feat: manage profiling campaigns from one Pulse chat

 # PyAutoPulse — agent instructions
 
+## Profiling campaign front door
+
+Read `CHECKIN.md` for all-campaign updates and one-chat operation. Pulse now owns
+profiling campaign intent and pending tasks in `campaigns.yaml` and `tasks/`,
+including prompts migrated from Mind (`migration.yaml`). The board displays
+the editable check-in prompt, active campaigns, open tasks, then measurements.
+Mind retains bounded development issue/PR lifecycle and repository claims;
+project repos retain measurement evidence. This explicit ownership update takes
+precedence over older descriptions of Pulse as only a summary reader.
+
+
 This file is for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) and humans
 discovering this repository. PyAutoPulse is the **Pulse** organ of the PyAuto
 organism — where the organism feels how fast it runs. It is the cross-project

+# All profiling work in one chat
+
+The editable prompt at the top of the dashboard is the entry point. Direction
+supplied before or after it has the same meaning: focus that campaign or assess
+that idea while retaining the overall sweep. No direction means check all open
+campaigns and tasks. This static page does not run jobs or monitor them itself.
+
+## Check-in procedure
+
+1. Fetch current Pulse, Mind and relevant project branches; read their agent
+   instructions. Read `campaigns.yaml`, task files and `migration.yaml` when an
+   old Mind path is referenced. Pulse is the canonical profiling queue.
+2. Read each campaign's current project wiki/ledger, results and issue/PR state.
+   Evidence URLs pin the last reviewed source; inspect the current default
+   branch for subsequent changes too. Consult Brain's profiling conductor for
+   scientific interpretation. With HPC access, use project pull/status commands;
+   otherwise report which jobs/results remain unverified. Never infer completion
+   from an old job id or absent data.
+3. Compare with the last check-in and report one table: changes, current state,
+   blockers, next bounded step. Keep timing, correctness, compile cost, memory
+   and hardware distinct. Respect task contracts, human decisions, release gates
+   and Mind's current repository claims.
+4. Incorporate user direction into priorities and suggested next steps. An idea
+   is a hypothesis until tested. Choose one bounded phase before execution and
+   use existing development/compute authorization rules. The check-in itself
+   authorizes no job submission, default/baseline change, release or merge.
+5. Update `campaigns.yaml` with verified facts, reviewed dates, next steps and
+   source links. Preserve parked/blocked work. Append decisions and their
+   evidence to the task or project ledger. Record `last_checkin` as an ISO UTC
+   timestamp after the sweep, noting unavailable sources in the affected tasks.
+   A board refresh alone must never stamp a check-in.
+6. Run `bin/pyauto-pulse board --offline` (or live ingest when available), then
+   `bin/pyauto-pulse check --offline`; persist through the repo development
+   workflow. Report the PR and whether it merged. Continue subsequent profiling
+   requests in this conversation; a fresh chat resumes from these records.
+
+## Ownership and development handoff
+
+Pulse owns campaign intent and pending tasks. File new profiling work under
+`tasks/` with a row in `campaigns.yaml`. Each task has a stable ID, campaign,
+title, status, priority, path, reviewed date and next step. Campaigns carry a
+title, status, reviewed date, next step and evidence URL. Completed/superseded
+rows remain in the ledger but leave the open table. Parked and blocked work
+stays visible. A campaign is not a job: active does not mean running.
+
+For a library/workspace implementation phase, file a small Mind development
+prompt referencing the Pulse task, then use start_dev and the normal issue/PR
+and claim lifecycle. Reuse existing issues (including autolens_profiling#362 for
+timing-noise audit). Do not copy entire campaigns into Mind or bulk issue their
+phases. After close-out, link the completion record from the Pulse task and
+update its next step. Mind retains repository claims and implementation PR
+lifecycle; mixed science/library work stays there with Pulse links.
+
+Projects retain detailed campaign evidence, producers, results, pins and drift
+policy. Pulse scheduling metadata never changes measurement qualification or
+Heart readiness. Migration preserves original text and provenance; historical
+headers inside those texts are not a live queue. Resolve old Mind paths via
+`migration.yaml`; use the pinned source commit for unmigrated historical paths.
