+ * ---------------------
+ * DRAFT_RETENTION_DAYS  (number, default 30)
+ *   Number of days a draft can go without being auto-saved before it becomes

+ *
+ * DRAFT_CLEANUP_CRON  (cron expression, default "0 3 * * *")
+ *   When the cleanup job fires.  The expression is in standard 5-field cron
+ *   syntax and is interpreted in the server's local timezone (UTC in
+ *   production).  The default runs once a day at 03:00 UTC, offset from the
+ *   overdue-invoice job (02:00 UTC) to avoid DB lock contention.
+ *
+ *   Examples:
+ *     "0 3 * * *"   – daily at 03:00 UTC  (production default)
+ *     "* * * * *"   – every minute        (useful for local smoke-testing)
