Add scrontab-based flowcell watchdog script#87
Merged
Conversation
Replaces the self-chaining wait_for_copycomplete.sh approach with a scrontab job that scans for recently-completed flowcells hourly and auto-launches setup/processing when CopyComplete.txt appears. Fixes the silent chain-death failure mode that caused flowcell 23K3FVLT3 to miss auto-processing (SE-5098). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes #85.
Once merged, we'll want to create a scrontab entry as solexa (
scrontab -e) to run this script periodically.
