π― Use case
This module implements the βScheduleCronToolβ tool (Schedule Cron) β something the model can call at runtime alongside other agent tools. On the API surface it exposes DEFAULT_MAX_AGE_DAYS, isKairosCronEnabled, isDurableCronEnabled, CRON_CREATE_TOOL_NAME, and CRON_DELETE_TOOL_NAME (and more) β mainly functions, hooks, or classes. Dependencies touch bun:bundle. It composes internal code from services and utils (relative imports).
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.

/**
* Unified gate for the cron scheduling system. Combines the build-time
* `feature('AGENT_TRIGGERS')` flag (dead code elimination) with the runtime
* `tengu_kairos_cron` GrowthBook gate on a 5-minute refresh window.
*
* AGENT_TRIGGERS is independently shippable from KAIROS β the cron module
* graph (cronScheduler/cronTasks/cronTasksLock/cron.ts + the three tools +
* /loop skill) has zero imports into src/assistant/ and no feature('KAIROS')
* calls. The REPL.tsx kairosEnabled read is safe:
* kairosEnabled is unconditionally in AppStateStore with default false, so
* when KAIROS is off the scheduler just gets assistantMode: false.
*
* Called from Tool.isEnabled() (lazy, post-init) and inside useEffect /
* imperative setup, never at module scope β so the disk cache has had a
* chance to populate.
*
* The default is `true` β /loop is GA (announced in changelog). GrowthBook
* is disabled for Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry and when DISABLE_TELEMETRY /
* CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC are set; a `false` default would
* break /loop for those users (GH #31759). The GB gate now serves purely as
* a fleet-wide kill switch β flipping it to `false` stops already-running
* schedulers on their next isKilled poll tick, not just new ones.
*
* `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON` is a local override that wins over GB.

return `Schedule a prompt to be enqueued at a future time. Use for both recurring schedules and one-shot reminders.
Uses standard 5-field cron in the user's local timezone: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week. "0 9 * * *" means 9am local β no timezone conversion needed.
## One-shot tasks (recurring: false)
For "remind me at X" or "at <time>, do Y" requests β fire once then auto-delete.
Pin minute/hour/day-of-month/month to specific values:
"remind me at 2:30pm today to check the deploy" β cron: "30 14 <today_dom> <today_month> *", recurring: false
"tomorrow morning, run the smoke test" β cron: "57 8 <tomorrow_dom> <tomorrow_month> *", recurring: false
## Recurring jobs (recurring: true, the default)
For "every N minutes" / "every hour" / "weekdays at 9am" requests:
"*/5 * * * *" (every 5 min), "0 * * * *" (hourly), "0 9 * * 1-5" (weekdays at 9am local)
## Avoid the :00 and :30 minute marks when the task allows it
Every user who asks for "9am" gets \`0 9\`, and every user who asks for "hourly" gets \`0 *\` β which means requests from across the planet land on the API at the same instant. When the user's request is approximate, pick a minute that is NOT 0 or 30:
"every morning around 9" β "57 8 * * *" or "3 9 * * *" (not "0 9 * * *")
"hourly" β "7 * * * *" (not "0 * * * *")
"in an hour or so, remind me to..." β pick whatever minute you land on, don't round
Only use minute 0 or 30 when the user names that exact time and clearly means it ("at 9:00 sharp", "at half past", coordinating with a meeting). When in doubt, nudge a few minutes early or late β the user will not notice, and the fleet will.
${durabilitySection}
## Runtime behavior
Jobs only fire while the REPL is idle (not mid-query). ${durableRuntimeNote}The scheduler adds a small deterministic jitter on top of whatever you pick: recurring tasks fire up to 10% of their period late (max 15 min); one-shot tasks landing on :00 or :30 fire up to 90 s early. Picking an off-minute is still the bigger lever.
Recurring tasks auto-expire after ${DEFAULT_MAX_AGE_DAYS} days β they fire one final time, then are deleted. This bounds session lifetime. Tell the user about the ${DEFAULT_MAX_AGE_DAYS}-day limit when scheduling recurring jobs.
Returns a job ID you can pass to ${CRON_DELETE_TOOL_NAME}.`
