Bots tell you when something needs you

+- Bots now check in on their own and tell a person when something needs them (below). It is on by
+  default for every Bot a person has talked to. Migrations `0071_proactive_check_ins` and
+  `0072_check_in_read_labels` add its tables. Admin → Check-ins turns it off for everyone.
 - Migration `0070_memory_dedup_per_bot` rebuilds one unique index on `personal_memories` to include
   the Bot that formed the memory (below). It keeps every row. While it rolls out, a server still on
   the previous release fails to save a newly formed Bot memory until it is replaced; nothing else is
   affected.
 
+### Bots tell you when something needs you
+
+A Bot a person has talked to now checks what that person connected (any app or server they
+connected with their own account), quietly and at most once an hour, and only reads. When it finds
+something that needs the person, it says why and where it came from, and the person hears about it
+at most once an hour, with every Bot's items in one message: in the app (Needs you, a badge and a
+browser notification), by phone push, and on Slack, Teams or SMS where the person already talks to
+a Bot. Nothing is sent when nothing needs them. Start turns an item into a task that asks before
+every send or change; Hide keeps it from coming back for 30 days. A person turns it off in Settings
+→ Notifications and chooses where these go under "Something needs you"; an admin turns it off for
+everyone, changes the daily limit (24 check-ins per Bot) and sees how often items are started under
+Admin → Check-ins.

 ### Each Bot keeps a fact it formed, even when another Bot formed it first
 
 A memory a Bot forms from what it read was deduplicated per person, but each Bot recalls only the
