   Decisions and findings for the routine, from #16 (PR #66, decision 027):

   What it writes

   • src/data/weekly.ts (the WEEK object, typed by Week in src/lib/weekly.ts), not public/weekly.json. Replaced in full each week.
   • Step-by-step guide: docs/weekly-update.md. The skill (.claude/skills/weekly-update/SKILL.md) should point to it rather than repeat it.

   Source and timing

   • Source: the gta.wiki weekly event page, the newest in Category:Weekly events (infobox type = weeklyevent), read as wikitext through https://gta.wiki/api.php?action=parse&page=<title>&prop=wikitext&format=json. Reachable from the cloud environment; the Rockstar Newswire is not (JavaScript-only, its API host did not answer) and is only kept as a link.
   • Schedule: Thursday late afternoon, around 16:00 UTC. On 2026-10-15 the page was created at 23:53 UTC the night before, and its Gun Van, Salvage Yard and Prize Ride parts were only filled in between 11:52 and 11:57 UTC.
   • Week bounds: start Thursday 2:00 AM US Pacific (09:00 UTC during US daylight saving time, 10:00 UTC otherwise), end at the next week's start, or later if the page's dates span longer. Not officially sourced; check once against a real reset.

   Decided: an AI routine, not a deterministic script
   The wiki page is hand-written and its wording changes week to week ("was changed to", "were remained to"). Some steps need judgement too: dropping GTA+ values, linking a bonus to an owned property (property id), and keeping seasonal activities with a bonus this week out of "Also running". A script would either break or guess wrong without saying so.

   The routine must stop and flag instead of writing when

   • the page is missing or incomplete (no Discounts or Standard Bonuses section, or Gun Van / Salvage Yard / Prize Ride not filled in yet);
   • the week has something the Week type cannot hold: a discount that is not a vehicle, property or weapon (kind), or a bonus paying something other than GTA$ and RP, GTA$ or RP (pays). It should say so on the PR instead of changing the type itself.

   Left out on purpose: everything GTA+; the Gun Van's daily location and the daily Junk Energy and RC Time Trials (daily and map-bound; no daily source).

   Merge policy: auto-merge with strict checks, possible

   1. A workflow job that fails unless the PR comes from the routine's branch (e.g. claude/weekly-*) and changes only src/data/weekly.ts.
   2. Branch protection on main requiring that job and the existing verify check; "Allow auto-merge" turned on in the repository settings.
   3. The routine opens the PR and enables auto-merge (squash). Anything outside that one file then waits for review.

   What CI cannot catch is a wrong but well-formed entry (a misread vehicle name, a wrong percentage). If a week is never merged, the Weekly tab shows "Out of date" instead of wrong data.
