Walkthrough

Documentation updates to clarify execution behavior and provide developer guidance. The changes include clarification that delayed runs execute using the currently deployed version when execution starts, not the version active at enqueue time. Additional guidance notes were added regarding Date object serialization in payloads, recommending passing Date objects directly with SDK handling serialization, or converting to ISO strings if manually stringifying. A regional note was added indicating static IP addresses availability for paid plans. These changes span two documentation files with 11 net lines added.

🔇 Additional comments (4)

docs/triggering.mdx (3)

710-712: LGTM! Clear clarification of delayed run versioning behavior.

This addition helpfully disambiguates the versioning semantics for delayed runs, which is a common source of confusion. The note aligns consistently with the related addition in docs/versioning.mdx.

---

737-741: LGTM! Helpful Date serialization guidance.

This note addresses a practical pitfall developers encounter when manually stringifying payloads containing Date objects. The guidance to either pass Date objects directly (letting the SDK handle serialization) or explicitly convert to ISO strings is clear and actionable.

---

1058-1058: LGTM! Useful addition about static IP availability.

Concise mention of static IP availability for paid plans directs users to the appropriate dashboard page.

docs/versioning.mdx (1)

27-28: LGTM! Consistent with triggering.mdx clarification.

This note complements the version locking section well and is consistent with the corresponding clarification in docs/triggering.mdx. The phrasing clearly distinguishes between enqueue time and execution start time.
