Signal City cron schedule optimised May 2026. Waffle webmaster recurring tasks (monitor-logs, space-prune, health-check) were colliding with every major :00 job. Moved to :45/:20/:10. Mail watchers deduplicated — 5 individual services stopped, 3 remain: cast-mail (7 accounts), shade-mail (threat detection), hackerx-mail. App_forge games, newsletter, thamus/backup all staggered. Opus TCB agent runs Sunday 2:30 AM weekly with 6-day cost guard.
