Scheduled jobs · Reference
109 scheduled jobs across two systems. Each job lives in exactly one.
Fonteum runs scheduled work across two cron systems: Inngest (for jobs that need step-level retries, event emission, or observability) and Vercel cron (for lightweight HTTP-only operations). Ownership is decided by the AGENTS.md §cron-doctrine decision tree; the tools/cron-ownership-check.sh CI gate blocks any job that lands in both systems or is missing from this page.
1. Inngest functions (103)
Step-orchestrated work — retries, observability, event emission.
Inngest owns work that needs structured failure handling. Source pullers (network can flap), identity-linker (multi-step batch), webhook-deliverer (per-recipient retry), and citation-discoverer (rate-limited external API) all rely on Inngest’s step primitives + dashboard observability.

READ-ONLY — reads gsc_page_metrics / gsc_query_metrics / gsc_index_coverage / page_quality_runs and emails the State-of-SEO digest. Loop 6: mines GSC queries, classifies junk (dataset-ID/API-code) vs buyer-intent, flags title/meta rewrite candidates + pages ranking on junk. Loop 5: flags indexed-but-zero-impression thin pages into the remediation queue + routes the GSC coverage backlog. Headline KPIs are indexation %, score-band movement, and CTR-gap closure — never keyword rank. Emits flags; mutates no content. |
ingestion-health-digest | 0 15 * * * | src/inngest/functions/ingestion-alert-monitor.ts | Daily 15:00 UTC autopilot-hardening integrity digest: reads open source_schema_drift events, recent source_snapshot_quarantine incidents, and degraded source_health_status rows, then sends ONE consolidated operator alert when anything is wrong. Read-only; silent on a clean run. Closes the notify-don't-rot gap so a broken or drifting pipe is a same-day email, never silent rot. |
integrity-anchor-daily | 0 16 * * * | src/inngest/functions/integrity-anchor-monitor.ts | Daily 16:00 UTC external timestamp attempt (moat-defense #126): submits the signed chain head and latest attestation root to public OpenTimestamps calendars and appends the returned proof to timestamp_anchor_attempts. Evidence checks append immutable timestamp_anchor_verifications rows. Neither path updates legacy timestamp_anchors, and a stored attempt is not independent mainnet validation. |
integrity-anchor-upgrade | 0 */6 * * * | src/inngest/functions/integrity-anchor-monitor.ts | Every-6-hours OpenTimestamps evidence poll (moat-defense #126): re-checks append-only attempts and inserts a new immutable timestamp_anchor_verifications row for the result. It never flips or updates a legacy timestamp_anchors status; public mainnet evidence requires an authentic retained block header and a successful proof check. |
integrity-chain-liveness | 0 * * * * | src/inngest/functions/integrity-anchor-monitor.ts | Hourly integrity-chain liveness guard: reads chain_state.last_extended_at and raises a hard operator alert when the signed chain has not advanced for more than six hours. Read-only on integrity state. |
integrity-self-audit | 30 16 * * * | src/inngest/functions/integrity-anchor-monitor.ts | Daily 16:30 UTC integrity self-audit (moat-defense #126): re-derives EVERY signed chain link (the N-key self-test) + cross-checks a witness sample against the recorded hashes, and emails the operator on any HARD breach (HASH_MISMATCH / WITNESS_INVALID / CHAIN_BROKEN). Read-only; silent on a clean run. So a DD audit is never the first time the proof runs. |
snapshot-staleness-watchdog | 0 4 * * * | src/inngest/functions/snapshot-staleness-watchdog.ts | Daily 04:00 UTC research_snapshots staleness watchdog: for each active snapshot-bearing source, compares the freshest snapshot_date against the source's own refresh_cadence_days, writes snapshot_stale rows to selfheal_anomaly_log, and alerts operator when any provenance snapshot has gone stale. |
sitemap-orphan-audit | 0 5 * * 3 | src/inngest/functions/sitemap-orphan-audit.ts | Weekly Wednesday 05:00 UTC sitemap/orphan/internal-link audit: flags orphan pages (0 inbound), pages below the 3-link doctrine threshold, and sitemap URLs returning 404. Writes to selfheal_page_audit. |
site-crawl-monitor | 0 3 * * 1 | src/inngest/functions/site-crawl-monitor.ts | Weekly Monday 03:00 UTC full-site render-and-assert crawl (sitemap + edge-parameter coverage + boundary edge-cases). Asserts HTTP 200, no error/empty/fallback state, resolved links, JSON-LD, metadata, visible-first SSR, and data-truth; persists the failure set to site_crawl_runs and emails ONLY new failures vs the prior run. |
recapture-loop-daily | 0 8 * * * | src/inngest/functions/recapture-loop.ts | §moat-recapture: forward-ready daily-tier loop for recapture-enabled sources that do not own a dedicated source-puller function. Dedicated sanctions pullers are excluded to prevent duplicate refreshes. |
recapture-loop-weekly | 0 8 * * 1 | src/inngest/functions/recapture-loop.ts | §moat-recapture: weekly-tier recapture loop (same engine as the daily loop, scoped to weekly-cadence recapture-enabled sources). No-ops cleanly when no weekly source is wired yet. |
recapture-loop-monthly | 0 8 1 * * | src/inngest/functions/recapture-loop.ts | §moat-recapture: monthly-tier recapture loop (1st of month). Forward-ready for monthly-cadence bitemporal sources. |
recapture-loop-quarterly | 0 8 1 1,4,7,10 * | src/inngest/functions/recapture-loop.ts | §moat-recapture: quarterly-tier recapture loop (1st of Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct). Forward-ready for quarterly-cadence bitemporal sources. |
recapture-loop-annual | 0 8 1 1 * | src/inngest/functions/recapture-loop.ts | §moat-recapture: annual-tier recapture loop (Jan 1). Forward-ready for annual-cadence bitemporal sources. |
recapture-loop-static | 0 8 1 1 * | src/inngest/functions/recapture-loop.ts | §moat-recapture: static-tier recapture loop (Jan 1 drift safety-net). Forward-ready for slow-reference bitemporal sources. |
recapture-watchdog | 0 13 * * * | src/inngest/functions/recapture-watchdog.ts | §moat-recapture: daily 13:00 UTC freshness-SLO watchdog. Any recapture-enabled source past its cadence interval + grace gets exactly one deterministic auto-re-run; escalates by email if the re-run did not land; folds in upstream-degraded sources; then pings the external dead-man-switch (DEADMAN_HEARTBEAT_URL) so an outside monitor knows the watchdog ran. |
recapture-accuracy-monitor | 0 17 * * * | src/inngest/functions/recapture-accuracy-monitor.ts | §moat-recapture: daily 17:00 UTC accuracy monitor. Samples N current stored facts per recapture-enabled source, re-fetches the live government source, and writes the measured per-source accuracy % to data_quality_runs. Alerts the operator on any sub-threshold source; silent when clean. |
refresh-reminder-<family> | per-source from cron-sources.cron_expression | src/inngest/functions/source-refresh-reminders.ts | Family-specific cadence reminder that nags the operator to refresh a source on schedule (NPPES, Care Compare, etc.). |
source-health-monitor | */15 * * * * | src/inngest/functions/source-health-monitor.ts | HEAD probe per source upstream URL; flips source_health_status row + emits fonteum/source.health_status_changed. |
source-schema-drift-monitor | 0 8 * * 1 | src/inngest/functions/source-schema-drift-monitor.ts | Weekly Monday 08:00 UTC schema-fingerprint check per registered source (URL resolves + file format + depended-on columns present). Records drift to source_schema_drift and fails loud when a publisher changes a column/format/URL. |

state-of-fonteum-digest | 30 13 * * 1 | src/inngest/functions/state-of-fonteum-digest.ts | §self-healing-remediation: weekly Monday 13:30 UTC State of Fonteum digest. Reads remediation_log + source_recapture_state and rebinds freshness to proved transitions in the attested snapshot ledger (read-only), then emails the self-healing scoreboard — auto-remediation rate, sources healed, escalations, dead-lettered, and freshness-SLO compliance. Workflow execution and content freshness remain separate. The positive-scoreboard counterpart to the alert watchdogs; emails every week as the proof the platform runs unattended. |
ingestion-failure-alertevent: inngest/function.failed | event | src/inngest/functions/ingestion-alert-monitor.ts | Autopilot-hardening: listens for inngest/function.failed scoped to the autonomous ingestion crons (source pullers, Care Compare monthly ingests, daily snapshotter) and sends a Resend operator alert when one fails after exhausting retries. A failed pull is a flagged missed refresh, never corruption. |
event-emitterevent: fonteum/source.snapshot_inserted | event | src/inngest/functions/event-emitter.ts | Fans source-snapshot-inserted events into downstream consumers (webhook-deliverer, methodology-publisher). |
refresh-manual-triggerevent: source.refresh.manual_triggered | event | src/inngest/functions/source-refresh-reminders.ts | Operator-fired manual refresh of a source family — re-runs the puller out-of-cadence. |

chain-extender | */5 * * * * | src/inngest/functions/chain-extender.ts | Polls snapshot_attestations for unchained rows; links previous_link_hash to extend the attestation chain. |
endpoint-uptime-monitor | */5 * * * * | src/inngest/functions/endpoint-uptime-monitor.ts | 5-min /api/health transport-reachability ping; records result in endpoint_uptime_checks for rolling 24h/30d uptime % on /status. Pipeline freshness, source completeness, and incidents are separate status dimensions. |
entity-perception-probe | 0 5 * * 2 | src/inngest/functions/entity-perception-probe.ts | Weekly Tue 05:00 UTC (§entity-perception-tracker, Layer D): probes how the 4 AI assistants + Google SERP describe Fonteum, classifies each healthcare_only/multi_vertical/mixed, appends to entity_perception_captures to trend the multi-vertical-vs-healthcare-only share on /owner. Read-only on the live web; env-keyed (LLM keys + DataForSEO); degrades to empty when keys unset. Inngest because it calls external APIs with retries. |
freshness-watchdog | 0 14 * * * | src/inngest/functions/freshness-watchdog.ts | Configured daily freshness audit: fetches /api/freshness, compares last_updated against declared cadence, and is intended to email the operator on threshold breaches. The schedule is not evidence that a run succeeded. |
snapshot-archive | 0 3 * * * | src/inngest/functions/snapshot-archive.ts | Configured for 03:00 UTC content-addressed NPPES + PECOS snapshots to S3. Deduplication and dataset_snapshots indexing describe the job path; consult the loaded/status date for the latest successful run. |
risk-signal-refresh | 0 4 * * * | src/inngest/functions/risk-signal-refresh.ts | Configured for a 04:00 UTC refresh of exact public exclusion-list records in provider_risk_signals. The schedule does not prove a successful load; consult the serving coverage date. |
risk-signal-refresh-error-alertevent: inngest/function.failed | event | src/inngest/functions/risk-signal-refresh.ts | Event-triggered: listens for inngest/function.failed scoped to risk-signal-refresh and sends a Resend operator alert. |
daily-dataset-snapshotter | 15 6 * * * | src/inngest/functions/daily-dataset-snapshotter.ts | Daily 06:15 UTC integrity observation. Before the 2026-08-01 cutover it preserves the frozen count-observation-v1 path. At and after the cutover it emits exact row-Merkle evidence only for oig_leie, pecos_ppef, and hrsa_shortage_areas, and fails closed unless the source producer has banked and sealed an immutable exact-row capture. This job is not an upstream source refresh. |
source-row-history-capture-daily | 45 8 * * * | src/inngest/functions/row-history-capture.ts | Daily 08:45 UTC private history follower over sealed row-Merkle observations. The first eligible full rowset opens a baseline; a changed content hash closes missing exact-row intervals and opens new ones, while an unchanged hash records a dated zero-diff capture. It does not write snapshot, serving, or freshness tables. |

2. Vercel cron (6)
HTTP boundary ticks — most fire-and-forget; one liveness watchdog exception.
Vercel cron owns lightweight HTTP operations and one deliberate Vercel-boundary watchdog. Most entries complete quickly without step orchestration. ops-heartbeat is the exception because its external deadman must detect a Vercel scheduler, proxy, or invocation failure before the application can create a ledger row. Defined in vercel.json crons[]; each entry maps to a src/app/api/cron/<name>/route.ts handler.
| Job ID | Schedule (UTC) | Source file | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
ping-new-urls | 17 * * * * | src/app/api/cron/ping-new-urls/route.ts | Hourly IndexNow submission for current Fonteum brand, dataset, and research URLs. |
provenance-audit | 0 7 * * * | src/app/api/cron/provenance-audit/route.ts | Nightly 07:00 UTC provenance source health check — HEAD/GETs every cited source_url, logs reachability + latency + content-SHA drift to provenance_audit_log; surfaces on /admin/provenance-audit. |
ops-heartbeat | 17 17 * * * | src/app/api/cron/ops-heartbeat/route.ts | Daily strict operations heartbeat — the Vercel-boundary watchdog exception: persists ledger checks and incident evidence, dispatches required operations alerts, and pings the dedicated deadman only after an observable green completion. It remains Vercel-bound so a missed deadman ping detects scheduler, proxy, or invocation failures that produce no application ledger row. |
platform-stats-snapshot | 30 7 * * * | src/app/api/cron/platform-stats-snapshot/route.ts | Daily dated snapshot of headline platform-coverage counts into platform_stats_snapshots; invalidates both production cache domains, regenerates the homepage, /sources, discovery artifacts, and API docs, then verifies the published observation date. |

3. Picking a system
Decision tree — including the Vercel-boundary watchdog exception.
- Does the job need step-level retries, idempotency, or step-orchestration? → Inngest.
- Does the job emit events that downstream Inngest functions consume? → Inngest.
- Does the job need observability beyond simple HTTP-200/non-200? → Inngest.
- Lightweight HTTP-only operation that completes in seconds and does not need step orchestration? → Vercel cron.
ops-heartbeatis the explicit Vercel-boundary watchdog exception: use Vercel cron when an external deadman must detect a scheduler, proxy, or invocation failure before an application ledger row can exist.
When unclear, default to Inngest — it is strictly more capable. The documented ops-heartbeat boundary watchdog is the narrow exception. The tools/cron-ownership-check.sh CI gate blocks any job that lands in both systems and any job that is missing from this page’s registry.
