Cron jobs get Clawdbot stuck in a loop
Setting up a simple reminder triggers a loop of death where Clawd gets stuck and becomes unresponsive.
Seems like it's not using the correct cron CLI parameters but my knowledge is limited on the tech aspects.
This should be a feature that works out of the box but definilyte isnt.
Logs below (these appear repeatedly in a loop until I kill the process entirely)
