Research direction

Start by reviewing the documentation for Background.runner and the configuration example in capacitor.config.ts. Document the interval unit, its default when omitted, and the other parameters supported by Background.runner; done means these configuration details are explicitly described.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Nowhere in the documentation does it explain what interval is (milliseconds or minutes) and does not define the default value if interval is not set. Documentation also does not specify what other parameters can use used to set into capacitor.config.ts for Background.runner.
