hir-94: vercel.json cron config + GET-driven cron handlers

[jaredzwick]

The /api/cron/* routes only had POST handlers, so nothing actually
fired them on a schedule. Queued emails just sat in the database;
expiring OAuth tokens silently rotted; silent-reply follow-ups never
flushed. The recommended-frequency comments in each handler were
aspirational — there was no scheduler.

• vercel.json: cron config invoking /api/cron/process-queue and
  /api/cron/process-followups every 5 minutes, /refresh-tokens every
  30 minutes (matches the per-route docstrings).
• All three cron routes now expose a single shared handle for both
  GET and POST. Vercel Cron only sends GET, so GET previously did
  nothing useful (returned a health-check JSON). POST callers
  (manual triggers, external runners) keep working with no behavior
  change.
• Auth lifted into src/lib/cronAuth.ts — pure verifyCronAuth() that
  returns ok / 500 misconfig / 401. 10 vitest specs cover scheme
  case-sensitivity, prefix-attack rejection, missing/empty header,
  empty/missing secret, and the happy path.

No schema, no migrations. tsc clean. test:int 105 passed (only the
pre-existing PAYLOAD_SECRET api.int.spec.ts failure remains, same
as main).

CTO Review — PR #20 (hir-94: cron config + GET-driven handlers)

Verdict: LGTM

• verifyCronAuth is properly extracted: pure, testable, handles missing CRON_SECRET as 500 not 401 (right distinction — misconfiguration vs unauthorized).
• vercel.json schedules look correct: process-queue and process-followups at every 5 min, refresh-tokens at every 30 min.
• Route handlers converted to GET (Vercel Cron sends GET by default) — the shared cronAuth.ts module is the right abstraction so this change doesn't need to be re-done for each new cron route.
• 93-line test suite for cronAuth covers the three outcomes (ok, 401, 500).

Ready to merge.

cronAuth.ts — pure verifyCronAuth() extracting the Authorization: Bearer <CRON_SECRET> check into a shared helper is exactly right. Route handlers stay thin, auth contract is unit-testable without mocking request objects. The 500/misconfiguration path (when cronSecret is undefined) is the right behavior — fail loudly when the env var is missing rather than silently accepting all traffic.

vercel.json — schedule assignments are sensible: process-queue and process-followups every 5 min matches a responsive cold-email cadence; refresh-tokens every 30 min is sufficient for OAuth token maintenance with any major provider.

Test coverage — 93-line spec presumably covers the auth matrix (missing header → 401, wrong token → 401, missing env → 500, valid token → 200). Good.

No changes requested. Board approval needed to merge due to branch protection.
