Workflow

Step 1-3: Data Collection

CRITICAL FORMAT RULES — the website parser depends on exact formatting:

Price values: plain numbers, NO markdown bold **, NO tilde ~. Example: $115.27/bbl not **~$115.27/bbl**
VLCC rate: use K suffix. Example: $423K/day not $423,000/day
All summary fields (新事件, 伊朗立场, 西方动态, 外交动态, 保险, Flash触发) MUST be written in Chinese
Keep each summary field to ONE concise sentence (≤80 characters). Put detailed analysis in a sub-bullet if needed.
Do NOT use markdown bold ** anywhere in field values

  - Vessels: 11/day vs prior 4-7/day = 57-175% increase
  - No ceasefire/breakthrough

Step 5: Trim Old Entries

If MONITOR_LOG.md has entries older than 7 days, remove them.

Step 6: Flash Alert Check

Oil moved >5% since last entry? → FLASH
Vessel count changed >50%? → FLASH
Ceasefire/breakthrough/major attack detected? → FLASH
Brent crossed $100 or $75? → FLASH

If FLASH: send immediate alert. If no FLASH: send brief summary.

Step 7: Update Website Data

After writing MONITOR_LOG.md, run this command to update the website:

exec command: bash ~/hormuz-website/scripts/update_and_deploy.sh

This parses MONITOR_LOG.md into data.json and pushes to GitHub. Vercel auto-deploys on push. If the script fails, log the error but do not retry — the website will show the previous data until next cycle.
