fix(cron): read per-job max_tokens from job config and pass to AIAgent

[liuhao1024]

What does this PR do?

Wires up the per-job max_tokens config key so cron jobs can override the output token limit. Previously, run_job() read job.get("model"), reasoning config, prefill messages, toolsets, etc. from the job config — but never read max_tokens, so any "max_tokens": 4096 (or any value) in a job's jobs.json entry was silently ignored and AIAgent always defaulted to max_tokens=None.

Type of Change

• 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

Changes Made

• cron/scheduler.py: Extract job.get("max_tokens") with int validation and warning on invalid values, then pass it as max_tokens=job_max_tokens to the AIAgent(...) constructor call in run_job().

How to Test

1. Run grep -n 'max_tokens' cron/scheduler.py — should now show the extraction (L2729) and the AIAgent kwarg (L2891).
2. Run python -c "from cron.scheduler import run_job; print('import ok')" — should pass without errors.
3. Run pytest tests/cron/ -q — should pass (pre-existing unrelated failures in test_all_token_case_insensitive are upstream issues).
4. Create a test cron job with "max_tokens": 4096 in its jobs.json entry, trigger it, and observe the agent respects the per-job limit instead of silently ignoring it.

Thanks — the diagnosis was correct (the scheduler never read max_tokens from job config, so the key was silently inert), and the implementation was clean. Closing on a policy decision rather than a code-quality one: after review, we don't want per-job max_tokens as a user-facing knob at all. Output-token caps interact badly with agent loops (truncated tool calls, malformed JSON mid-generation) and the failure modes are worse than the truncation loops they'd be limiting. The rest of your batch from today (#58431, #58378, #58397) was salvaged and merged with your authorship preserved — thanks for the solid work.
