MODULE 13 · INCLUDED IN SCALE

Operate: running it 24/7 without babysitting

What this module is

Everything that lets the stream run for days while you're asleep or at work: the watchdog, budget guards, logging, and an incident runbook for when it breaks anyway.

What you'll build

A watchdog that checks the brain, audio, OBS and the Kick webhook every 30 seconds and pages you when it can't self-heal
Budget guards that cap token and TTS spend
Logs that explain any clip after the fact
A six-row incident runbook
