Every alert here only fires on failure, which leaves silence ambiguous: either all is well, or the thing meant to warn you is itself broken. That ambiguity is exactly what let the off-site backup sit dead for ten weeks, and then for another eight days after it was supposedly fixed. weekly-health.sh sends one note a week whether or not anything is wrong. It checks the four things worth knowing: the website answers, off-site backups are current, the NAS is reachable, and whether the phone apps have fallen behind the website. If everything is fine it says so in a sentence and lists what it checked. If something is not, it leads with what needs doing. It is deliberately the only scheduled mail. Everything else stays quiet unless it needs something, so a message in the inbox always means either the weekly note or a real problem. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
