Scheduled Update Polling

Enable periodic update checks driven by human-readable interval strings, with sensible defaults and guardrails for invalid input.

Capabilities

Human-readable interval validation

• Omitting the interval uses a 10 minutes cadence and performs the initial check before scheduling repeats @test
• Providing an interval shorter than 5 minutes surfaces a descriptive error and does not start scheduling @test
• Passing an unparsable interval string rejects the configuration before any update checks run @test

Recurring update checks

• With a valid interval string such as 15 minutes, triggers one immediate update check and then schedules recurring checks at that cadence @test
