+# Calls the cloud backend's onboarding endpoint

+# within a window won't double-send because per-user counters, flags and timing
 # checks are persisted.

-# Hourly because the first nudge goes out an hour after sign-up, to people
-# whose workspace is still empty (how to connect an app from the chat or the
-# dashboard). The other passes (trial lifecycle, win-back, licence
-# re-verification, release of deleted workspaces' licences) are gated by their
-# own windows and flags, so running them more often sends nothing twice.
+# Cloud runs it every hour from a systemd timer on the droplet
+# (anythingmcp-onboarding-cron.timer). This workflow is only a manual fallback
+# (Actions → Run workflow), for example while the droplet timer is down. Its
+# hourly schedule was removed in Nov 2026: with the timer, every pass ran twice
+# and examined ~11k users twice for nothing.
