The rate limit auto-scheduler was creating timers for every hard block,
including short 5-minute throttles. This caused a death loop: agent hits
rate limit, timer set, agent exits, pipeline restarts before timer fires,
new agent dies instantly (Session: None) because API is still throttled.
Short rate limits are handled naturally by the CLI's internal wait. Only
schedule timers for long session-level blocks (>10 min) where the CLI
will exit and needs external restart.
