GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions schedules can run late or not at all. Watch them.

The GitHub Actions scheduler gives no guarantees: under load a run slips by tens of minutes, and in an inactive repository the schedule is disabled entirely. Notifications cover failed runs — but not runs that never happened.
