 - `cite42_tracker_create`: create a draft weekly or monthly tracker — one measurement applied to a list of prompts. No prompt list yet? Run `cite42_map_ai_prompts` first. Creating a draft is free and does not schedule calls.
 - `cite42_tracker_update`: replace the whole tracker definition — name, cadence, measurement, prompts and configuration. A tracker read returns the same shape, so read it, change what you need, and send it back. Updating is free.
-- `cite42_tracker_activate`: activate or resume recurring runs. You must pass the exact `estimatedCostMicroPerRun` from the latest tracker record as `maxCostMicroPerRun`; activation authorizes billed scheduled runs until the tracker is paused. The response carries the balance, the cost per run and `runsDryAt` — the date the balance stops covering your active trackers — and activation is refused when the balance cannot cover even the next run.

When tracker emails are on, activation also sends a setup summary.
 - `cite42_tracker_pause`: stop future scheduled runs while preserving configuration and history. Pausing is free.
 - `cite42_tracker_delete`: permanently delete a draft or paused tracker and its run history. Active trackers must be paused first, and deletion is rejected while a run is queued or running. Financial usage records remain available.
-- `cite42_tracker_run`: queue one manual run of every saved prompt. Each prompt is billed as its own tool call at the normal rate.
+- `cite42_tracker_run`: queue one manual run of every saved prompt. Each prompt is billed as its own tool call at the normal rate, and completion sends the same current-results email as a scheduled run—even for a baseline or an unchanged result.
 - `cite42_trackers`: list trackers, schedules, statuses, cost estimates, and last/next run times. Reading the list is free.
 - `cite42_tracker_report`: read bounded stored run history with results, changes, status, sampled time, and costs (latest 8 by default, up to 20). Reading stored reports is free.
