- PR #129016: fix(cron): preflight no longer blocks a wake on a model-scoped Anthropic cooldown

A bug where cron preflight incorrectly blocks scheduled wakes when an Anthropic model-scoped cooldown is active, treating it as a missing credential rather than a temporary hold. The cluster includes the bug report and two related fix attempts addressing cooldown handling in cron quota logic.
