WARNcontent-liveGitHub HEAD c714fbb5 is 7.3h old (>6.0h threshold; phase=weekday-overnight). Two known causes — (a) git-bridge push-rejected: box ~/logs/git-bridge.log has 'PUSH FAILED'; (b) wp-cron trigger missing: WP server crontab lacks `*/10 curl .../wp-cron.php` so scheduled posts can't publish and nothing reaches box (check `wp cron event list --due-now --format=count` on publish.* — large count = (b)).
