+## Workflows (version-controlled here)
+
+Importable workflow JSON lives in `workflows/`. The live workflows are
+stored in the n8n volume; these files are the reviewable, git-tracked
+source. Import via the UI (Workflows → Import from File) or
+`POST /api/v1/workflows` with an `X-N8N-API-KEY` header.

+| `workflows/wiki-compile-nudge.json` | Daily check that nudges Google Chat when the wiki-vault is due for a compile (≥10 new sources, or ≥7 days stale). Schedule → Postgres drift query against `petalbrain` → IF → Google Chat HTTP POST. |
+
+**`wiki-compile-nudge` — before it runs:**
+
+- Fill two placeholders after import: the **Postgres credential** (select
+  the existing `petalbrain` cred) and the **Google Chat space webhook URL**
+  in the HTTP node.
+- Depends on a `wiki.compile_runs` table in `petalbrain`
+  (`id bigserial`, `compiled_at timestamptz default now()`) and the
+  wiki-maintenance compile writing a row to it on each run — the drift
+  query reads `max(compiled_at)` as its "last compile" baseline.
+- The drift logic is in SQL (returns a `should_notify` boolean), so the
+  IF node just checks that flag.
