`parseCronField` set `end = start` for any part that was not `*` and had
no `-`, so a bare value carrying a step fell into the single-value branch
and the step was dropped. `5/15` in the minute field parsed to exactly
`{5}`, and `isValidAutomationCronSchedule` reported it valid, so an
automation the user wrote as "every 15 minutes from :05" ran once an
hour with no warning.
This is not a display-only path: automation-schedule-operations.ts and
automation-definition-operations.ts derive `nextRunAt` from
nextAutomationOccurrenceAfter, so the dropped step changed when the
automation actually fired.
No cron dialect reads `5/15` as "the 5th minute of every hour". The
Vixie/cronie man page documents steps only after a range or an asterisk
and leaves a bare start undefined; Quartz and the cron editors people
paste from read `N/step` as `N-<max>/step`. Silently producing a third
answer is the defect — the choice is to expand or to reject.
Expand, because:
- `*` is already the shorthand for `min-max` in this same function, so
treating a bare start with a step as `start-max` is that pattern's
natural extension rather than a new rule.
- Rejecting would turn existing saved automations invalid, which is more
destructive than correcting their cadence.
Verified that `5/15` and `5-59/15` now produce identical occurrence
sequences, likewise `1/2` and `1-7/2` in day-of-week, and that a bare
value with no step is unchanged.
NOTE: this changes the cadence of any existing automation written with
`N/step` — it starts firing on the interval its author wrote instead of
once per field cycle.
