 Ask the agent to manage jobs through the `cronjob_manage` tool, `hermes cron edit`, or `/cron` — not by patching `jobs.json` directly. Direct edits can fail silently when [file write safety](../security.md#file-write-safety) blocks the path (for example when `HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT` is set), and the [file-mutation verifier](../configuration.md#file-mutation-verifier) footer is the authoritative signal that nothing was saved.

-If a hand edit leaves `jobs.json` malformed, the scheduler repairs it on the next load instead of stopping: entries in the `jobs` list that are not JSON objects are dropped, and a `repeat.completed` that is not a non-negative integer is normalized to one (0 when it can't be read). Each repair is logged as a warning (value types only, never contents).

 Jobs may store `model` and `provider` as `null`. When those fields are omitted, Hermes resolves them at execution time from the global configuration. They only appear in the job record when a per-job override is set.
