chore(mcc): move IG re-pull schedule from Mac2 launchd to Kamatera-local cron

5d1c41bc8ed52970f00a90b123fcc40b85adf04f · 2026-07-22 12:20:02 -0700 · Steve Abrams

The re-pull's script AND data both live on Kamatera, so a Mac2 launchd job SSHing
in was a needless cross-machine dependency (Mac2 asleep / SSH hiccup at 06:20 would
silently skip it — the exact drift the job exists to prevent). Now a self-contained
root crontab entry on Kamatera (06:40 daily). Removed the Mac2 wrapper + plist;
added scripts/ig-repull-SCHEDULE.md documenting the cron. Verified: cron present,
a manual Kamatera run wrote a fresh healthy status, Mac2 job booted out + gone.

+Runs **daily 06:40 on Kamatera** via root crontab (self-contained; the script and
+its data both live on Kamatera, so no cross-machine dependency):

+The board shows the last run at a glance (IG re-pull health strip + Run-now button).
+
+History: was a Mac2 launchd job (com.steve.mcc-ig-repull) SSHing into Kamatera;
+moved to a Kamatera-local cron 2026-07-22 to drop the needless Mac2 dependency
+(a Mac2-asleep/SSH-hiccup at run time would have silently skipped it).
