+Rockachopa Priority Watcher
+
+Never ignore Alexander (Rockachopa) on Gitea.
+
+Scans all accessible repos for:
+1. New comments by Rockachopa
+2. New comments containing @Timmy mentions
+
+Tracks seen comment IDs in a local JSON state file to avoid duplicate alerts.
+Designed to run from cron every 3-5 minutes.
