Policy Rules
What quiet hours must define
- Quiet window by channel (LINE / WhatsApp / Instagram)
- Allowed: emergency triage, same-day surgery logistics
- Paused: promos, review asks, ghost-lead revival, deposit chase
- Auto-reply that states reopen time + emergency path
- Stop-rules: no marketing “exceptions” that become every night
