Tyler Yust ab9f06f4ff feat(cron): enhance one-shot job behavior and CLI options
- Default one-shot jobs to delete after success, improving job management.
- Introduced `--keep-after-run` CLI option to allow users to retain one-shot jobs post-execution.
- Updated documentation to clarify default behaviors and new options for one-shot jobs.
- Adjusted cron job creation logic to ensure consistent handling of delete options.
- Enhanced tests to validate new behaviors and ensure reliability.

This update streamlines the handling of one-shot jobs, providing users with more control over job persistence and execution outcomes.

# `openclaw cron`
Manage cron jobs for the Gateway scheduler.
Related:
- Cron jobs: [Cron jobs](/automation/cron-jobs)
Tip: run `openclaw cron --help` for the full command surface.
Note: isolated `cron add` jobs default to `--announce` delivery. Use `--deliver` for full output
or `--no-deliver` to keep output internal. To opt into the legacy main-summary path, pass
`--post-prefix` (or other `--post-*` options) without delivery flags.
Note: one-shot (`--at`) jobs delete after success by default. Use `--keep-after-run` to keep them.
## Common edits
Update delivery settings without changing the message:
```bash
openclaw cron edit <job-id> --announce --channel telegram --to "123456789"
```
Disable delivery for an isolated job:
```bash
openclaw cron edit <job-id> --no-deliver
```
Deliver full output (instead of announce):
```bash
openclaw cron edit <job-id> --deliver --channel slack --to "channel:C1234567890"
```
