fix: Custom cron input and auto-sync rescheduling

- Fixed custom cron input field to be properly editable with autoFocus
- Added helpful cron examples and better validation feedback
- Fixed cron validation to work with 5-field expressions (node-cron format)
- Added auto-sync rescheduling when settings are saved via API route
- Improved user experience with better error handling and examples

The custom cron input now works properly and auto-sync will reschedule
immediately when settings are saved, including custom cron expressions.
