What monitor-experiment does
> ⏱ **External cadence is appropriate here.** This skill waits on an external > fact (job completion / progress), so it is a natural `/loop` / `CronCreate` > surface: the wake reads status and self-judges only **machine-checkable** > completion (exit code, file exists, epoch logged) — never quality. This is > the additive external-wait shape in > `shared-references/external-cadence.md`. > If a scheduled wait here ends in a verdict step (e.g. then audit results), > run that verdict **once** after the wait clears — not re-entered per tick.
