Cron systemEvent job times out after ~960s even though agent runs in main session

증상

When a cron job is configured with sessionTarget: "main" and payload.kind: "systemEvent", the cron scheduler enforces a timeout on the agent turn. If the turn takes too long, the job is marked as error: "cron: job execution timed out".

원인

Resource bottleneck (CPU, memory, I/O, or network latency) or inefficient algorithm causing timeout or slowdown.

해결법

For systemEvent jobs targeting main, either remove the timeout entirely or make it configurable (similar to timeoutSeconds that exists for agentTurn payloads).
Alternatively, document what the timeout is and how to work around it for long-running tasks.
