AI Summary

This release fixes a critical bug where scheduled functions would drift over time due to execution delays or blocking. The scheduler now anchors to the intended execution time to prevent permanent lag.

Key Highlights

  • Fix scheduled function drift
  • Scheduler anchors to intended execution time
  • Adopts `MissedTickBehaviour::Skip`-like semantics

Full Release Notes

## Bug Fixes

### Fix scheduled function drift

Scheduled functions were previously rescheduled from the actual execution time of the current run instead of the originally intended time. A small `tokio::time` precision delay, or head-of-line blocking from a prior run, would cause the schedule to permanently drift later over time. The scheduler now anchors to the intended execution time, adopting `MissedTickBehaviour::Skip`-like semantics.
