+"""HTTP routes for chat watches (automations bound to a chat thread).
+
+A watch is an automation whose plan re-posts a question into a chat on a
+schedule. These routes let the chat UI show watch state and controls:
+
+* ``GET /automations/watches`` — the watches bound to a thread (is-watched + list).
+* ``POST /automations/{automation_id}/run`` — run a watch now (manual refresh).
+
+Stopping a watch is a plain ``DELETE /automations/{automation_id}``.
