Added

  • Every scheduled job on a host generated from one tab-separated table,
    one line per job, with the columns being the decisions: the schedule, whether
    a missed run is caught up, and what is actually executed.
  • Nothing is written until every line has been checked. An OnCalendar
    expression systemd cannot parse installs cleanly and then never fires — no
    error, no log line, and nothing to distinguish it from a job whose time has
    not come. Every expression goes through systemd-analyze calendar first.
  • All of the table or none of it. One bad line stops the run before a
    single file is written, because a run that installs eleven jobs and dies on
    the twelfth leaves a host in a state nobody chose.
  • The command is checked too, for existence and the executable bit. A timer
    pointing at a path that moved fails once a day in silence.
  • A typo in the persistent column is an error, not a no. Read as no,
    it is a nightly backup that quietly stops catching up after a reboot.
  • Every generated service is bounded by TimeoutStartSec, so a job that
    hangs fails its unit and appears in systemctl --failed rather than running
    until somebody notices.
  • Twelve end-to-end scenarios, most of them refusals, each given a table
    broken in exactly one way — and a check that systemd-analyze verify accepts
    what the generator emits, because being right about the table and still
    emitting something systemd will not load would break every schedule at once.
