Subject: [PATCH] feat(farm-aggregator): switch to Render free cron jobs (3
 services)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replaces the persistent web service with 3 separate Render Cron Job
services — pulse (hourly), daily digest (06:00), weekly summary (Mon 06:00).
Each job runs and exits, no $7/mo web service needed.
