jschoubben 76ecbaed85 lab: a scheduled container fires on its cadence without gating (ADR 0053)
The bed that proves the scheduled-container primitive end to end. schedtest
is the thinnest carrier of ADR 0053: one container marked
schedule: "* * * * *" that appends a timestamp to a mounted data dir each
time the host fires it -- no service, no listener, no provisioner, no
runtime, no tools, no events.

The three claims it proves, from the ADR's "How each claim is checked":
installing the schedule leaves the node current WITHOUT a run (baseline
captured right after settled, the deliberate inversion of run-once); the
container fires on its cadence (a line beyond the baseline within ~150s);
and it recurs (a second line on the next minute -- cadence, not a one-shot).

schedtest serves and consumes nothing and carries no runtime, so it is not
issued a broker account: module add -> assign -> one push is the whole
sequence, no module issue. The tick image is a bare alpine served by the
scenario's registry by digest.

# One machine that becomes a mesh and is then assigned schedtest — the bed that proves the
# scheduled-container primitive (novox/hq ADR 0053) end to end.
#
# schedtest is the thinnest possible carrier of the ADR's claim: no service, no listener, no
# provisioner, no runtime, no tools, no events — just a `container` marked `schedule: "* * * * *"`
# that appends a timestamp line to a file in a mounted data directory each time the host fires it.
# It is the recurring twin of the run-once bed (catalogue-mqtt), with the gating rule deliberately
# reversed: installing the schedule must NOT run the container and must NOT gate convergence — the
# node reports current as soon as the schedule is state that is present, and the clock (not the
# apply) fires the runs thereafter.
#
# The sharp points this bed proves, straight from ADR 0053 "How each claim is checked":
# - installing it does not run it, and the node is current WITHOUT a run;
# - the container fires when the cron is due (top of the next minute);
# - it fires AGAIN on the following minute — recurrence, not a one-shot.
