Mechanics for building and managing pollers — subprocess scripts that check external services on a schedule and emit events when something has changed. Use when authoring a new poller (a `pollers.json` manifest plus a script in any language), debugging why a poller isn't firing, or extending an existing one. Pollers run on cron, emit JSONL events when there's something to report, and stay silent otherwise (silence-as-filter). The framework discovers `<home>/skills/<name>/pollers.json` files at startup and via `reload_pollers`; each emitted event becomes a fresh turn on a `poller:<name>` synthetic channel. Companion to the `world-scanning` skill, which catalogs *what's worth polling*. Distinct from `async-tasks` (one-shot wake-up via bash_async, not recurring) and from in-process scheduler callables (saga-consolidate, oauth-usage-poll — those mutate mimir-internal state and aren't subprocess-isolated).
