 To prevent all users from firing at the same time on the hour, the scheduler applies deterministic jitter: recurring tasks are shifted forward by `min(10% of the period, 15 minutes)`; one-time tasks that fall exactly on `:00` or `:30` are moved forward by up to 90 seconds. If the scheduler misses several fire times (e.g., because the laptop was sleeping), it fires only once on wake-up — the prompt is wrapped in a `<cron-fire>` envelope with a `coalescedCount`. Recurring tasks that have been alive for more than 7 days fire one final time with `stale="true"` and are then automatically deleted; call `CronCreate` again to keep them.
 
+When the current goal is paused, due scheduled prompts stay queued without making model calls. They become eligible to fire after you run `/goal resume`.
+
 **`CronList`** is a read-only tool that accepts no parameters. It returns one record per active task with fields: `id`, `cron`, `humanSchedule`, `nextFireAt`, `recurring`, `ageDays`, and `stale`. Records are separated by `---` and sorted by schedule time.
 
 **`CronDelete`** accepts a single `id`. For recurring tasks, all future fires stop immediately; for one-time tasks, the pending fire is cancelled. One-time tasks that have already fired are auto-deleted, so calling `CronDelete` on an already-fired one-time task returns `No cron job with id ...`. Deletion is irreversible — use `CronCreate` again to restore. `CronDelete` is also blocked in Plan mode.

 为避免整批用户在整点同时触发，调度器会做确定性抖动：周期任务向后偏移 `min(周期的 10%, 15 分钟)`；一次性任务若恰好落在 `:00` 或 `:30` 则向前提前最多 90 秒。如果调度器错过了若干触发时刻（如笔记本合盖），唤醒后只会触发一次，prompt 会包裹在 `<cron-fire>` 信封里并附带 `coalescedCount`。周期任务存活超过 7 天后会以 `stale="true"` 做最后一次触发后自动删除；想继续保留时，再次调用 `CronCreate` 即可。
 
+当前目标暂停时，已到期的定时 prompt 会留在队列中，且不会触发模型调用。运行 `/goal resume` 后，这些 prompt 会重新具备触发条件。
+
 **`CronList`** 是只读工具，不接受任何参数。为每个生效中的任务返回一条记录，字段包括 `id`、`cron`、`humanSchedule`、`nextFireAt`、`recurring`、`ageDays` 和 `stale`。记录用 `---` 分隔，按调度时间排列。
 
 **`CronDelete`** 只接受一个 `id`。对周期任务，未来所有触发立即停止；对一次性任务，挂起的那次触发会被取消。已触发的一次性任务会自动删除，因此对已触发过的一次性任务调用 `CronDelete` 会返回 `No cron job with id ...`。删除不可撤销，需要还原时只能再次 `CronCreate`。`CronDelete` 在 Plan 模式下同样会被拦截。
