Every Hour, On the Hour

Name: NodeTool
Author: NodeTool

A clock, and the two numbers a schedule actually needs: which tick this is, and when it fired. Set `interval_seconds` and the trigger emits on its own — no input, no caller. Everything downstream of it becomes a cron job. Leave `max_events` at 0 to run forever, or set it to stop after N.
