+/**
+ * v1.18.11 (P2) — nightly status batch. The 02:00 anchor cron runs
+ * `generateStatusBatchForUser` for every candidate: it builds all seven
+ * per-metric snapshots once and issues ONE provider call for the metrics
+ * still needing the LLM (seed-pinned + grounded inside `runStatusCompletion`,
+ * unchanged), fanning the response into the SAME per-metric cache rows the
+ * standalone generators wrote.
+ *
+ * The six later per-metric crons (02:05–02:30) stay registered and keep their
+ * own drivers: a card the batch wrote today resolves inside their `prepare`
+ * step as a calendar-day cache hit (`served`, no provider call, no snapshot
+ * rebuild), so they cost a cache read and cover the edge cases the batch
+ * can't — a user discovered after 02:00, a metric the batch omitted, or a
+ * batch-call failure (which falls each metric back to its single-card path
+ * inside the batch itself). Net effect: the nightly ladder pays one call per
+ * user instead of seven, with no queue/registry churn.
