// Minimal cron expression parsing and next-run calculation.

// Supports the standard 5-field cron subset:
// minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week
//
// Field syntax: wildcard, N, step (star-slash-N), range (N-M), list (N,M,...).
// No L, W, ?, or name aliases. All times are interpreted in the process's
// local timezone — "0 9 * * *" means 9am wherever the CLI is running.

* Compute the next Date strictly after `from` that matches the cron fields,
* using the process's local timezone. Walks forward minute-by-minute. Bounded
* at 366 days; returns null if no match (impossible for valid cron, but
* satisfies the type).
*
* Standard cron semantics: when both dayOfMonth and dayOfWeek are constrained
* (neither is the full range), a date matches if EITHER matches.
*
* DST: fixed-hour crons targeting a spring-forward gap (e.g. `30 2 * * *`
* in a US timezone) skip the transition day — the gap hour never appears
* in local time, so the hour-set check fails and the loop moves on.
* Wildcard-hour crons (`30 * * * *`) fire at the first valid minute after
* the gap. Fall-back repeats fire once (the step-forward logic jumps past
* the second occurrence). This matches vixie-cron behavior.
