There are automatic update cycles. The whole design hinges upon us not
having to do any manual intervention.

In a nutshell, we fetch all the recipes for OOTs on a regular basis, run
our CGRAN codes against that, and update the page.

As an OOT maintainer, there's nothing you need to do except wait a few
hours tops.
