SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Uplink cadence machine for the rover. It manages CronCreate and CronDelete, applies exponential backoff when the field goes quiet, auto-stops after sustained standby, and restores cron state after a session restart. It is not user-invocable; it is loaded by rover, wake, and stop.

Core Features & Use Cases

CronCreate / CronDelete lifecycle management to keep the rover's loop firing at an appropriate cadence.
Exponential backoff and auto-stop logic that slows or halts cron activity during idle periods, then restores on new input.
Session restoration and per-loop durability to recover cron state after Claude sessions restart.

Quick Start

Initialize the cron system by creating the first CronCreate for the active loop and writing the initial cron_job_id to the loop state.

FAQPage Schema

How do I manage cron scheduling for autonomous rover loops?▼

Cron scheduling for autonomous rover loops is managed through CronCreate and CronDelete lifecycle operations that maintain appropriate firing cadence. The system enforces durable loop state and safety guards to ensure timely checks during standby-heavy missions.

How does exponential backoff work during idle rover missions?▼

Exponential backoff during idle rover missions slows cron activity when the field goes quiet, applying threshold-based safety guards. It halts scheduling after sustained standby periods and restores normal cadence upon receiving new input.

Can I restore cron state after a session restart?▼

Yes, cron state can be restored after a session restart using per-loop durability and session restoration logic. This recovers the active cron_job_id from the loop state to resume scheduling without losing progress.

What is the best way to auto-stop cron activity during sustained standby?▼

The best way to auto-stop cron activity during sustained standby is through exponential backoff thresholds with safety guards. This logic automatically halts CronCreate cycles to prevent unnecessary firing when rover input remains quiet.

Do I need a wake cycle to initialize cron scheduling for a rover loop?▼

Initialization requires creating the first CronCreate for the active loop and writing the initial cron_job_id to the loop state. The system is loaded by rover, wake, and stop cycles rather than being user-invocable directly.
