# Issue Dispatcher Systemd Setup

## Why Separate Units
The issue-dispatcher is its own script, not a task run by runner.sh, so it has dedicated systemd units rather than using the `claude-scheduled@.service` template.

## Files
- `~/.config/systemd/user/claude-issue-dispatcher.service`
  - `TimeoutStartSec=1800` (30 min for up to 3 issues)
- `~/.config/systemd/user/claude-issue-dispatcher.timer`
  - Runs Mon-Fri at 09:45:00

## Key Config
```ini
[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=1800
ExecStart=%h/.config/claude-scheduled/issue-dispatcher.sh
```
