+/**
+ * TenderSchedulerService — a SINGLE global cron job driving the shared DÖE
+ * poll (INGEST-06, D-04). This is the poll-once-fan-out-many heart of the
+ * phase: unlike `DkvSchedulerService`, there is NO tenant dimension at all.
+ *
+ * Deliberate deviations from the DKV scheduler this reuses mechanics from
+ * (RESEARCH.md Pitfall D / PATTERNS.md ANTI-PATTERN note):
+ * - No per-tenant "active tenant id" instance field at all — DÖE config is
+ *   a genuine platform-wide singleton, not a per-tenant config to track.
+ * - `setInterval()` takes NO tenant argument — there is exactly one cron
+ *   job (`tender-doe-poll`) for the whole platform, regardless of how many
+ *   tenants activate the `tender-radar` module.
+ * - `onModuleInit()` loads the singleton config via `findUnique` on the
+ *   fixed `sourceType: 'doe-opendata'` slug — a fixed-slug lookup, not an
+ *   unfiltered/ordered "first match" query — to make the "one config, no
+ *   tenant iteration" intent explicit and self-documenting against future
+ *   copy-paste into a per-tenant source.
+ * - The day-cursor gate (whether an HTTP call actually happens) is NOT
+ *   here — it lives inside `TenderIngestionService.pollDueSources()`. This
+ *   scheduler only controls cron-tick frequency (Pitfall A separation).
+ *
+ * The two-tenant safety property (Success Criteria 4 & 5) is proven by
+ * `tender-scheduler.service.spec.ts` (Plan 04, Task 3): activating the
+ * module for a 2nd tenant must trigger zero additional DÖE calls, zero
+ * additional cron jobs, and zero additional Tender rows.
