- #125872: cron: an exhausted recurring job (finite repeat) cannot be revived - resume and --at/--run-now each refuse and point at the other
- PR #125939: fix(cron): restart a spent recurring series through plain resume (#125872)
- PR #126932: fix(cron): let resume restart an exhausted recurring job's series

These items address a bug where a finite recurring cron job that has exhausted its repeat count cannot be revived: both 'resume' and scheduling flags refuse to restart it and deflect to each other. The fixes allow resume to properly restart such an exhausted series.
