 /**
  * One trigger row in the Triggers section of the detail page. Renders:
  *   - type icon + human-readable schedule + timezone
  *   - last_fired_at / next_fire_at hints
  *   - static_inputs as formatted JSON (when present)
- *   - enable toggle + remove button (each gated independently)
+ *   - enable toggle + remove button + inline edit (each gated independently)
  *
- * Editing params (cron, timezone, static_inputs) lives behind the future
- * raw-JSON path; this card stays read-only-except-for-toggle for v1.
+ * Inline edit covers ``params`` and ``static_inputs`` — the two fields the
+ * backend ``PATCH /triggers/[id]`` endpoint accepts beyond ``enabled``.
+ * ``enabled`` stays on the Switch so the two surfaces don't fight.
