…are queued Cron jobs like `check-pending-questions.py` and `sync-memory.sh` should not interrupt owner-task processing. `cron-gate.sh` defers the wrapped command when `$SUTANDO_WORKSPACE/tasks/*.txt` exists, then exits 0 so the scheduler sees success and the next scheduled fire retries. Usage (from crons.json prompts): bash scripts/cron-gate.sh <name> <command> [args...] - Empty task queue → exec the command - Tasks queued → log a defer message, exit 0 (retry next fire) - No command given → exit 1 with error Resolves SUTANDO_WORKSPACE the same way workspace_default.py does (env var → ~/.sutando/workspace default).

…gate in example Now that scripts/cron-gate.sh ships with the repo, the canonical crons.example.json should demonstrate its use for the two crons that compete with owner-task processing. Users who copy this example get deferred execution out of the box. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Good script. Logic is correct: resolve workspace from SUTANDO_WORKSPACE (with home fallback), count .txt files at depth-1 in tasks/, exec the command if queue is empty or defer with exit 0. The crons.example.json updates demonstrate the usage pattern cleanly. Per CLAUDE.md: this gate correctly targets sub-daily crons only (pending-questions */30, sync-memory */30, cross-node-sync) — daily crons like morning-briefing aren't gated since a skipped daily is unrecoverable until the next day. Approved.
