Key Decisions
| Decision | Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Token storage | Database/KV, not env vars | Refresh tokens change each use |
| Scheduling | Queue-based, not direct API | Rate limit compliance |
| Media upload | Pre-process images | Reduce REJECTED media states |
| Multi-profile | Batch schedule per profile | Separate errors per profile |
