This session continued the scheduler retirement and WP cron cleanup lane. The goals were to prove whether the remaining wp-cron-health-monitor source lived in Cloudways, clean the dirty repo clones without touching unrelated work, build a reusable collision checker for future scheduler audits, and bake the scheduler summary format into automation QA closeouts.
Cloudways was inspected through the live application SSH path using the current WordPress host credentials stored in the website project mirror. The live app root was confirmed as /var/www/html/public_html, wp option get siteurl resolved to https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com, and targeted searches across the WordPress tree and the active plugin and theme directories found no wp-cron-health-monitor, wp-cron-health, run_wp_cron_health_check.sh, or routines-build reference. A direct wp cron event list on May 13, 2026 showed ordinary WordPress and plugin hooks only, and DISABLE_WP_CRON=1 confirmed the site relies on server-triggered WP cron rather than in-page triggering. That means Cloudways likely drives normal wp-cron.php, but this pass found no evidence that the external Notion-spamming health monitor itself lives in the live WordPress app tree.
The Cloudways API path was also partially verified. The current auth route responded at https://api.cloudways.com/api/v1/oauth/access_token, but the saved API key and saved Cloudways account email available in this workspace did not authenticate together, so the platform-level application cron list could not be queried from the API in this pass. The result is a stronger negative on Cloudways, but not a full panel-side exclusion.
A reusable scheduler collision checker was built at C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\scheduler-collision-checker\. It reads local Codex automations, Codex SQLite state, Windows Task Scheduler, visible Claude mirrors, and selected GitHub workflow roots, then writes JSON and markdown reports that classify findings as local_active, local_stale, cloud_schedule, mirror_only, or unknown_prove_first. After the repo cleanup, it was run against the real workflow roots and produced C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\scheduler-collision-checker\reports\20260513_191007\collision_summary.md, which showed no confirmed collisions, no remaining local Codex automations, two likely user-managed Windows tasks, eighteen Claude mirror entries, and zero scheduled GitHub workflow definitions in the inspected roots.
The automation QA skill was updated so future automation closeouts include a standard scheduler collision matrix and explicit live-vs-stale rules. The updated files are C:\Users\SAguiar\.codex\skills\automation-post-run-qa\SKILL.md, C:\Users\SAguiar\.codex\skills\automation-post-run-qa\scheduler-collision-template.md, and C:\Users\SAguiar\.codex\skills\automation-post-run-qa\references\qa-template.md.
The repo hygiene pass preserved rollback artifacts first under C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\repo-hygiene\2026-05-13_scheduler-residue-cleanup\, then cleaned only the stale scheduler residue from the affected clones. google-ads-cloud-runner, seo-cloud-runner, and _repo-staging\sail-seo were each aligned with origin/main. After cleanup, the remaining dirt was reduced to real local work only: competitor matrix files in google-ads-cloud-runner, remote-runner docs and scripts in seo-cloud-runner, and one untracked article file in sail-seo. The scheduler-related workflow noise is no longer mixed into those repos.

The repo clones are in a more usable state because the scheduler residue is gone and the remaining dirt is meaningful, not automation noise. The collision checker and QA template changes are now in place for future scheduler audits.
The one unresolved operational gap is still the real wp-cron-health-monitor source. The best remaining evidence still points to the Mac-side path /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/routines-build/scripts/automation/run_wp_cron_health_check.sh or to a Claude-private scheduler registry that is not mirrored into the visible Windows scheduler folders. That source was not deleted from this Windows machine because the live definition never became accessible here.
