Step 2: Edit and validate

Run:
picoclaw flow validate flows/schedule-notify.yaml

picoclaw flow validate flows/schedule-notify.yaml

Step 3: Run dry-run

Run:
picoclaw flow run flows/schedule-notify.yaml --dry-run

Copyable commands
picoclaw flow run flows/schedule-notify.yaml --dry-run

Step 4: Activate schedule
