+      <p>
+        When <code>SENTRY_DSN</code> is set, the self-host runtime emits Sentry monitor check-ins
+        for the recurring loops where silent stoppage matters most. Leaving <code>SENTRY_DSN</code>{" "}
+        unset keeps monitor reporting off.

+        A missed monitor means the process may still be alive but the recurring work is not checking
+        in on schedule. Pair the monitor with queue depth, dead-job counts, and the structured error
+        log for the same subsystem.
