How it runs
The AP Bot owns this as part of its theme. On its cadence it reads new emails in invoices@ with attachments, produces draft bills matched to POs, exceptions list, and stops. It writes one heartbeat line to the ops log so a missed run shows up in the morning message.
The risk to watch
Vendor email is untrusted text; never let this Bot pay.
