+# notify-release-failure.yml — Posts a compact Slack digest of auto-release failures.
+#
+# Auto-release workflows (discover -> pipeline) fail silently: a scheduled release
+# breaks, no PR is involved, and nobody is watching the Actions tab.
+#
+# This runs twice a day (16:00 and 20:00 UTC), sweeps the GitHub API for
+# auto-release runs that FAILED since the previous sweep, and posts ONE compact
+# Slack message listing them. If nothing failed, it stays silent (no noise). Each
+# failure is reported exactly once: the two sweeps use complementary lookback
+# windows that tile the day (20:00 sweep looks back 4h; 16:00 sweep looks back 20h).
+#
+# Runs are matched on FAILURE time (updated_at), not start time, because heavy GPU
+# releases can build for hours — a run started before a sweep may only fail after.
+#
+# Coverage is by naming convention: any workflow whose name starts with "Auto
+# Release" is included, so new autorelease variants are picked up automatically
+# with no list to maintain. Manual "Dispatch -" release runs are excluded (a human
+# is already watching those).
+#
+# Payload is a flat key/value body posted to a Slack Workflow Builder webhook
+# (same style as scripts/ci/autocurrency/utils.sh). Slack owns formatting/routing:
+#   count    — number of failed auto-release runs in the window
+#   failures — pre-formatted multi-line list, one failure per line
+#              ("• <short-name> → <run-url>", "Auto Release - " prefix stripped;
+#              Slack Workflow Builder auto-linkifies the bare URL)
+# Webhook is the GitHub Actions secret SLACK_RELEASE_FAILURE_WEBHOOK_URL.
