waiting for a runner to pick up this job... means the GitHub Actions job is queued, not broken: no online, idle runner carries every label in its runs-on, so nothing picks it up.

Excludes CI runners and build workers from dev shutdown schedules. Use when a stop schedule caught ephemeral build infrastructure and stalled pipelines overnight. Not for schedules scoped to explicitly tagged dev machines.
Fixes an agent's daily scheduled run that never archives outputs: make archiving part of the run's definition of done, not an afterthought. For agent builders.
Fixes an agent's output-stripping that left dangling execution_counts: strip outputs and reset counts together. For agent builders.
Cleans up zombie kernel processes an agent left behind: find them, kill them, and give the agent a shutdown discipline. Zombies eat ports and memory. For agent builders.
Debugs the Cypress automation client disconnected flake in CI. Use when runs intermittently die with The automation client disconnected. Covers rerunning with debug logging, checking container memory pressure, disabling the GPU, and pinning the browser version. Not for consistent disconnects on a single spec.
Cleans up after a hydra credential-guessing run that an agent timed out against an authorized lab target. Use when killed hydra workers linger as zombie processes on the tester's own workstation and the agent never reaps them. Not for hydra being blocked by the target.
Cleans up and prevents upgrade PRs opened during a code freeze. Use it when an agent's schedule fires during a freeze window and PRs land on a frozen branch. Key trigger: PRs opened inside the freeze dates against a protected release line. Not for: emergency hotfix PRs, which are supposed to cut through a freeze.

Clears the backlog of zombie accounts consuming paid seats by diffing HR terminations against active IdP accounts, bulk-deprovisioning the zombies, and fixing the offboarding trigger. Use when terminated users remain active. Not for active users holding unneeded licenses.
