docs(automation): rename scheduled-tasks feature wording to Automations (#114855)

* docs(automation): rename scheduled-tasks feature wording to Automations

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: regenerate docs map and add Automations glossary entries

* docs(templates): follow renamed automations-vs-heartbeat anchor

* docs(automation): fix markdown formatting drift

* docs(automation): teach the canonical automations tool and sync the copied heartbeat default

Review follow-ups: normal instructions use the automations tool with cron as
an explicit compatibility alias; every verbatim copy of the default heartbeat
prompt matches the new shipped text from the strings PR.

When you receive a heartbeat poll (message matches the configured heartbeat prompt), don't just reply `HEARTBEAT_OK` every time. Keep a short checklist or reminders in the heartbeat monitor's cron scratch; use `openclaw cron list --all` to find the monitor job, then `openclaw cron scratch <jobId> --set "..."` to update it. Keep it small to limit token burn.
See [Scheduled Tasks (Cron) vs Heartbeat](/automation#scheduled-tasks-cron-vs-heartbeat) for the full decision table. Short version: heartbeat batches periodic checks with full session context on approximate timing (default every 30 minutes); cron is for exact timing, isolated runs, a different model, or one-shot reminders.
