+**Automation failures** — every 15 minutes the app looks at the latest run of
+each Semaphore template and each Gitea repo's latest workflow run. A failed one
+raises a single notification (with the project/template or repo, run number, and
+for Gitea the run's link), and another when a later run succeeds. It's
+state-based, so a job that fails every night alerts on the first failure rather
+than every night. A run that's still going, was cancelled, or was stopped by
+hand leaves things as they were, and anything that couldn't be read (a Semaphore
+project or Gitea repo that errored, or an integration that's down) is neither
+cleared nor re-announced. The first check after upgrading only records what's
+already failing, so old failures aren't announced. Toggle it under Settings →
+Notifications. For Gitea this follows the repo's most recent run on any
+workflow or branch, the same as the Gitea page shows.
+
 **Maintenance mode** silences alerts about one server, integration, or DNS
 provider while you work on it (server offline / disk, storage and Synology
 health, Proxmox backup alerts, and "integration down" for that service type).
