  "description": "The **bare-cron** bare-initd unit runs a bounded in-process scheduler: classic five-field lines, **@reboot**, optional **JitterSec=**, and systemd-inspired timer drop-ins (**OnCalendar=**, **EveryMs=**, **OnInactiveSec=**, **Persistent=**). Jobs execute through **ctx.execLine**; errors may be logged under **/var/log/bare-os/cron.log** when configured. This is not full **cron**(8) or **systemd.timer**(5) parity.",
