### Changed

- CI only: the canary's optional paid secret `MEDIUM_PROXY` now reaches it only on a new weekly
run (Mondays 06:20 UTC) and on a manual dispatch. The daily run keeps its
schedule and takes the free route without them, so it bills nothing.
- CI only: the canary now runs weekly (Mondays 06:20 UTC) and on a manual dispatch, with its optional secret `MEDIUM_PROXY` passed on every run; the daily schedule is removed.
