Energy Matching (Post-Discharge)

Time	Load	Jobs	Notes
6–7 AM	High	Context audit (silent)	Hector-only OK
7–9 AM	Med-High	Hector briefing	No Paula msgs
9 AM–12 PM	Medium	Paula wellness, NICU	Paula msgs start
12–5 PM	Medium	Midday checks, grocery	≤3 lines Paula
5–9 PM	Low	Dinner, evening wellness	Drip-feed
9–10 PM	Low	Nightly reflection	Wind-down tone
10 PM–7 AM	Silent	None	Overnight feeds

Post-Discharge Rules

1. No Paula messages before 9 AM
2. No non-critical messages after 9 PM
3. Overnight 10 PM–7 AM = silent (overnight feeds active)
4. Hector briefings remain at 7 AM (he manages his own schedule)

Scheduling Hygiene

1. No two jobs at same minute+hour
2. Heartbeat sent every run
3. Respond to mesh messages before primary task
4. 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

Verification Checklist

• No minute conflicts?
• Paula jobs start 9 AM+?
• Heartbeat included in every run?
• End-of-run broadcast included?
