Scheduled Task Model and Pre-Gate

Task Declarations

• Apply when creating or reviewing scheduled tasks, including cadence skills, scheduled_tasks rows and one-shots.
• Require an explicit, non-empty model for every task; never rely on the tier's default model.
• Cadence SKILL.md frontmatter declares agentModel and a skill-relative precheck script alongside cadence.
• Scheduling requests and scheduled_tasks rows declare agent_model and a precheck script.

Wake Decision

• Follow coding-policy: script-delegation's Precheck Gating contract for the precheck output and wake decision.
• Consult Jev wherever the wake decision needs judgment.
• An unconditional wake does not qualify as a pre-gate.

Policy Review

• Flag a task missing either the explicit model or the precheck as a blocking policy violation, including PRs adding cadence skills.
• Do not merge or insert a task until both requirements are met.
• Verify the declared script exists and implements the wake decision before approving the task.
