My Mac slept through its cron jobs

so I made goguma, a menu bar app. Wakes your Mac for scheduled jobs, holds it awake while long work finishes, and lets it sleep otherwise. Finds the cron jobs that have been missing runs; keeps a coding agent running with the lid shut. So, I decided to build goguma, a free, open-source Mac menu bar app that wakes your Mac only when a cron job/automation is scheduled to run.
