Every scheduled workflow opened with an alarm clock, so the Actions list read as a column of identical icons that said nothing about the run. The clock now lives in run-name behind github.event_name == 'schedule', where it marks the one thing it can mark: a run nobody triggered. The name says what the run does, in two or three words. The dispatch menu shows names in one narrow column and truncates them, so a new lint caps a workflow_dispatch name at 25 characters and points the longer, explanatory wording at run-name, which carries no such limit.

GitHub Workflow Helpers 🔧
This directory holds the shell helpers that GitHub Actions workflows under .github/workflows/ call. Helpers are grouped by responsibility into subfolders so each workflow file pulls only from the clusters it actually needs.
Subfolders 🗂️
| Subfolder | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| runner/ | Host-runner hygiene around image builds and deploys (disk, swap, Docker daemon, diagnostics). |
| cancel/ | Cancellation of in-progress workflow runs on PR-close and branch-delete events. |
| cleanup/ | Scheduled repository maintenance that prunes stale GitHub resources. |
| resolve/ | Derivation of structured workflow inputs and outputs from repository state. |
| sync/ | Ref synchronization before workflow jobs derive CI scope from git history. |
| update/ | The scheduled 🔄 Update versions pipeline (version bumps and PR open/refresh). |
| release/ | Release-time gates that decide whether a tagged commit may be released. |
A new helper MUST live in the subfolder that matches its responsibility. New responsibilities MAY motivate a new subfolder, but MUST NOT flatten back into the top level.
