Summary

Fixes the cron reminder issue reported by Discord user Farzad — cron reminders keep firing after the user tells the agent to stop.

What this PR does: Makes it easier for both users and models to stop cron jobs by improving the delivery message and tool guidance.

Root Cause

Not a code bug — the cron remove/pause actions work correctly. The problem is UX:

  1. Delivery wrapper had no job_id — when the user says "stop that reminder", the conversational agent has no way to identify which job without listing first
  2. Footer said "The agent cannot see this message" — technically accurate (cron runs in isolated sessions) but users interpreted it as "the agent can't manage crons at all"
  3. Tool schema didn't guide models on the list→remove workflow — models (especially GPT-5.4) would say "ok I'll stop" without actually calling the tool, or try to guess a job_id

Changes

File Change
cron/scheduler.py Add (job_id: ...) to delivery wrapper; replace confusing footer with actionable guidance
tools/cronjob_tools.py Add list→remove guidance in tool schema description
tests/cron/test_scheduler.py Update assertions for new wrapper format

Before

Cronjob Response: call-mom-reminder
-------------

Hey! Just a reminder to call Mom.

Note: The agent cannot see this message, and therefore cannot respond to it.

After

Cronjob Response: call-mom-reminder
(job_id: a1b2c3d4)
-------------

Hey! Just a reminder to call Mom.

To stop or manage this job, send me a new message (e.g. "stop reminder call-mom-reminder").

Three fixes for the duplicate reply bug affecting all gateway platforms:

1. base.py: Suppress stale response when the session was interrupted by a
   new message that hasn't been consumed yet. Checks both interrupt_event
   and _pending_messages to avoid false positives. (#8221, #2483)

2. run.py (return path): Remove response_previewed guard from already_sent
   check. Stream consumer's already_sent alone is authoritative — if
   content was delivered via streaming, the duplicate send must be
   suppressed regardless of the agent's response_previewed flag. (#8375)

3. run.py (queued-message path): Same fix — already_sent without
   response_previewed now correctly marks the first response as already
   streamed, preventing re-send before processing the queued message.

The response_previewed field is still produced by the agent (run_agent.py)
but is no longer required as a gate for duplicate suppression. The stream
consumer's already_sent flag is the delivery-level truth about what the
user actually saw.

Concepts from PR #8380 (konsisumer). Closes #8375, #8221, #2483.
…kflow

Users reported cron reminders keep firing after asking the agent to stop.
Root cause: the conversational agent didn't know the job_id (not in delivery)
and models don't reliably do the list→remove two-step without guidance.

1. Include job_id in the cron delivery wrapper so users and agents can
   reference it when requesting removal.

2. Replace confusing footer ('The agent cannot see this message') with
   actionable guidance ('To stop or manage this job, send me a new
   message').

3. Add explicit list→remove guidance in the cronjob tool schema so models
   know to list first and never guess job IDs.
