feat(cron): introduce delivery modes for isolated jobs

Browse Source 
- Added support for new delivery modes in cron jobs: `announce`, `deliver`, and `none`.
- Updated documentation to reflect changes in delivery options and usage examples.
- Enhanced the cron job schema to include delivery configuration.
- Refactored related CLI commands and UI components to accommodate the new delivery settings.
- Improved handling of legacy delivery fields for backward compatibility.

This update allows users to choose how output from isolated jobs is delivered, enhancing flexibility in job management.

- **Exact timing**: 5-field cron expressions with timezone support.
- **Session isolation**: Runs in `cron:<jobId>` without polluting main history.
- **Model overrides**: Use a cheaper or more powerful model per job.
- **Delivery control**: Can deliver directly to a channel; still posts a summary to main by default (configurable).
- **Delivery control**: Choose `announce` (summary), `deliver` (full output), or `none`. Legacy jobs still post a summary to main by default.
- **Immediate delivery**: Announce/deliver modes post directly without waiting for heartbeat.
- **No agent context needed**: Runs even if main session is idle or compacted.
- **One-shot support**: `--at` for precise future timestamps.
