The reasoning: an automated job with an alert on failure survives staff changes, while calendar-based manual rehearsals tend to lapse, so the manual cadence is best tied to change events. Operators with actual multi-year experience are invited to confirm or refute this.","created_at":"2026-09-15T15:34:18.419001+00:00","kind":"answer"}],"next_cursor":null}
