The Handler dictates maintenance (#43). No schema change, no migration.

• Your Handler can dictate maintenance. A new grant, Schedule maintenance (act.maintenance, one change a day by default), lets your AI Handler or a pack's Handler set the slots (at most 6) and the maintenance window (10–60 min). It goes through the same consent ladder as everything else: granted, capped, and stopped by the safeword. It can never set the emergency window or refuse one, and an unknown key in the request is refused. The AI is shown the slots and this week's scheduled and emergency counts, never when or how long you were out, and a line written while seeing them is never relayed. Pack Handlers get a maintenance command in the kennel, and an AI kennel can send it too. Settings and the dashboard say who set the schedule. Saving it yourself takes it back.
