+    #   1. Stay off the top-of-hour. GitHub Actions scheduler drops
+    #      :00 firings under high load (own docs:
+    #      https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#schedule).
+    #      Empirical 2026-05-03: cron was '0,20,40 * * * *' but actual
+    #      firings landed at :08, :03, :01, :03 with :20 + :40 silently
+    #      dropped — only the :00-region run survived. Detection
+    #      latency degraded from claimed 20 min to actual ~60 min.
+    #      :10/:30/:50 sit far enough from :00 that GH-load skips
+    #      stop dropping us.
+    #   2. Avoid colliding with the existing :15 sweep-cf-orphans
+    #      and :45 sweep-cf-tunnels — both hit the CF API and we
+    #      don't want to fight for rate-limit tokens.
