+  Auto-resolves active `Preseem.Insight` rows that haven't been
+  reaffirmed in `:max_age_days` (default 7).
+
+  Why this is safe: every rule's dedup query filters by `status:
+  "active"`, so once an insight is flipped to `resolved` the next rule
+  pass will create a fresh one — but only if the underlying condition
+  is *still* present. Stale insights that no longer reflect reality
+  simply stay resolved and disappear from the dashboard.
+
+  Runs nightly from the Oban cron. The default window can be overridden
+  per environment via:
