// Periodic scheduling for the background context.
//
// The Chrome MV3 service worker is terminated after roughly 30 seconds idle,
// which takes every setInterval/setTimeout with it. The extension alarms API
// is the mechanism that survives: the browser holds the schedule and wakes
// the worker to deliver onAlarm. Firefox MV2 runs a persistent background
// page where timers would survive, but alarms behave identically there, so
// both targets share this path and both manifests declare the "alarms"
// permission.
//
// Periods are whole minutes at or above the browser-enforced one-minute
// minimum, so nothing here is silently clamped to a slower cadence.
//
// Trap for anyone changing a period: each job also carries a freshness guard
// that can veto its own scheduled tick. A guard timed to the alarm period
// halves the real cadence, because the guard is measured from when the last
// run finished and the alarm fires one run-duration earlier than that. Every
// guard must therefore either be strictly shorter than the period it gates or
// be bypassed on the scheduled tick — see backgroundRefresh() in
// src/background/index.js and updatePhishingList() in shared/phishingDomains.js.

/**
* Create an alarm unless one with the requested period already exists.

* The existence check is load-bearing: creating an alarm resets its schedule,
* and this runs on every worker wake. Creating unconditionally would push the
* next fire time out on every incoming message, so a busy extension would
* never see the alarm fire at all.
*
* The period comparison is equally load-bearing in the other direction: an
* alarm created by an older version keeps its old period forever unless a
* changed constant re-creates it, so a period edit would never reach an
* existing install. Re-creating on a period change happens once and then
* settles into the existence check above.
