+# Pings Slack when one of our community / open-source triage automations fails, so we
+# notice breakages (a retired model, an API change, a bad deploy) without watching the
+# Actions tab. This is a deliberately curated list, NOT every workflow in the repo — add
+# a workflow below only if it's part of the community/triage tooling we actively babysit.
