cortex jobs
Manage scheduled cron jobs that run on the daemon scheduler. Jobs are persisted in SQLite with retry logic and status tracking.

Scheduler Behavior
- The scheduler daemon polls the database for due jobs
- On failure, jobs are retried with configurable backoff
- Execution history is logged for audit
- Memory consolidation can be scheduled as a recurring job
- CRON jobs auto-reschedule after completion
