Add scheduled tasks for recurring prompt execution

[Copilot]

Adds a cron-like scheduled tasks system for recurring prompt execution — daily stand-ups, periodic reviews, automated checks, etc.

Model (ScheduledTask.cs)

• Three schedule types: Interval (every N minutes), Daily (at time), Weekly (days + time)
• Schedule calculation via GetNextRunTimeUtc / IsDue with proper UTC↔local handling
• Run history (last 10 entries) with success/error tracking

Service (ScheduledTaskService.cs)

• Background timer evaluates due tasks every 30s with interlocked overlap guard
• Executes by sending prompt to existing session or creating a new one per run
• Persists to ~/.polypilot/scheduled-tasks.json
• Auto-starts on singleton creation via DI

UI (ScheduledTasks.razor)

• Full CRUD page at /scheduled-tasks with form validation
• Task cards: toggle, edit, run-now, delete, last/next run display
• Clock icon added to sidebar nav between Tutorial and Info

Tests (32 tests)

• Model serialization, schedule descriptions, time parsing, due detection
• Service persistence round-trip, CRUD, execution against demo mode, corrupt file handling
• Test isolation via SetTasksFilePathForTesting wired into TestSetup.cs

var task = new ScheduledTask
{
    Name = "Daily Stand-up",
    Prompt = "Summarize yesterday's changes and open PRs",
    Schedule = ScheduleType.Daily,
    TimeOfDay = "09:00",
    DaysOfWeek = new() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
};
taskService.AddTask(task);
// Timer fires every 30s → IsDue() → SendPromptAsync()

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
