The real script is `nightly-run.sh` (not `yoyo-daily-cycle.sh` — the same naming drift already flagged on [[spot-vm-lifecycle-kill-switch]]), and it runs a **two-phase** cycle, not eight: Phase 1 (DataGraph rebuild) and Phase 2 (Training), each with an independently configurable budget defaulting to `DATAGRAPH_SECONDS=7200` and `TRAINING_SECONDS=7200` — **2 hours each, roughly 4 hours total**, not the 45-minute cap this article's Budget and cost section is built around. This matches the already-verified 2-phase structure described in [[elastic-compute-lora-training-pipeline]] (task-verified earlier this pass) — that article's Phase 1/Phase 2 framing is the accurate one; this article's eight-phase, 45-minute framing appears to describe an earlier or different design. Zone (`us-central1-a`, confirmed via `SLM_YOYO_GCP_ZONE` default in the real script) and VM type/kill-switch path are independently accurate and not in dispute. **The cost figures below ($0.53/cycle, ~$16/month) are downstream of the wrong 45-minute assumption** — at the real ~4-hour cycle length and the same $0.71/hour rate, the actual cost would be roughly 6x higher. **Flagged, not silently rewritten** — the eight named phases below may map loosely onto sub-steps within the real two-phase script, but that mapping has not been verified; needs project-totebox confirmation before this section and the cost table are corrected. The cycle is a single Bash script (`yoyo-daily-cycle.sh`) that executes eight sequential phases. The script writes a timestamped log file for each run.
