You SSH into the box to check why the nightly report didn't send. You run crontab -l. There's a wall of lines, half of them commented out, one pointing at a bin/console command that got renamed six months ago. Nobody knows who added the 3am entry. It's not in git. It's not in the deploy pipeline. It exists only on this one server, and when the box gets recycled by the autoscaler, it's gone.
