+"""Disable RLS on automation tables (written at startup without tenant context).
+
+The automation plugin registers cron jobs and definitions during plugin
+activation, which happens at startup before a tenant context is set.
+RLS blocks these INSERTs because app.current_tenant_id is a dummy default.
