+time-aware-model-router.py — Route cron jobs to better models during high-error hours.
+
+Empirical finding (audit 2026-04-12): Error rate peaks at 18:00 (9.4%) during
+evening cron batches vs 4.0% at 09:00 during interactive work.
+
+This script provides a model resolver that selects a more capable model during
+high-error hours (17:00-22:00) and the default model otherwise.
+
+Usage:

+    python3 scripts/time-aware-model-router.py

+

+    python3 scripts/time-aware-model-router.py --hour 18
+    # Returns: {"provider": "openrouter", "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"}
+
+    # As a cron job wrapper
+    python3 scripts/time-aware-model-router.py --wrap -- prompt goes here
