Research direction

Investigate the scheduling logic in Matomo's TasksTimetable implementation. The bug is that new daily email reports are scheduled for the next day instead of the same day if added after the scheduled time. Look for a function that calculates the next run time for scheduled tasks, possibly in a file like 'core/TasksTimetable.php'. Check if there is a comparison of the current time with the scheduled time, and ensure that if the scheduled time is later in the day, the task should execute today. The fix might involve adjusting a condition or adding a check for same day scheduling when the scheduled time is after the current time.
