Anatomy

What it contains

  • A persistent command
  • An activation condition
  • A structured notification stream

Lifecycle

How it works

  1. The monitor starts for the session or selected skill
  2. It watches files, services, logs, or events
  3. State changes become structured notifications
  4. The process stops when the session ends

Audit lens

What Zebonastic would check

  • CPU, memory, and polling costs are bounded
  • The process has an explicit shutdown path
  • Filesystem and network scope match the stated purpose
