Cron/scheduled task management

Objective​

Add scheduled task management. Appliances need recurring maintenance operations (log rotation, backups, health checks) managed via API.

API Endpoints​

GET    /schedule             - List scheduled tasks (cron + systemd timers)
GET    /schedule/{id}        - Get schedule details
POST   /schedule             - Create scheduled task
PUT    /schedule/{id}        - Update schedule
DELETE /schedule/{id}        - Delete scheduled task

Operations​

  • schedule.list.get, schedule.status.get (query)
  • schedule.create, schedule.update, schedule.delete (modify)

Provider​

  • internal/provider/node/schedule/
  • Parse crontab files and systemd-timer units
  • Support cron expression syntax for scheduling
  • Return type: ScheduleInfo with ID, expression, command, user, next run, last run, enabled

Notes​

  • Architecture.md already lists "Scheduled Jobs" as a future enhancement
  • Could also integrate with the NATS job system for scheduled job submission
  • Scopes: schedule:read, schedule:write
