+## Scheduled tasks (scheduler addon)
+
+The portal and gateway run their own housekeeping via the Cloudron scheduler
+addon, declared in each app's `CloudronManifest.json` under `addons.scheduler`:
+
+- **portal**: `membership_sweep` (nightly 3am, `/app/code/sweep.sh` →
+  `POST /admin/sweep` with the `WEBHOOK_TOKEN` header) and `rag_refresh`
+  (nightly 3:30am, `/app/code/rag_refresh.py` — pulls docs from the Gitea raw
+  API and refreshes the chat knowledge base; needs `OWUI_API_KEY` +
+  `DOCS_KNOWLEDGE_ID` in the app env).
+- **gateway**: `audio_keepalive` (every 10 minutes, `/app/code/audio_keepalive.py`
+  — pings the Tinfoil audio models locally to avoid the ~24s TEE cold-start;
+  reads the master key from `/app/data/.master_key`, which `start.sh` writes —
+  the env var `LITELLM_MASTER_KEY` is only exported into the litellm process).
+
+**After any manifest change, verify the scheduler survived the deploy:** the
+build log must show `setupAddons: setting up addon scheduler with options
+{...}` listing your task(s), and each script must succeed when run manually
+inside the container (`cloudron exec --app <id> -- <command>`). The scheduler
+has historically gone missing from the manifest during edits — a deploy without
+the setupAddons line means nightly reconciliation is NOT running.

 ## Custom apps have no env-var UI
 
 The member portal is a *custom* app (packaged by us), not an App Store app.
