If the cron is not running then it will probably fail silently because of EOL issues.
Check EOL
# @see ttps://unix.stackexchange.com/a/389616
cat -A file
Add EOL option to VSCode
"files.eol": "\n"
Recreate the cron file and rebuild the workspace container
Update git config
# @see https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_formatting_and_whitespace
git config --global core.autocrlf true
