Document scheduled model retraining#4981
Conversation
The Viam app now supports setting a retraining schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly) on ML models trained with a linked dataset. This adds a subsection to the retrain guide describing the feature.

Pull request overview
Updates the vision model drift/retraining guide to document the newly added “scheduled model retraining” feature available in the Viam app, so users can automate periodic retraining runs from the model details page.
Changes:
- Adds a “Schedule automatic retraining” subsection under “Train a new model version”.
- Documents how to configure daily/weekly/monthly schedules in the UI and notes current limitations (built-in training + linked dataset; no custom training scripts yet).
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

| Instead of manually starting a training job each time you add new data, you can set a retraining schedule on a model. | ||
| Viam checks the schedule daily and submits a new training job when the model is due. |

The scheduler timing is ambiguous here. Since scheduled retraining is evaluated once per day (per PR description, at midnight UTC), the docs should state the timezone/time-of-day explicitly so users don’t assume local-time scheduling or an immediate retrain after the selected day begins.

Fixed in ea74026. Applied the suggestion — added "once per day at midnight UTC" to clarify the evaluation timing.
