Set (or STOP) this workspace's standing COMPETITOR WATCH — the weekly job that re-checks each named brand's ad libraries and reports what is NEW since last time. The same watch the web app's Ad Spy ▸ Watching tab manages, and the same one the weekly digest email is sent from (turn that email on/off with update_settings({watchEmail})). This REPLACES the whole watched list, it does not add to it — pass every brand you want watched, every time. Max 5 brands (the server trims past that). Pass an EMPTY list to stop the watch entirely, which also clears the findings. Give a `domain` wherever you know one: Google Ads Transparency is looked up BY DOMAIN and is skipped for a brand without one, and the domain is what resolves the right Meta page for a brand with an ambiguous name. The run itself spends ScrapeCreators credits against the ad libraries (roughly 3 per brand on Meta, 1 each on Google and LinkedIn) and is hard-capped per run server-side, so an oversized watch is trimmed rather than allowed to run away. Setting the list is free; only a run spends. runNow:true runs it once IMMEDIATELY (a background job — it spends now) and then keeps the weekly cadence; leave it off and the first check is a week out. The country and the platform mix are NOT settable here — a re-set inherits whatever the pending run already carried (US / Meta for a watch that has never been configured otherwise). Read the findings back with list_watch_findings.
