When does this happen?

IF System needs to be triggered at fixed times (cron) and allow manual re-run for missed executions.

How others solved it

THEN Implement OpenClaw cron schedule (e.g., 08:00, 20:00) to trigger the main execution function. Provide a manual trigger endpoint to execute on demand for missed runs. Store last execution timestamp for offset detection.

Use a state file (e.g., last_exec.json) to record the last successful run time. On each trigger, compare current time to last run; if gap exceeds interval, allow manual trigger by checking a flag or invoking an extra endpoint.
