Fill gaps from assistant conversations: clarify scheduling intervals

[mintlify]

Summary

Clarify on the scheduling concepts page that Checkly runs checks on a fixed interval and does not support cron or specific-time-of-day schedules, and point users to external triggering when they need a specific clock time.

Changes

• Added a "How scheduling works" section to concepts/scheduling.mdx that:
  • States checks run on a fixed interval (10s up to 24h, depending on check type), not at specific clock times.
  • Notes that cron expressions and "run at 1:00 AM daily"-style schedules are not supported by the built-in scheduler.
  • Explains that run times drift relative to the wall clock and are not aligned to a time zone.
  • Points users to checkly trigger and the Checkly API as the workaround for time-of-day scheduling.

Context

Assistant conversations in the review window included a user asking how to schedule a check at "1 AM every day"; the docs did not explicitly say the scheduler is interval-based, so the answer had to be inferred. This update surfaces that fact on the primary scheduling page.
