# User

Who {{ owner.short_name or owner.name or OWNER_PLACEHOLDER }} is — the person {{ agent.name }} works for, plus the areas you cover and where the automation runs. **This is Config: edit it freely; Alexandria updates never touch it.**

## Owner
- **Name:** {{ owner.name or OWNER_PLACEHOLDER }}
{% if owner.aliases %}- **Also known as:** {{ owner.aliases | join(", ") }}
{% endif %}- **Home timezone:** {{ owner.timezone_default }}
- **Email(s):** {{ owner.emails | join(", ") }}

## Areas
{% for a in areas %}- [[{{ a.name }}]]
{% endfor %}

## Where automation runs
- **Runner:** `{{ automation.runner | default("none") }}`
{% if automation.runner == "laptop-github-actions" %}- The digest and the inbound-email poll run in **GitHub Actions** (this repo's *Actions* tab). There is no local cron or daemon — nothing to find on the laptop.
{% elif automation.runner == "server-macos" %}- An always-on machine runs the schedule via `launchd`; the secrets env and runtime state live on that machine, not in the vault.
{% else %}- No automation runner is configured — digests run only when invoked manually.
{% endif %}
