- PR #101099: fix(cron): exempt OS error signatures from provider failure classification

A bug causes the cron failure summarizer to incorrectly classify non-authentication errors as provider authentication failures by matching substrings in embedded payload text. The accompanying fixes narrow classification to the error's first line and exempt OS-level error signatures from provider failure categorization.
