insights.rs

//! Insights from the job history (ADR 0051): jobs that got slower and stayed so, jobs that fail and pass on a re-run,
//! jobs whose memory nears their profile's cap, and how long each repository's jobs wait, this week against the
//! last; and the daily digest. Pure: the daemon reads the history, the config and the clock and passes them in. It
//! sends nothing and changes nothing.
