 Runs are recorded in `schedule_runs` and executed through `jobs`.
 
+`internal/scheduler` runs them. A schedule registers a name, a rule read
+from the settings (`scheduler.Daily`, `Weekly` or `WeeklyForNextWeek`, or `DailyAt` for a time read from data) and a
+run function; settings changes reach it through `SettingsService.Subscribe`
+and move the next fire time without a restart. Each fire time has a period
+key (`Rule.PeriodKey`): the local date for a daily rule, the ISO week of the
+fire date for a weekly one, or of the week after for `WeeklyForNextWeek`
+(`plan_draft`). Inserting `schedule_runs(schedule, period_key)` is the claim;
+a period already claimed is skipped, so a period runs at most once and a
+failed run is not retried. A claim that fails is not skipped: the pass is
+repeated every `scheduler.ClaimRetry` until the claim succeeds. A settings
+change is recorded with the instant it was saved, and fire times up to that
+instant follow the old rule and later ones the new, however late the
+scheduler applies it. At boot, and whenever the scheduler wakes late,
+every unclaimed fire time within 24 hours (`scheduler.CatchUpWindow`) is
+processed oldest first, each running once. A most recent fire time that
+passed longer ago is claimed without running (logged as missed) so it
+never runs later; older ones are not looked at. DST
+follows `household.LocalTime`: a skipped time fires later by the gap, a
+repeated time fires once, at its first occurrence.
+
+Each schedule is built by the service that does its work, as a
+`scheduler.Schedule` value, and registered in `cmd/server` before the
+scheduler starts: `suggest.Service.WeeklySchedule()` is `suggestions_weekly`.
+Its run calls `StartScheduledBatch(period.Week)`, which starts the same
+batch and job as `POST /api/v1/suggestions/batches` (`StartBatch(manual)`),
+with the `scheduled` trigger, and returns at once; the batch runs as a job. When a
+batch is already pending or running the period starts none and logs it.
+`plan.Service.DraftSchedule()` is `plan_draft`, keyed by the ISO week
+after the fire date (`scheduler.WeeklyForNextWeek`). Its run calls
+`StartScheduledDraft(period.Week)`, which enqueues the same `draft_week`
+job as `POST /api/v1/plans/{weekStart}/draft` without confirm, so a stored
+draft emits `plan_ready:{weekStart}` from the job and a failed one (e.g.
+`ai_failed`, recorded in `ai_runs`) emits nothing. When the week already
+has a plan, in any status, it enqueues nothing; when a draft of the week
+is already queued or running it joins it. Either way it logs it.
+`plan.Service.ReminderSchedules()` is `day_of_reminder`, two schedules
+of one name. The first is `Daily(reminder_time)`, period `YYYY-MM-DD`,
+and calls `EmitDayOfReminder(period.Date)`. The second has `Key` `start`,
+so its periods are `start:YYYY-MM-DD`, and a `scheduler.DailyAt` rule:
+for each date it reads the plan and fires 15 minutes
+(`plan.StartReminderLead`) before the day's `start_by` (the same
+computation the plan API shows) when the dinner is a crock-pot dinner
+whose `start_by` is earlier than that day's `reminder_time`; its run
+calls `EmitStartReminder(period.Date)`, which checks the same again. A
+date whose week has no plan emits neither and logs it. A `DailyAt` fire
+time is looked up from the data on every pass. A committed change that
+can move a `start_by` calls `Scheduler.Wake` (passed to `plan.NewService`
+and `dinners.NewService` as `wake`): a plan swap or stored draft, and a
+dinner's method or minutes changed by edit or grounding. The next pass
+comes at once, so a crock-pot dinner swapped in for tonight is still
+reminded 15 minutes before its `start_by`, not at the next hourly timer
+(`maxWait`); a lookup that fails is logged and repeated every
+`ClaimRetry`.
+`shopping.Service.ChatAutosendSchedule()` is `shopping_chat_autosend`,
+`WeeklyForNextWeek(chat_autosend_dow, chat_autosend_time)`, so its period
+names the coming week. Its run calls `Autosend(period.Week)`, which posts
+with `SendToChat(week, false)`, the household's own send, only when a
+webhook is stored, `list_ready`'s Chat channel is on
+(`notify.Service.ChannelOn`) and the week has a Supply run neither sent
+nor with a send unconfirmed; otherwise it posts nothing and logs why,
+with the key `list_ready:chat:{weekStart}`. It never resends; a send that
+fails is the period's error. `shopping.Service.RolloverSchedule()` is
+`week_rollover`, `Weekly(Monday, 00:05)`; its run freezes the week before
+the fire date's, and a week with no Supply run freezes nothing and logs
+it. `plan.Service.RotationCheckSchedule()` is `rotation_check`,
+`Daily(review_time)`, claimed as `rotation_check:YYYY-MM-DD` of the fire
+date (`Schedule.PeriodKey`). Its run calls `MarkTried` for the day before
+the fire date, which emits one `rotation_review` per Rotation check it
+opens; it never makes a dinner a Regular, and a day with no Quest log
+dinner planned opens none and logs the count.
+`harness.PurgeSchedule(store, logger)` is `ai_runs_purge`,
+`Daily(03:00)`, deleting rows created more than 30 days before the fire
+time.
+Fake-clock tests of a schedule live in `internal/scheduler`, where
+`SetClock` is visible to tests.

+// Package scheduler runs the household's timed work: each registered
+// schedule fires once per period at a household-local time read from the
+// household settings.
+//
+// # Periods and the claim
+//
+// Every fire time belongs to one period, named by a period key derived in
+// the household zone from the schedule's cadence (see Rule.PeriodKey): the
+// local date "2026-10-09" for a daily rule, and the ISO week "2026-W41" of
+// the fire date, or of the week after it, for a weekly rule. Before running,
+// the scheduler inserts schedule_runs(schedule, period_key); the insert is
+// the claim, and a period already claimed, by an earlier run, an earlier
+// process or another instance, is skipped. A period therefore runs at most
+// once: a Run that fails is logged and its period is not retried.
+//
+// # Catch-up
+//
+// When the scheduler starts, and whenever it wakes late, it handles, oldest
+// first, every fire time of each schedule that passed within CatchUpWindow,
+// and the most recent fire time even when it passed longer ago. Each
+// unclaimed period within CatchUpWindow runs once. A most recent one that
+// passed longer ago is claimed without running and logged as missed, so it
+// can never run later, not after a restart and not after a settings change
+// moves the fire time. Other fire times older than CatchUpWindow are never
+// looked at.
+//
+// # Claim failures
+//
+// A claim that fails (the database refused the insert) is never skipped:
+// the scheduler logs it and keeps that period's fire time, and every
+// ClaimRetry claims that same period again until the claim succeeds. Only
+// then does it apply the catch-up rule to it, running it if its fire time
+// is within CatchUpWindow of the successful claim and recording it as
+// missed otherwise, and only then does it go on to later fire times, even
+// when one has passed meanwhile. Each period is claimed by its own fire
+// time, so the later period runs once as well.
+//
+// # Time zone and DST
+//
+// Fire times are wall-clock times in the household zone, never the process
+// zone, turned into instants by household.LocalTime. Its rule is the
+// scheduler's DST rule: a time that does not exist on a spring-forward day
+// fires later by the length of the gap (02:30 fires at 03:30 local), and a
+// time that occurs twice on a fall-back day fires once, at its first
+// occurrence. Either way the period key is that local date's, so the
+// period still runs exactly once.
+//
+// # Fire times from data
+//
+// A DailyAt rule fires at a time read from the household's data rather
+// than the settings: its function gives, for each household-local date,
+// the instant the date's period fires, or none. The period is that date
+// even when the instant falls on another day. The scheduler asks again on
+// every pass, and whoever changes that data calls Wake once the change is
+// committed, so the next pass comes at once and a fire time the change
+// moved fires on time rather than up to maxWait late; the claim still runs
+// a period at most once. A lookup that fails is logged and repeated every
+// ClaimRetry, as a failed claim is.
+//
+// # Settings changes
+//
+// The scheduler subscribes to the household settings and records each change
+// with the instant it was saved. A change takes effect at once without a
+// restart: fire times up to that instant follow the old settings and later
+// ones the new, even when the scheduler gets to the change late. So moving
+// a fire time to earlier the same day does not fire the passed time, and a
+// new fire time that was still ahead when the change was saved fires.
