in itself rather than the component acting on it.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The heartbeat stopped an hour before anyone noticed the agent had actually crashed."
LORE & ORIGIN
Standard distributed-systems 'heartbeat' terminology applied directly to AI agents once they needed the same liveness checks as any long-running process.
