WORKFLOW UPDATE — triage-intake.org auto mode gains a phone (ntfy) delivery step. Supersedes/consolidates the earlier 2026-06-18-1512 send.

WHAT we did: added a new subsection 'Push each sweep to Craig's phone (ntfy) — the primary delivery' under 'Trigger and delivery' in the auto-mode section. It makes phone-notify (the self-hosted ntfy channel over Tailscale) the primary delivery for every auto-mode sweep, pushing the fuller End-of-sweep output (per-source deltas + open-PR/Linear state + the awaiting-ack list + a one-line verdict + a timestamp; SCAN FAILED banner if any source failed), and polling phone-recv each sweep for Craig's replies. Falls back to inline if phone-notify is absent.

WHY: auto mode exists precisely for when Craig is away from the desk (out of office for a while, on vacation — which is the case right now, traveling 6/17-24). An inline-only report is useless if he is not at the screen; the whole point is reaching his phone. We ran it live this way all day and it worked, so we codified the delivery rather than re-deriving it each time. Craig confirmed this is his standard pattern: he starts auto-triage before leaving the office / on vacation.

Companion: the reference_phone_notify_ntfy_channel harness memory documents the channel + the high-bar caveat. A separate task is producing standalone ntfy setup instructions (install + start/stop the service) so the channel can be brought up on other machines.
