+- Documentation: the account link in the README now points at Helix instead of the Tray
+  marketing site.

+- **Scheduled (cron) functions.** Files under `functions/_scheduled/` can default-export

+  route. `cron` is a 5-field standard expression; `timezone` is an IANA name (default UTC).

+## Scheduled functions
+
+`functions/_scheduled/` is a reserved namespace for schedule definitions: every module file in it runs on a cron schedule instead of an HTTP route and must default-export `defineSchedule`. Don't create normal HTTP functions there — files in this directory never route:
+
+```typescript
+// functions/_scheduled/daily-report.ts
+import { defineSchedule } from '@trayai/helix-sdk';
+
+export default defineSchedule({
+  cron: '0 6 * * *',           // 5-field standard cron
+  timezone: 'Europe/London',   // IANA timezone name; defaults to UTC
+  handler: async (ctx) => {
+    ctx.log.info('daily report', { firedAt: ctx.trigger.firedAt });
+  },
+});
+```
+
+- **`cron`** is a 5-field standard expression (minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week). An expression that constrains both day-of-month and day-of-week is rejected at build time — leave one of them `*`.
+- **`timezone`** must be an IANA name (`"Europe/London"`); offset forms (`"+05:00"`) are rejected. Omit it for UTC.
+- The handler receives a `ScheduleContext`: the core `ctx` surface (`ctx.http`, `ctx.http.authed()`, `ctx.kv()`, `ctx.files()`, `ctx.log`, `ctx.config`, `ctx.state`, and the invocation identifiers) plus `ctx.trigger` (a `ScheduleTrigger`):
+
+| Property | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `ctx.trigger.type` | Always `'schedule'` |
+| `ctx.trigger.scheduledAt` | When the cron said the run should fire (`Date`) |
+| `ctx.trigger.firedAt` | When it actually executed (`Date`) |
+| `ctx.trigger.isManual` | `true` when the run was triggered manually rather than by the schedule |
+
+There is no request and no user: the request-derived fields (`ctx.input`, `ctx.method`, `ctx.path`, `ctx.headers`, `ctx.status()`, `ctx.error()`, `ctx.request`, `ctx.identity`) do not exist on a schedule context. Return nothing — there is no response; throwing an error fails the run.
+
+Things to know:
+
+- Schedules fire **on the deployed platform**. The local dev server does not fire them; `helix deploy` registers the schedules present at deploy time.
+- Overlapping runs are possible — write handlers to tolerate running concurrently.
+- Files and directories starting with `_` below `_scheduled/` are treated as helpers, not schedules — the only files that belong in the directory besides schedule definitions.
+- `getContext()` works inside schedule handlers; shared code can detect a scheduled run by checking for `ctx.trigger`.
