Teknium cb29e8a82e refactor(cron): rebrand Cron Recipes -> Automation Blueprints
Product rename across every surface: module/file names (blueprint_catalog,
tools/blueprints, blueprint_cmd), slash command /cron-recipe -> /blueprint
(alias /bp), dashboard API /api/cron/blueprints, desktop deep-link
hermes://blueprint/<key>, docs catalog page + extract script, and the
skill frontmatter block metadata.hermes.blueprint. No behavior change.

# Automation Blueprints
Automation Blueprints are ready-to-run automation templates. Pick one, fill in a couple
of fields, and Hermes schedules it as a cron job — no cron syntax required.
Every blueprint works from **every surface**:
- **Dashboard / desktop app** — open the Cron page, switch to the **Blueprints**
tab, fill the form, and click *Schedule it*.
- **CLI, TUI, and messengers** — type `/blueprint <name>` (e.g.
`/blueprint morning-brief`) and Hermes asks you for what it needs, one
question at a time, then schedules it. The name match is forgiving — a
prefix or near-spelling resolves. Power users can skip the questions by
passing values inline: `/blueprint morning-brief time=08:00`.
- **Desktop app** — click **Send to App** on any blueprint and it opens with the
command pre-loaded in your composer.
Blueprints never schedule anything silently — you always confirm before the job
is created. Manage created jobs anytime with `/cron`.

## Writing your own
A blueprint is just a skill with a `metadata.hermes.blueprint` block in its
`SKILL.md` frontmatter. See
[Creating Skills → Automation Blueprints](../developer-guide/creating-skills.md) for the
slot schema and how to publish one.
