#32 Scheduled tasks: run an instruction or recording once or on repeat

[Anonymous]

The job

“Every weekday at 09:00, open github.com/pulls and summarise what’s waiting on my review.” Schedule a task — an instruction, a recording replay or a saved tool — to run once or on repeat on a chosen site, and manage it from the side panel.

Where it stops today

page.startTimer can only be set by the agent and belongs to one conversation. It lives in storage.session, ends when its tab closes, takes relative intervals of up to 24 h, and nothing in the panel shows it.

Proposed shape

• The daemon owns the schedule (~/.browsentic/schedules.json), the clock and a run log. When a task is due, it asks a connected browser to run it. The extension opens a background tab and starts an ordinary session, the same path as Send.
• With no browser connected, the run is logged as missed.
• A Schedules tab in the side panel to create, pause and run tasks now, and to review past runs.

Open questions: how the daemon starts after a reboot (native messaging or login autostart), and what happens to approvals when nobody is watching.

Where it lives

The daemon (store, clock, log), the extension (running the task, Schedules tab) and the socket protocol (new frames, version bump).
