Hello Vercel team,

Could you clarify the provenance semantics of Runtime Logs Request Type = Cron Job (requestType:cron)? This is a general documentation question, not an outage report.

Does this classification distinguish a naturally scheduled invocation from a manual dashboard Run action, an on-demand CLI trigger, or an authenticated HTTP request to the same endpoint? Is it derived from trusted scheduler metadata, or can caller-supplied properties produce the same label?

The Runtime Logs documentation describes the filter, but I could not find an explicit guarantee that it proves a scheduled rather than manual start. Timing, authentication, a user-agent, and a successful application write do not establish that distinction on their own.

Could a Vercel team member explain what this label guarantees and cite an authoritative source? If it does not establish scheduled origin, is there a read-only platform field or execution record that does, ideally available on Hobby?

Thank you!
