+# of the dashboard can be rendered elsewhere from this machine's real numbers. Read-only: never pauses, resumes or
+# quits anything (the standing rule of 5 October 2026).
+# Queue: packaging/ota/publish-jobs.sh add --kind run --target 1ccfe586 --script relay/playbooks/app-state-grab.ps1 --title "app state grab"
