fix(flow-designer): author the canonical config.schedule the runtime reads

[os-zhuang]

The bug

The flow designer's start-node "Cron schedule" field wrote a flat config.cron string. But the automation runtime (resolveTriggerBinding → normalizeSchedule, in framework @objectstack/service-automation / @objectstack/trigger-schedule) only ever reads config.schedule — there is no config.cron → config.schedule conversion anywhere. So a schedule flow authored in the designer got config.cron, which the backend ignored → normalizeSchedule(undefined) → the flow silently never bound and never fired.

A second, related glitch: a code-authored object-shaped config.schedule ({ type: 'cron', expression }) rendered as "[object Object]" in the legacy bare-string text field.

(Found while adding the time-relative trigger panel; adjacent, pre-existing.)

The fix

packages/app-shell/.../metadata-admin/:

• inspectors/flow-node-config.ts — replace the dead config.cron field with a config.schedule.expression field (the canonical shape normalizeSchedule reads; it infers cron from expression, and any runtime-set type/timezone are preserved through edits since setAtPath merges). fallbackPath: ['config','cron'] surfaces and migrates an existing flat config.cron on first edit. Reading .expression renders an object-shaped schedule as its cron string, not "[object Object]". Drops the legacy bare-string config.schedule text field (which was the source of the "[object Object]" render). The field is also offered for the time_relative sweep cadence.
• previews/FlowCanvas.tsx — the node-card summary reads the nested config.schedule.expression (and config.timeRelative.object), so an object-shaped descriptor summarizes as its value.
• inspectors/flow-node-config.test.ts — covers the field path/fallback, object-shape read, config.cron migration read, gating, and removal of the raw config.schedule field.

Contract-first: the fix is on the producer (the designer authors the shape the runtime reads) — no lenient config.cron fallback was added to the backend consumer.

Testing

• flow-node-config.test.ts — 18 pass (5 new). ✅
• @object-ui/app-shell type-check green; ESLint clean (0 errors). ✅
• Browser-verified via the console preview gallery: the sample flow's flat config.cron: '0 9 * * *' now surfaces in the Cron schedule field (ready to migrate on edit); no "[object Object]"; zero JS errors.

Changeset included (@object-ui/app-shell patch).
