Schedules accept cron (`--cron "*/30 * * * *"`) or natural language (`--schedule "every 30 minutes"`). Minimum interval is 15 minutes. Targets are `--page <url>` for one page, `--scrape-urls a,b,c` for multiple scrape URLs, or `--crawl-url <url>` for a whole-site crawl each check. Use `--goal` for flag-based monitor creation, or include `"goal": "..."` in JSON payloads. Note: `--state` (not `--status`) sets active/paused; `--page-status` (not `--status`) filters page results on `check` — avoids collision with the global `--status` flag. Monitoring is not available for zero-data-retention teams.

**JSON-mode change tracking:** By default monitors diff each page's markdown and you get a unified text diff back. When you care about **specific structured fields** (price, headline, in-stock flag, items in a list) instead of the whole page, add a `changeTracking` format with `modes: ["json"]` and a JSON schema to the target's `scrapeOptions.formats`. The flag-based form doesn't cover this — pass a JSON body via file or stdin:
