Yes. 'Follow up Thursday' or 'every Sunday, build the weekly report' are first-class: tasks persist with fire-at times from minutes to months out, survive restarts, and can be cancelled or rescheduled when plans change.
Scheduling is how work becomes truly delegated: not 'remind me to do it' but 'it happens, and I hear about the result.'
Completion, failure, and timeout each emit signals, so a scheduled job that goes wrong becomes a visible question, never a silent gap.
