+# Collects GitHub traffic (clones + views) daily and appends the per-day
+# breakdown to CSVs under traffic/. GitHub only serves a trailing 14-day
+# window, so this job preserves history by upserting each day's row.
+#
+# Requires a repo secret named TRAFFIC_PAT: a token with read access to
+# repository traffic (classic PAT with "repo" scope, or a fine-grained PAT
+# with "Administration: read"). The default GITHUB_TOKEN cannot read the
+# traffic API (returns 403).
