You were absolutely right about the inter-process issue with DiscourseEvent - thank you for that clarification!

After your feedback, we tested properly with a simple `send_chat_message` automation using the same `post_created_edited` trigger. When we edited a post, **the automation DID trigger** (we saw it processing in the logs and got a 500 error due to misconfiguration of the chat settings, not the trigger itself).

This confirms: **The `post_created_edited` trigger works correctly.**

Our confusion came from:

1. Testing with a Rails console listener (wrong - inter-process)
2. Our custom PDF scriptable was lost during a rebuild and we were having trouble re-registering it persistently

The trigger mechanism itself is functioning as expected. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for the help!
