Step 4 - Autonomous: Ambient Mode + Scheduler

Adds two forms of autonomy:

1. Ambient mode - background thread keeps working during idle time
2. Scheduler - cron-style recurring jobs

Run ambient mode

pip install -r requirements.txt
export BEDROCK_AGENTCORE_MEMORY_ID=<your memory id>
python agent.py

Ask a deep question, then wait 20 seconds. Watch 🌙 messages stream in.

Run scheduler (separate terminal)

python scheduler.py             # fires every 5 min, writes journal.md

Override interval:

AIM308_SCHEDULE_MIN=1 python scheduler.py

Next → step-05-deploy.
