Summary

Give Pickup runs a 20-second head start when they share scheduled minutes with Architect runs. Show the delay in the combined crontab and explain where to add it.

-*/5 * * * * cd ~/repos/widgets && thirdshift architect base main --plan-only >> ~/.thirdshift/logs/cron.log 2>&1
+*/5 * * * * cd ~/repos/widgets && sleep 20 && thirdshift architect base main --plan-only >> ~/.thirdshift/logs/cron.log 2>&1

Closes #345

Evidence

• Before: The combined crontab started Architect and Pickup commands on the same scheduled minute without a delay.
  After: Shell execution with stubs confirmed cd -> sleep 20 -> thirdshift architect base main --plan-only, in the Launch directory. A failed cd starts neither command.
• All eight README crontab commands passed /bin/sh -n.
• cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings passed.
• cargo test --test command_surface: 29 passed.
• cargo test: 1086 passed, 0 failed, 0 ignored across 34 test binaries.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Revert the README change.

Blast Radius: documentation

Users copying the combined crontab delay each Architect pass by 20 seconds; Pickup timing is unchanged.
