- Only bridge heartbeats (`agent()`/`llm()`) now re-arm the watchdog; compute, stdout, `log()`/`phase()`, and ordinary tool calls count against the budget.
- Emitted an immediate heartbeat at bridge call start to avoid early abort near budget edge.
- Removed `idle` flag and "of inactivity" suffix from timeout annotation strings.
- Updated docs, prompts, and comments to reflect the new wall-clock semantics.
