Book free T33 47 Tuc retry (749314); defer cra-t8 on quota + hajo conflict

Browse source 
- Session ran early (08:48 UTC, before Cen A 749302's 08:50 UTC start), so this
  round did only the time-sensitive, unblocked work.
- Free T33 47 Tuc retry booked and grid-verified as reservation 749314
  (night of 21 Jul SSO, 00:05-00:50, runs 14:05 UTC). Third attempt: the two
  prior free reservations expired unused, so if this one also fails to run the
  issue is free-scope auto-start, not the booking.
- Cen A (749302) verify deferred: had not run yet; runs 08:50-11:50 UTC.
- cra-t8 (queue #2) deferred, blocked twice: quota held by Cen A until ~11:50
  UTC, AND user hajo holds T8 00:25-02:25 SSO local that night (res 749207),
  overlapping the planned 01:35-04:35 slot. Documented resolution options;
  preferred is slipping cra-t8 one night to 2026-07-23T01:35 to dodge the
  conflict and keep Corona Australis near culmination.
- Scheduled job ae3af497 (~12:13 UTC) will verify Cen A and book cra-t8 against
  a live grid re-check.

The T33 free runs and the T33 first-light test remain outstanding: rebook a free
T33 slot (next window: night of 22 Jul SSO, 00:05-00:50, i.e. 21 Jul ~14:05 UTC)
and investigate why the reschedule flag read "No" in the grid.
The T33 first-light test is now on its THIRD booking (749314); the two prior free
reservations expired unused. If this one also fails to run, the problem is not the
booking but the auto-start on free scopes: escalate to walk-in (POST plan.asp per
plans/README.md) or drop the free-imaging objective.

Quota position after booking 749302 (2026-07-20): held = 749230 (2h20m) +
749302 (3h) = 5h20m of the 8h allowance, ~2h40m free. Queue #2 (cra-t8, 3h,
night of 21 Jul SSO = 22 Jul 01:35 local) does NOT fit until tonight's Cen A
run completes (~11:50 UTC 21 Jul) and releases its 3h. NEXT BOOKING ROUND:
21 Jul around midday UK, book #2 cra-t8 (full 3h) plus the free T33 47 Tuc
retry (00:05-00:50, night of 22 Jul SSO). At corrected (x1.6) rates the full
remaining queue runs ~2,530 vs 2,257 balance (~270 over): once actual bills
### Session 2026-07-21 ~08:55 UTC (booking round run early, before Cen A ran)
Done this session: free T33 47 Tuc retry booked as 749314 (grid-verified). NOT
done, both correctly deferred:
- **Cen A verify**: 749302 had not run yet (starts 08:50 UTC, this session ran at
08:48). Verify after 11:50 UTC.
- **cra-t8 (#2)**: blocked twice over. (1) Quota: Cen A holds 3h until it
completes ~11:50 UTC; with Cat's Paw (2h20m) + Cen A (3h) + T33 (45m) held,
under ~1h55m is free, not enough for a 3h slot. (2) Conflict: user hajo holds
T8 00:25-02:25 SSO local (res 749207), overlapping our planned 01:35-04:35.
**cra-t8 resolution options** (pick with a live grid re-check when quota frees):
- (a) Shift to 02:25-05:25 after hajo. Downside: Corona Australis culminates
~22:30 SSO local, so by 02:25-05:25 it is 4-6.5h past meridian and low; poor.
- (b) PREFERRED: move cra-t8 to the NEXT night, 2026-07-23T01:35-04:35 (night of
22 Jul SSO), same clock time, avoids hajo, keeps decent altitude. Re-check that
night's T8 grid first. One night's slip is fine inside the drain window.
- (c) Earlier slot 21:25-00:25 (before hajo) is astronomically best but starts
11:25 UTC, before Cen A releases quota at 11:50; not bookable in time.
The scheduled 12:13 UTC job (ae3af497) fires after Cen A completes: it should
verify Cen A + bill, then book cra-t8 by option (b) unless the grid has changed
(hajo may cancel, opening option (a)/original). At corrected (x1.6) rates the
full remaining queue runs ~2,530 vs 2,257 balance (~270 over): once actual bills
for Cen A and CrA land, trim Phase 3 (shorten Tarantula #6 or the SMC slot)
to land the balance near zero.
