Watch out for

Timezone mismatches can cause incorrect urgency calculations so always normalize dates to UTC before processing.
Gmail API quotas may be exceeded during bulk alerts so implement a small delay between email sends.
Slack message formatting breaks if special characters are not escaped properly so sanitize all input strings.
Webhook retries can duplicate entries in Google Sheets so add a unique ID check to prevent duplicate logging.
