 - Proper timezone handling (local time, not UTC)
 - Testability (mock time in one place)
 - Future time-travel feature support
+
+TIMER ARCHITECTURE:
+
+This integration uses three distinct timer mechanisms:
+
+1. **Timer #1: API Polling (DataUpdateCoordinator)**
+   - Runs every 15 minutes at a RANDOM offset (e.g., 10:04:37, 10:19:37, 10:34:37)
+   - Offset determined by when last API call completed
+   - Tracked via _last_coordinator_update for next poll prediction
+   - NO tolerance needed - offset variation is INTENTIONAL
+   - Purpose: Spread API load, avoid thundering herd problem
+
+2. **Timer #2: Entity Updates (quarter-hour boundaries)**
+   - Must trigger at EXACT boundaries (00, 15, 30, 45 minutes)
+   - Uses _BOUNDARY_TOLERANCE_SECONDS for HA scheduling jitter correction
+   - Scheduled via async_track_utc_time_change(minute=[0,15,30,45], second=0)
+   - If HA triggers at 15:00:01 → round to 15:00:00 (within ±2s tolerance)
+   - Purpose: Entity state updates reflect correct quarter-hour interval
+
+3. **Timer #3: Timing Sensors (30-second boundaries)**
+   - Must trigger at EXACT boundaries (0, 30 seconds)
+   - Uses _BOUNDARY_TOLERANCE_SECONDS for HA scheduling jitter correction
+   - Scheduled via async_track_utc_time_change(second=[0,30])
+   - Purpose: Update countdown/time-to sensors
+
+CRITICAL: The tolerance is ONLY for Timer #2 and #3 to correct HA's
+scheduling delays. It is NOT used for Timer #1's offset tracking.
