+///     Drives one or more <see cref="ScheduledRecycleScheduler"/> instances on a fixed tick

+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+///     <para>Registered as a singleton in Program.cs. Each Tier C driver instance that wants a
+///     scheduled recycle registers its scheduler via
+///     <see cref="AddScheduler(ScheduledRecycleScheduler)"/> at startup. The hosted service
+///     wakes every <see cref="TickInterval"/> (default 1 min) and calls
+///     <see cref="ScheduledRecycleScheduler.TickAsync"/> on each registered scheduler.</para>
+///
+///     <para>Scheduler registration is closed after <see cref="ExecuteAsync"/> starts — callers
+///     must register before the host starts, typically during DI setup. Adding a scheduler
+///     mid-flight throws to avoid confusing "some ticks saw my scheduler, some didn't" races.</para>
