#081: Payroll Scheduler Backend Wiring

Category: [FRONTEND]
Difficulty: ● HARD
Tags: scheduler, backend, cron, api, wizard

Description

Connect PayrollScheduler.tsx (and SchedulingWizard.tsx) to the backend scheduling API so that scheduled payroll configs are persisted in the database and the backend cron job triggers on-chain bulk payments at the configured time. The frontend should reflect the next scheduled run and allow real-time cancellation of pending schedules.

Acceptance Criteria

• Save Schedule submits to POST /api/schedules and persists config.
• Active schedules listed with next-run timestamp from backend.
• Cancellation calls DELETE /api/schedules/:id and updates UI immediately.
• CountdownTimer driven by the server-returned next_run_at timestamp.
• Backend job executes bulk_payment contract invocation at the scheduled time.
