Add scheduled jobs (crons)

Define recurring jobs in convex/crons.ts targeting internal functions, with sane intervals and idempotent handlers.

Workflow

  1. Create convex/crons.ts with cronJobs().
  2. Schedule internal functions (never public api.*) at the right interval.
  3. Make handlers idempotent (safe to re-run); keep each run small.
  4. Verify the job appears in the dashboard schedule.

Rules

  • Schedule internal.* functions, never api.*.
  • Keep cron handlers small + idempotent.
  • Don't poll tight intervals for things a subscription can push.
