Something a model could not do, and so wrote a note about instead

Asked to remind somebody every Monday, a model looked down its tool list, found
notes_create described as "something worth having in a later conversation" and
memory_add beginning with the word Remember, wrote a note, and reported that it
had scheduled something. Every screen agreed with it. There was no scheduling
tool at all -- the near-misses were the only thing there was to reach for, and
nothing anywhere said the thing it was being asked for existed.

The seam had been left open on purpose: Schedule.origin has defined
ORIGIN_MODEL, with no writer, since scheduling shipped, and services/schedules.py
says in its first line that it holds what the routes *and the tools* both need.
This is the tool that was meant to go through it.

Four of them, and a thin layer: rule.validate is still the one total normaliser
the form and the compile share, schedules.create still writes the row and the
task chat together, and rule.describe still says what came out. A second dialect
for models would mean two definitions of "every other Tuesday" and one of them
going quietly wrong.

The result is that description, never "done". A schedule is invisible until it
fires, which may be days away, so the sentence in the reply is the only moment
anybody can check that Monday was read as Monday -- and the tool says so, in the
text the model reads back. The list badges the ones nobody typed.

Gated on schedule.use rather than a permission of its own: somebody who may set
one up by hand may say so to a model instead, and a second checkbox beside the
first would only ever be answered "the same as that one".

"""Scheduling, as something a model can do rather than only a person.
## Why this exists
It did not, and that was the bug. Asked to "remind me every Monday at noon", a
model looked down its tool list, found `notes_create` described as *"something
worth having in a later conversation"* and `memory_add` beginning with the word
*Remember*, wrote a note, and reported that it had scheduled something. Nothing
in the list said scheduling existed; nothing said it did not. The near-misses
were the only thing to reach for.
No prompt fixes that. The seam had been left open on purpose --
`Schedule.origin` has defined `ORIGIN_MODEL` since the feature landed, with no
writer, and `services/schedules.py` says in its first line that it holds "what
the routes **and the tools** both need" -- and this is the tool that was meant
to go through it.
## One vocabulary, not a second one
Everything below is a thin layer over what the form already uses:
`rule.validate` is the single total normaliser (the manual form, the compile
step and this all hand it the same raw shape), `schedules.create` writes the row
and the task chat together, and `rule.describe` says what came out in words. A
second dialect for models would mean two definitions of "every other Tuesday"
and one of them going quietly wrong.
The rule shape is documented in `services/schedule/rule.py` and repeated to the
model in the `tool.schedule` fragment, which is deliberately worded from
`task.schedule_compile` -- the prompt that has been turning people's words into
this same JSON since the feature shipped.
## What the tool answers with
`rule.describe(...)`, always, not "done". A schedule is invisible until it fires,
which may be days away, so the one moment anybody can check that Monday was
understood as Monday is the sentence in the reply. The model is told to quote it.
`ORIGIN_MODEL` goes on the row for the same reason: the Scheduled list can then
say which of these nobody typed.
## What it deliberately cannot do
Touch anybody else's schedules -- `schedules.get` takes the user and returns
None for a row that is not theirs, which is the whole authorisation here as it
is in the routes. And it cannot create an agent task: `schedules.create` refuses
that on its own terms, for reasons written down there.

"""Scheduling, as something a model can do.
The bug this closes is not a broken feature; it is an absent one. There was no
scheduling tool, so a model asked to "remind me every Monday" looked down a list
containing `notes_create` ("worth having in a later conversation") and
`memory_add` ("Remember one short, durable fact"), wrote a note, and said it had
scheduled something. Every screen agreed with it.
So the tests here are in two halves: the tool does what the form does, through
the same normaliser; and it is *offered* exactly when it can work, because a
model that cannot see it is back to writing notes.
