 - If the operator asks for ATVM run status without mentioning Mattermost, respond locally only and do not post externally.
 - If the operator asks to send ATVM run status to Mattermost, use `MATTERMOST_ATVM_WEBHOOK` and `MATTERMOST_ATVM_CHANNEL` from `/home/aw/code/cds/.env.credentials.local` by default and send the final status only after the run has fully completed, whether the run passed or failed.
+- Do not call out expected, harmless `systemctl reset-failed ... unit not loaded` output in routine run updates; mention it only if it blocks startup or matters for debugging.
 - Treat `docs/automation/examples.md` as reference-only, not default operator intent.
 - Put reusable workflow rules in `guide.md` files.
 - Put dated lessons only in `run-learnings.md` files.

+## Run Learning: 2026-03-26 (Do not repeat harmless reset-failed watcher noise)
+- Observed requirement:
+  - `systemctl reset-failed atvm-run-watcher@...` often reports that the unit was not loaded.
+  - In normal watcher startup this has been harmless and does not change the run outcome.
+  - Repeating that note in routine run confirmations adds noise without helping the operator.
+- Action for future runs:
+  - Do not mention expected, harmless `reset-failed` output in routine run updates.
+  - Only mention it if it actually prevents watcher startup or becomes relevant to debugging.
