Conversation
Propose config-driven [[cronjobs]] in config.toml as Phase 1 for scheduled message support. Covers cron expression evaluation, session injection, failure handling, and Helm mapping. Explicitly out of scope: agent self-configuration, retries, conditional logic, DAGs (deferred to external schedulers).

Summary
Proposes config-driven
[[cronjobs]]inconfig.tomlas Phase 1 for scheduled message support in OAB.Motivation
Users want simple recurring prompts (daily summaries, weekly reports) without setting up external infrastructure. At the same time, we want to avoid the "in-app cronjob" pattern (agent self-configuring cron) which has known opacity and reliability issues.
Design
config.tomlExplicitly Out of Scope
Complex use cases should use external schedulers (K8s CronJob, GitHub Actions).
