Pipelines
Real automated cron jobs on your server โ not something SemiJo triggers or monitors live.
โ Possible gap detected
Based on the cost logs you shared, both pipelines' last recorded run was August 28. Africa Five runs Mon/Wed/Fri and should have fired at least twice more since then. That final Aug 28 run also cost only $0.07 โ far below the usual ~$0.36-0.40 for a full 5-region run โ suggesting it may have failed partway through. Worth checking your server's cron logs directly to confirm whether these are still actually running.
๐ Africa Five
Five regional intelligence briefs โ East, West, North, Central, Southern Africa โ pulled from 15+ RSS feeds per region, ranked, synthesised by Claude Sonnet, and posted as WordPress drafts in the Africa Five category.
Schedule: Mon/Wed/Fri, 4:00 AM EAT
Category: Africa Five (43)
Engine: Claude Sonnet 4.6
Cost/run: ~$0.35-0.40 (5 regions)
Last logged run: Aug 28, 2026
File: africa-five-pipeline.php
๐ช๐น Ethiopia Insight
Daily East Africa / Horn analysis, ~75% Ethiopia-weighted. Business & Economy beat Mon/Wed/Fri, Politics & Security beat Tue/Thu โ one News Analysis piece per run, posted as a WordPress draft.
Schedule: Mon-Fri, 6:00 AM EAT
Category: Ethiopia Insight (47)
Engine: Claude Sonnet 4.6
Cost/run: ~$0.08-0.15
Last logged run: Aug 28, 2026

These run independently on your server's cron schedule โ SemiJo's workspace doesn't trigger, monitor, or control them directly. The details above reflect the files and logs you shared with me, not a live connection. To check current status yourself: cPanel โ Cron Jobs (confirm both are still scheduled), or SSH:
tail -f /home/africats/pipeline/africa-five.log and tail -f /home/africats/pipeline/ethiopia-insight.log.
