Operations timezone

# Operations timezone The one instance-wide IANA timezone baseline every cadence is relative to. A `ProgramSchedule` stores only its wall-clock **hour**; that hour is interpreted against the operations timezone, and the scheduler's Croner fires it there → the exact absolute (UTC) instant. So a cadence set to "9am" fires at 9am *in this zone*, and changing the baseline **re-relativizes every cadence at once** — the one-action way to relocate (Sydney → New York) without editing a single domain. It is **Director-only** (set in Settings → Timezone) and **instance-wide**: every member operates under it. Cadence times display in this zone first with the absolute UTC alongside, so "when does this run" is never ambiguous. Stored in the record meta (`aux/meta.json` `operationsTimezone`); read by both the clients and the daemon scheduler.Open on GitHub
