 #  Nightly Frigate host reboot plus update/runtime/disk health automations.
 # -------------------------------------------------------------------
 # Related Issue: 1584
+# Related Issue: 1798
 # Notes: Creates HA repair issues when proxmox nodes report updates.
+# Notes: Proxmox update activity also writes HA persistent notifications.
 # Notes: Adds normalized runtime + disk health signals for dashboard/alerts.
-# Notes: Joanna dispatch is reserved for sustained runtime and disk-pressure degradations.
+# Notes: Joanna dispatch handles Proxmox updates plus sustained runtime/disk degradations.
 # Notes: Normalized disk usage sensors expose state_class for long-term trend rollups.
