+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"enabled": false}'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Publishing events to the Event Router
+
+The Event Router subscribes to the `activity.>` NATS subject on the `ACTIVITY_EVENTS` stream.
+
+```python
+import asyncio, json, nats
+from datetime import datetime, timezone
+import uuid
+
+async def publish():
+    nc = await nats.connect("nats://localhost:4222")
+    js = nc.jetstream()
+    envelope = {
+        "event_id": str(uuid.uuid4()),
+        "type": "user.created",
+        "source": "user-service",
+        "occurred_at": datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc).isoformat(),
+        "subject": "user/42",
+        "trace_id": str(uuid.uuid4()),
+        "payload": {"tier": "pro", "region": "eu"},
+    }
+    await js.publish("activity.user.created", json.dumps(envelope).encode())
+    await nc.drain()
+
+asyncio.run(publish())
+```
+
+---
+
+## Syncing schedules manually
+
+```bash
+TEMPORAL_HOST=localhost:7233 \
+ACTCORE_DB_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://actcore:actcore@localhost:5433/actcore \
+  uv run python -m activity_core.sync_schedules
+```
+
+This reconciles all Temporal Schedules with the `activity_definitions` table:
+- Upserts schedules for every enabled cron definition
+- Creates paused schedules for disabled cron definitions
+- Deletes orphaned schedules with no matching DB row
+
+---
+
+## Temporal UI — filtering by activity
+
+With search attributes registered, you can filter in the Temporal Web UI:
+```
+ActivityId = "your-activity-uuid"
+```
+
+Or via `tctl`:
+```bash
+docker exec temporal-admin-tools temporal workflow list \
+  --query 'ActivityId="<uuid>"' \
+  --address temporal:7233
+```
+
+---
+
+## Scale-out
+
+### Multiple worker replicas
+
+Temporal workers are stateless and horizontally scalable. Run additional worker
+processes to increase throughput on `orchestrator-tq` and `task-execution-tq`.
+
+Each worker registers the same workflows/activities — Temporal distributes tasks
+across all pollers automatically.
+
+**Important:** Only one process should call `sync_schedules` at startup to avoid
+race conditions. Consider disabling the startup sync on secondary worker replicas
+via an env var:
+
+```bash
+SKIP_SCHEDULE_SYNC=true uv run python -m activity_core.worker
+```
+
+(Implement the `SKIP_SCHEDULE_SYNC` check in `worker.py` when needed.)
+
+### Multiple Event Router replicas
+
+The durable NATS consumer (`activity-core-event-router`) ensures that only one
+subscriber processes each message. Running multiple `event_router` processes with
+the same durable consumer name provides automatic failover.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Worker fails to start: "ACTCORE_DB_URL is required"
+Set the environment variable before running the worker.
+
+### Schedule not firing
+1. Check Temporal UI → Schedules tab for the schedule status.
+2. Ensure `enabled=True` on the ActivityDefinition (paused schedules don't fire).
+3. Verify the cron expression with: `docker exec temporal-admin-tools temporal schedule describe --schedule-id activity-schedule-<uuid>`
+
+### Event not routing
+1. Check NATS monitoring: http://localhost:8222/jsz to verify the `ACTIVITY_EVENTS` stream exists.
+2. Verify the consumer is active: http://localhost:8222/jsz?consumers=true
+3. Check Event Router logs for "matched no definitions" — the event type may not match any enabled ActivityDefinition.
+4. Check `trigger_config.filters` — all key/value pairs must match the event payload exactly.
+
+### Workflow stuck / not completing
+1. Open Temporal UI → find the workflow by ID or ActivityId search attribute.
+2. Check the workflow history for failed activities.
+3. Common causes:
+   - DB connection lost during `load_activity_definition` or `log_run`
+   - Activity retry exhausted (check `maximum_attempts=10`)
+   - `ActivityDefinition` row was deleted while workflow was running
+
+### Prometheus metrics not appearing
+1. Confirm the worker is running with `PROMETHEUS_BIND_ADDR` set.
+2. `curl http://localhost:9090/metrics` should return Temporal SDK metrics.
+3. If port 9090 conflicts with Prometheus server, set `PROMETHEUS_BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0:9091`.
+
+### DB migration drift
+```bash
+uv run alembic current    # show current revision
+uv run alembic upgrade head  # apply pending migrations
+uv run alembic history    # show full migration history
+```
+
+---
+
+## Wipe and restart dev stack
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down -v   # removes all volumes
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
+uv run alembic upgrade head
+uv run python src/activity_core/seed.py
+# Re-register search attributes (see Dev environment step 4)
+```
