Completes the Automation tab: it could list, toggle, run, log and remove
tasks but not create them, so task creation still meant dropping to the
CLI. Adds add_scheduled_task and update_scheduled_task, plus a task
editor with cron presets and a plain-English reading of the expression.

Every field is free user text, so all of it goes to the scheduler as a
bare argv vector through bollard — no shell, no quoting. Validation is
shape-only rather than metacharacter scrubbing: length caps, no control
characters in single-line fields, no leading-dash name, absolute
working_dir. Verified by round-tripping a prompt containing
`; rm -rf /`, `$(id)`, backticks and newlines: it landed byte-for-byte
in the task JSON with nothing executed.

The scheduler CLI has no `edit`, so update is add-then-remove with the
add first — a rejected edit leaves the original intact. The new id is
surfaced in the editor rather than hidden.

Root-cause fix, and the more serious half of this commit:
triple-c-scheduler never validated --schedule, and rebuild_crontab
regenerates the entire crontab and pipes it to `crontab`, which rejects
the whole file if any line is malformed — with the error thrown away by
`2>/dev/null || true`. A single bad schedule therefore silently
unscheduled every other task in the container while reporting success.
Reproduced directly. It matters because the global CLAUDE.md tells
Claude to drive this CLI, so Claude could trigger it unprompted.

`add` now validates the expression and exits non-zero, and
rebuild_crontab reports a rejected crontab instead of swallowing it,
keeping the offending file for inspection. Verified against the real CLI
in this container: a bad schedule is refused without disturbing an
existing task's crontab entry, and `0 9 * * 1-5`, `*/30 * * * *`,
`0,30 8-17 * * *` and `0 0 1 1 *` are all still accepted. The Rust layer
validates independently, agreeing with vixie cron on 23 probed
expressions including `1/2` and `*/0` being invalid.

121 frontend tests, 44 Rust tests, both builds clean.

3. **An invalid cron expression silently unscheduled every task.** Found while adding
task creation to the Automation tab, and the most serious bug in this review.
`triple-c-scheduler` never validated `--schedule`, and `rebuild_crontab` regenerates the
*entire* crontab and pipes it to `crontab`, which rejects the whole file if any single
line is malformed — with the error discarded by `2>/dev/null || true`. So one bad
schedule silently unscheduled every other task in the container, reporting success.
Reproduced directly. This mattered because the global CLAUDE.md instructs Claude to use
this CLI, so Claude itself could trigger it. Fixed at the root: `add` now validates the
expression and exits non-zero, and `rebuild_crontab` reports a rejected crontab instead
of swallowing it. The Rust `add_scheduled_task` command validates independently.
4. **Silent save failures.** Project config saves on blur; failures go only to
`console.error`. No user-visible indication. Fixed in Phase 3 — `useProjectSave`
now renders a Saved / Saving / Save failed indicator and raises a toast.
4. **Reset was destructive with no confirmation.** It deletes both volumes — the login,
installed skills, all session transcripts — from a single unconfirmed click, while the
comparably destructive Remove already confirmed. Now gated by a dialog that names each
loss. Fixed.

## Known gaps left by Phase 23
- **Editing a scheduled task changes its id.** `triple-c-scheduler` has no `edit`
subcommand, and hand-editing its JSON behind its back would desync the crontab, so edit is
implemented as add-then-remove. The add runs first, so a rejected edit leaves the original
intact. The task gets a new id and its older logs stay under the old one; the editor says
so before saving.
- **`open_terminal_session` takes no command argument.** "Resume session" and
"Manage in terminal" therefore open a bash tab and *type* the command after a
fixed prompt delay. It works, but it is timing-dependent and will misfire on a
