start from development_kristof branch
make sure we have all newest changes
then create branch development_cron to further work on

see scheduling capabilities in the schema's

use cron & scheduling intervals
see the job specs

use https://docs.rs/cron_tab/latest/cron_tab/ to do the execution

Implementation Spec for Issue #30: Implement Scheduler

Objective

Implement a scheduler component in zinit_server that reads SchedulePolicy from ActionSpec definitions and automatically creates jobs based on cron expressions and/or interval timers, using the cron_tab crate.

Requirements

Actions with schedule_policy containing a cron expression trigger job creation at specified times
Actions with interval_ms trigger job creation at the specified interval
start_time and end_time respected as scheduling windows
nr_of_instances limits concurrent running jobs from the same action
Scheduler runs as background async task alongside supervisor
New RPC methods: schedule.list, schedule.status
OpenRPC spec updated
CLI command zinit schedules added

Existing Data Model (Already Present)

SchedulePolicy at crates/zinit_lib/src/db/actions/model.rs:336:

nr_of_instances: Option<u8> — max concurrent instances
cron: String — cron expression
interval_ms: u32 — interval-based scheduling
start_time: u32 — window start (Unix epoch, 0=always)
end_time: u32 — window end (Unix epoch, 0=forever)

Files to Modify/Create

File	Action	Purpose
`crates/zinit_lib/Cargo.toml`	Modify	Add `cron_tab` + `chrono` deps
`crates/zinit_server/Cargo.toml`	Modify	Add `cron_tab` + `chrono` deps
`crates/zinit_server/src/scheduler.rs`	Create	Core scheduling loop
`crates/zinit_server/src/lib.rs`	Modify	Register scheduler module
`crates/zinit_server/src/main.rs`	Modify	Spawn scheduler task
`crates/zinit_server/src/rpc/schedule.rs`	Create	RPC handlers
`crates/zinit_server/src/rpc/mod.rs`	Modify	Add dispatch routes
`crates/zinit_server/src/web.rs`	Modify	Add positional_to_named
`crates/zinit_server/openrpc.json`	Modify	Add schedule methods
`crates/zinit_lib/src/db/actions/model.rs`	Modify	Add cron validation
`crates/zinit/src/cli/args.rs`	Modify	Add Schedules command
`crates/zinit/src/cli/commands.rs`	Modify	Add handler

Implementation Plan

Step 1: Add `cron_tab` + `chrono` dependencies

Dependencies: none

Step 2: Add cron validation to `SchedulePolicy`

Validate cron expressions parse correctly
Validate time windows
Add unit tests
Dependencies: Step 1

Step 3: Create Scheduler module (`scheduler.rs`)

Scheduler struct with Arc<ZinitDb>
ScheduleEntry tracking struct
Main async loop polling every 1s
Cron evaluation via cron_tab
Interval evaluation
Job creation for due schedules
Respects nr_of_instances cap
Dependencies: Step 2

Step 4: Register and spawn scheduler in server

Add pub mod scheduler; to lib.rs
Spawn scheduler task in main.rs alongside supervisor
Dependencies: Step 3

Step 5: Add RPC handlers (`schedule.list`, `schedule.status`)

Create rpc/schedule.rs with handlers
Register in rpc/mod.rs dispatch
Add to positional_to_named in web.rs
Dependencies: Step 4

Step 6: Update OpenRPC specification

Add schedule.list and schedule.status methods
Add ScheduleInfo and ScheduleStatus schemas
Dependencies: Step 5

Step 7: Add integration tests

Cron scheduling creates jobs automatically
Interval scheduling creates jobs
nr_of_instances cap works
Time windows respected
Dependencies: Step 4

Step 8: Add CLI command `zinit schedules`

Add Schedules variant to CLI args
Implement handler calling schedule.list RPC
Dependencies: Step 5

Acceptance Criteria

Cron-based scheduling creates jobs at correct times
Interval-based scheduling creates jobs at correct intervals
nr_of_instances limits concurrent jobs
Time windows (start_time/end_time) respected
schedule.list RPC returns all scheduled actions
schedule.status RPC returns detailed info
zinit schedules CLI displays scheduled actions
All existing tests pass
New tests cover scheduling logic
Invalid cron expressions logged and skipped (no crash)

Notes

Uses cron_tab crate as requested
Scheduler only creates jobs (inserts with phase: Pending). Existing supervisor picks them up.
1-second poll interval (sufficient for cron minute-level granularity)
Scheduled jobs tagged with "scheduled" for filtering
No DB schema changes needed — SchedulePolicy already in ActionSpec JSON
