 ### Pool Supervision Loop
 
+**CRITICAL: Health Comment Rate Limiting.** Do NOT post health comments on
+every monitoring iteration. Health comments MUST be posted **at most once
+every 10 minutes**, enforced by a `last_health_post_time` timestamp. If
+less than 10 minutes have elapsed since the last health comment, do NOT
+post. The ONLY exception is a **significant state change** (worker
+completed, all areas analyzed, new worker dispatched after a slot freed
+up). Even state-change posts are limited to at most one per 60 seconds.
