# Daily scrape at 04:17. Off-round minute, weak signal against bot patterns.
# Monthly follows refresh on the 1st at 03:23 — scheduled well before the
# daily scan so the two can never overlap (one Chrome, one logged-in session,
# and cron provides no locking). --fetch-follows only pages the seed's
# Following, so it finishes in minutes.
