feat(cron): Cron Recipes — parameterized automation templates across every surface

A 'recipe' is a one-place definition of an automation that every surface
renders natively. The slot schema (cron/recipe_catalog.py) is the single
source of truth; four renderers consume it, and all paths end at the same
cron.jobs.create_job — no second job engine.

Form where there's a screen, conversation where there's a chat line:
- Dashboard / GUI app: a Recipes sub-tab on the Cron page renders each
  recipe's typed slots as a form (time-picker, enum dropdown, free-text);
  submit POSTs /api/cron/recipes/instantiate which fills + creates the job.
- CLI / TUI / messengers: /cron-recipe lists the catalog, shows a recipe's
  fields, or fills + creates from a pasted 'key slot=val' command. The shared
  handler (hermes_cli/cron_recipe_cmd.py) names any missing/invalid slot so
  the agent can ask a targeted follow-up.
- Docs: a generated Cron Recipes catalog page (website, .mdx + React cards)
  shows each recipe with a copy-paste command and a 'Send to App' button.
- Desktop: a hermes:// URL scheme (Electron single-instance lock +
  setAsDefaultProtocolClient + open-url/second-instance) routes
  hermes://cron-recipe/<key>?slot=val into the chat composer pre-filled.

Typed slots (time/enum/text/weekdays) with defaults: users never type raw
cron — recipes parameterize time-of-day and weekday sets and translate to
cron expressions; a free-text 'schedule' slot is the full-flexibility escape
hatch. Consent-first throughout: nothing schedules without an explicit submit
or send.

Core:
- cron/recipe_catalog.py — CronRecipe + RecipeSlot, 5 curated recipes,
  recipe_form_schema / recipe_slash_command / recipe_deeplink /
  recipe_catalog_entry renderers, fill_recipe (validate + translate to
  create_job kwargs).
- hermes_cli/cron_recipe_cmd.py — shared /cron-recipe handler (CLI + TUI +
  gateway never drift). CommandDef + dispatch in commands.py / cli.py /
  gateway/run.py.

Dashboard: GET /api/cron/recipes + POST /api/cron/recipes/instantiate
(web_server.py), CronRecipes.tsx gallery+form, Segmented sub-tab on CronPage,
api.ts methods + types.

Desktop: hermes:// scheme end to end (main.cjs deep-link router + ready-queue,
preload onDeepLink/signalDeepLinkReady, global.d.ts types, desktop-controller
composer prefill, electron-builder protocols key).

Docs: extract-cron-recipes.py generator wired into prebuild.mjs,
cron-recipes-catalog.mdx + CronRecipesCatalog React component, sidebar entry.
Generated index json gitignored like skills.json.

Tests: 23 core (catalog/slots/schedule-resolution/validation/renderers/command
handler/generator) + 5 web_server endpoint tests. E2E verified end to end:
slot fill -> create_job -> persisted job with correct schedule/deliver/origin.

"""Shared ``/cron-recipe`` command logic for CLI, TUI, and gateway.
The conversational counterpart to the dashboard's Cron Recipes form. Where a
surface has a screen, the user fills a form (dashboard / GUI app) and the API
calls ``fill_recipe`` -> ``create_job`` directly. Where a surface is just a
chat line, the user pastes a pre-filled slash command and this handler
parses it; any missing or invalid slot is reported so the agent can ask.
Subcommand shapes:
/cron-recipe list the catalog (numbered + copy commands)
/cron-recipe <key> show that recipe's slots + a ready command
/cron-recipe <key> slot=val fill + create the cron job
Parsing is shlex-based so quoted free-text values (``criteria="from my boss"``)
survive. On a fill error the message names the slot, which is exactly what the
agent needs to ask a targeted follow-up rather than re-prompting everything.
