GitHub Actions does not reliably honor `* * * * *` schedules — observed cadence is ~25-70 minutes between runs, which occasionally exceeds the Dead Man's Snitch hourly window and triggers spurious alerts. Match the cron to GitHub's actual delivery cadence so hourly snitches stop flapping. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

GitHub Actions does not reliably honor
* * * * *schedules. Observed cadence today onpr-websitewas ~25-70 min between runs (e.g. 03:59 UTC → 05:09 UTC = 70 min gap), which exceeds the Dead Man's Snitch hourly window and triggers a "missing" alert even though every individual run succeeds. All recent runs are green — thehsearch API is fine; this is purely a cron-throttling issue on GitHub's side.*/15 * * * *expresses what GitHub actually delivers, so hourly snitches stop flapping.Test plan
