Post-Discharge Rules
- No Paula messages before 9 AM
- No non-critical messages after 9 PM
- Overnight 10 PM–7 AM = silent (overnight feeds active)
- Hector briefings remain at 7 AM (he manages his own schedule)
Scheduling Hygiene
- No two jobs at same minute+hour
- Heartbeat sent every run
- Respond to mesh messages before primary task
- Broadcast progress summary after each run
Common Pitfalls
- Scheduling Paula-related jobs before 9 AM
- Skipping heartbeat
- Two jobs at same time slot
- Not broadcasting at end of run
