Timeline (last 90 days)
The developer added a crontab entry as `crontab(hour=7, minute=0, day_of_week="3")`, passing the arguments `{"fmt": "long", "series": "bajka"}`, triggered every Wednesday at 07:00 UTC.
The original text suggests writing every crontab hour in the scheduler's own time zone, using comments to explain what the local time means on either side of the clock change, and configuring a deploy freeze window for each scheduled run.
In crontab, /dev/null is often used as a placeholder to suppress email notifications.
